serves people right for living near the track... i agree with that point.

dont move there and complain after. These 'minority' groups should be slapped around the head and told to be quiet or MOVE.

i live not far from calder and i used to LOVE hearing the top fuellers (when they were there years ago) fly up the strip.

I could hear it and i was about 15 mins away, but i have no problem.

Do u want to be responsible for causing an accident at high speed and killing an innocent road user.

:(

Vl can set some good record, yes i've seen it, my friends own Vls too but when we talk about 10sec passes all day or 11 or 12 it would be Gtr.

I don't dis Vl cos' i own skyline but really that's how i see it. Another thing is on track, i don't see no VLs, i've seen r31 and that but no VL even though the RB30 can be powerfull. Maybe it's the Holden shell that doesn't created much balance!

yup i total agree with that statment about vls not able to run 11 12 sewc pass all day

hahaha

Do u want to be responsible for causing an accident at high speed and killing an innocent road user.

While that could be true, most of the time you are going to take out are going to be other spectators.. if people are hanging around the drags there is always that risk.. but its a risk that ppl knowingly take. The perception that illegal drag racing poses a "danger to others" is a bit of a fallacy i think, the only danger illegal drag racers is being a "danger to themselves". I don't see a problem with that, just like if I choose to stand in the middle of the road, i expect to get run over :D

thats wrong they should have a pic of a vl or s'thin coz theres so many commonwhores around, they cant just single out imports, what bout the v8 petrol drinkers too.  

I do agree that street racing is wrong, i think people should be more responsible.

dude why be so narrow minded?you wanna catergorise all commo drivers then expect to be catergorised yourself.

what your complaining about others doin,your doin yourself!

    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc. 
    • Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.  
    • So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets   
    • Short inlet runners cost quite a bit. Dulls off the off-boost torque, and delays boost onset, because arrival of boost is driven by gas flow is a product of the ability to flow air which is torque. This is the reason that the stock manifolds have longer runners. On a 3L, or bigger, you can usually accept the compromise of giving away some torque because the extra capacity gives you a little extra to waste. But on a smaller motor, there's not a lot there to start with. Example, I swapped RB20 out of my R32, 25NeoDET in its place. The "wall of torque" that I experienced afterwards made it all worthwhile. That's because I came from RB20 land where torque is not a thing. But I would not do anything, anything at all, to reduce the low/mid torque I have now, because I remember what it is like to not have it!
    • Really, low/midrange torque goes really bad?? I want decent acceleration, maybe I use a stock rb25det neo manifold?
