They obviously don't have too much mechanical simpathy in this magazine... "for 11s, hold the GTR at rev limit for 5 seconds and drop the clutch". Ouch! Otherwise, it's not a bad read... I'm interested to see Ignition DVD again when it has the next installment of the Tskuba trip of the Hi Octane GTR :laugh:

Did anyone else find it a bit weird them saying you only need 230rwkw out of a GTST to do an 11 second pass? Has anyone ran a 11 second pass with only 230rwkw?

I do know someone who had an R33 GTST with 210rwkw and ran a best of 12.0 with just a little wheelspin. Then, on what turned out to be his last run of the night, he hooked up really well off the line only to break a non-genuine uni joint!

did anyone catch the american r33 gtr on the ignition dvd. 1000hp of goodness and boy does that thing go. check out the in car shot when he dumps it on the street.

P.S. Blitz, your car is a absolute stunner. well done :)

can be - if ur running front runners and Mickey Thompson or the like on the back

i know of a certain 33gts-t that has around 550rwhp and ran 11.4

one of the only times he ran MT's on the back he nearly sent it sideways into the wall

reason it doesnt run quicker is boosts too late (full boost by 4500rpm with *i think* 8000rpm rev limit)

anyway - gonna have to try to get the mag 2morrow then hey

I love getting the free ignition dvd each month.

The female hosts are stunners!... although the present one and the past one both look the same!!! I think they even have the same name and initials if I recall correctly; Kirsty Allen & Kirsty Ambrush ?....

Only thing is, I seriously question how much they both know about cars, other than just being a pretty face.

    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
