Here are a few video clips from the drags:

Boostzor's 14.36 run, watch that exhaust go for it! (4.4MB)

InitialD's 14.04 run. (3.6MB)

Gradenkos 14.04 run, mmm love the sound of a 3" straight thru exhaust... (4.4MB)

http://www.iinet.net.au/~bsisko/drags0208_Gradenko.avi

Thats all we got before we ran out of tape :-(

They're compressed using DivX 5.0.2. The file sizes are huge cause I couldn't bare to lower the res anymore than 500x400. Even so, the quality is pretty poor. Anyone know how to compress DivX without those pesky artifacts coming through? (look at spinning wheels or fast pans)

I've got a few more clips lined up ready to edit, like Boostzors incident and Miss Autosalon :D

Edit: Silly me, here I was thinking that our dv cam took progressive footage, turns out its interlaced. Only mega buck cams (read greater than $10k) record progressive. I was treating it as progressive video, hence all the interlaced artifacts. Anyway, i've uploaded new copies as of 6:30pm (perth time). Nothing different about the clips expcept they look a little nicer.

Oh, I didn't notice that. Still, seeing as timing doesn't include reaction time and it only starts when the car leaves the line, I think 14.04s should stand.

RadiuM, can I take you up on the offer of webspace? I don't think my account has enough space for the next clip I'll have finished.

except when u brake

when u leave b4 .4 of a sec the time is taken off your final et

re action time is the time it takes u to break the first laser beam, et starts from when u break the 2nd. so leaving early does reduce your time.

but a 14.2 still is good and on par with all initald's other runs.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
