Hey Guys

Here are a few of the pics taken by a mate of mine, I asked him to get photos of everyone but he must have miss heard me say "dont use the camera at all" :laugh:

Nah he did his best, but it was his first time with an DSLR and a pro unit at that (no auto mode)...

My best run for the day was;

60ft - ET - MPH

2.084 - 13.578 - 103.31

Not bad for a stock SS I reckon (315rwhp - 1850kg) if anything she loved smoking the tyres... :rofl:

Also be sure to check out this thread Click Here and copy in the info from your time slips...

Anyway here is a selection of what he took...

Not sure why you were so happy, maybe cause you took down another RB25... Shame you could not take down the SS tho hey... :rofl:

Like my skid Dave???

Here is a closer look...

_MG_8726_MG_8726.jpg

6500rpm dump 3rd gear, 160kph at the rear wheels burnout...

_MG_8730_MG_8730.jpg

We had to wait for the smoke to clear on a few runs and then i was told to tone down the burnouts...

_MG_8814_MG_8814.jpg

One last big one for the cameras... :laugh:

_MG_8820_MG_8820.jpg

After this it was my last run, officials were less than impressed...

_MG_8878_MG_8878.jpg

Michaels rev limiter skid...

_MG_8906_MG_8906.jpg

This Ninja had a wild ride, one wheel til about the 180ft mark... Then he hit 3rd and it was back up on one wheel and he still did a high 12...

_MG_8935_MG_8935.jpg

I cleaned out the wheel arch's this morning and found about a 1cm of rubber all the way round the arch...

Nice pics, I had a blast, was hoping for 13's, mph suggests it's there but need better tyres, my best for the day was:

60ft - ET - MPH

2.292 - 14.325 - 100.65

Not bad for an old RB20 NICS.

Bit disappointed that i missed this event. Bloody chrissy party. Would have been interesting to see how mine ran. Maybe next time if it happens again. Just have to get out to a couple of test and tunes and fight through the crowd. But good to see a nice turn out and some pics.

lol it was an awsome day, until gates opened to public then got boring and line ups suck, was my first time at wb track 2... wot can i say the track is very well prepped and sticky

i think i got 12 runs in or something even done 8 runs in a row round n round we go consistent 114mph lol

best time 13.1 @ 114mph

then clutch started slipping the more i wanted 2 launch with hand break :( also gbox nearly impossible 2 shift into 3/4th gears now since my syncro clips have fallen out lol.. ohwell 12s next time wen i got new box/clutch and 35r haha

Hey Col, any idea who that guy is taking a photo of my number plates??? His photos would have been pretty good from the vantage point he had!!!

Yeah I know him, but it will be hard to get them for free... :D

Bloody Commodore bogans... :D

Bogan went quicker than most

what did the "blo job" manaro run?

low 12's all day and night...

Did anyone else take any photos of the day? Was hoping there might be one of me in there somewhere! Bummer!

Ill have a closer look at the CF card and see if I cant find a pic there...

It was all shot in RAW so unfortunatlly no preview, but ill find one just give me an hour...

EDIT: I found one, but its only of the front of your car, I tried to upload it three times but it seems photobucket is broken, will try tomorrow...

Hey Col thanks for putting those up. Those Skylines look porn on the drag strip! By the way you seriously made me laugh with joy when you were smoking the tyres on your SS, such fun!

No worries, yeah I figured I would not be the fastest but I knew I could bake the best rubber cakes... :banana:

Hey guys heres some more photos, was a good day was there with the missus and kid didn't race just watched, my little boy loved it his obsessed with skylines when we are out back of our house he can tell if a skyline drives by and his right about 90% of the time but if its not a skyline its usually another straigt six turbo lol wonder where he gets that from, got a video too but its big about 250mg so not sure how too upload it....

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
