Apart from a mechanical failure but thats not covered by insurance anyways.

Sounds like we live within a few minutes of each other Boostzor, I have seen a few supras like yours floating around the Bullcreek/Willetton area but to be honest haven't looked to closely at them to see if they ahd the same mags as you.

Question:

For ppl who have run a 1/4 before what sort of launch rpm do you use and how different is it from the rpm you use on the street? higher...lower??

Just trying to get a rough idea of what to try on the 18th.

I think Gradenkowas saying launch at around 5.5 when on street its like 4.7. I launch alot earlier so im not sure about the lines.

Leaving work to go get my car back now minus one wheel (spare) and one flat battery due to the fact its been left off the road soo long. *does the anti-moron dance*:D :burnout:

In theory, my safc is at the post office on monday, if i can get it in, boosted and tuned next week, im there too. If not, ill watch, its always good seing commodores get eaten by, well anything, theyre always "WTF".

Doesnt the price to race include a temporary andra licence and insurance?

They are the drag racing governing body. They take care of licencing, rules, all the boring stuff. To drag race you have to have an andra licence, thats part of the fee you pay to race at the plex. Theres some info there, and some on the plex site, that tells you exactly what you get for your money.

Well I just got the KCA349 parts fitted for maximum traction (not drift :P ) and I must say I give it the big thumbs up. Definately getting more traction on takeoff and cornering (rear end seems much stiffer) which is all good when you've got 0.8bar running through the turbo (the back end was getting too tail happy). So if its dry on sunday and cool I'll be down there trying to get into the high 13's.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
