Just posting up about last week at wsid.I had met quite a few of the skyline forum members down there s the tyre gauge I lent out sparked up conversation everywhere. I only go twice ayear to the drags and I ended up popping the 0.000 reaction time and ended up taking home $960 dollars. I didnt even know there was a prize for this..I am still amazed!!

Btw very nice to meet you guys there the other night cheers

yeah

the timing equipment at WSID is obviously better than it was at the old Creek strip, because i seem to remember any better than a 0.004 at the old track was classed as a redlight.

I have heard this too.On their website of wsid they actually have an article before the night that it is the quickest reaction time without crossing the red.This must mean that they know if I had run the red!!Which obviously I didnt.

60 footers went to buggery 2.486 to 2.9 . Standard ones do 2.3 lol. As a result the et wasnt good at all. The wagon had no traction whatsoever.I had taken it out to see where its at. Last year it ran a 14.7 .It has more power this year but just cant get traction. Today I treated it nicely and installed some traction enhancing parts.The takeoff has dramatically improved.The rear leaf springs are not flexing at all.

The last run of the night and no final timing board.Tyre pressures were adjusted and the car recorded a 2.109 60 footer 6.088 330 footer and 9.335 660 footer.This run was on par with a 14.5 1/4 but never got recorded.But it happens and I still had a great night.

at willowbank a perfect reaction time is 0.400 cause it starts timing when the last amber light goes off. this is taken from the willowbank raceway website

It measures the time from when the last amber come on to when your front wheel clears the start line beam. Now as there is exactly 4 tenths of a second between lights, it then follows that a "perfect light" will be four tenths of a second - meaning that the vehicle has cleared the stage beam at exactly the same time as the green light came on. This is shown on the time slip as .400. Anything less than this means that you left too early and red lighted (fouled) and any more than this is wasted time sitting at the start line.

Hey mate how are you? I went last week and got a pb of 14.5 95.68mph. For a na six au taxi wagon..I was stoked!!

Btw I didnt know the darn gauge was faulty on the night ..I am sorry:(

Also wsid do have the best timers and they also register red light breakouts.It was not a breakout.

new pb thats good. i should be heading out in bout 3 weeks or so with some new upgrades... thats one quick taxi

HEHEH Its not too bad .i did 90% of the work myself and had Croydon racing tune it. It isnt running 100% as it needs the diff gears and a few things I have touched retuned. I would love to run a 13 na but thats another story.

Good luck in 3 weeks mate:) :P

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
