cheers DC. yeah that was from last night, Josh had his 33 out as well which was doing mid 12 also, his is much better to look at than mine though.

Was hanging out to do this, got some Nitto's off MattR not long ago but just have too much and have the Time-Attack coming up on the 11th June (pending weather) - and a little weary with the gearbox/drive-train prior hence had to make late decision to miss it :( plus it got shifted from original date which was the killer... but great time and that is a good reaction time as many have noted! Can hardly wait till the next one!

Only photo Ive got until Lukey puts some up from the drags, tell your Mrs thanks for the pic nelson.lol

Managed a best of 12.7 @ 120.1mph, 2.5 60ft. has the power, just need the traction, wasnt too keen to drop the tyre pressure too much with cheap 235s on a 9.5"rim. I know this isn an ideal drag set up, but i was keen to know what it would run how i drive it everyday on the street with no changes. I think ill attend the july 1/4 with some drag radials and stock suspension to boot.

I just looked through my timeslips and my best 60' in the S15 was 1.902 - and sadly that wasn't on my fastest run. I never ran on drag radials - I now wish I had tried some back in the day, as I always spun some through 1-2 and 2-3 gear changes. Helps that the S15 was only 1,250kg too :)

^^ Someone changes their rims....Look like Enkei light-weight :P Good to see 3 skylines in the same pic

Thanks again DC

Would be good if more imports go out, i was getting tired of the big blocks passing me on 2 wheels :( Going to get some prices on drag radials soon and pretty sure ill be out for the july street meet.

The enkeis are sweet, aggressive stance on it looks awesome.

Luke has his pics up, there are a few of yours.

Haha harsh, I didnt know that threads in the SA section meant that others were unwelcome??

I obviously posted my other car in here a while back, and this was still in my "my content" list, with a new post, therefore I posted my recent aquirement

Go ahead and delete it if it is that much of an issue :s

Nah it's not an issue mate - I was just wondering how anyone from another state even found their way into the SA forums, that is all. And I did say your car was pimp :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
