Yes....it's on the disclaimer but's that's technically incorrect as my convertible still has a roll hoop and is street legal.

I was bitterly disappointed with my first few runs so I did not care and just rolled up to the strip with my hood down :D

I thought they might send me off again but they did not

heheheh that was funny!!!

Hahah yeah was funny hey 9krpm! Just crooozin down the strip :D It would be a real hassle if they say next time u have to get a roll bar...

Btw all those videos that Nightcrawler have up show me getting really blitzed off the line. Argh embarrasing =( Ptty none of my good runs were against him!

Matt's 540s are still wicked - I have actually bought them off him now :D .... I wanna hold on to them for special nights out :(

I actually did 7 runs on my normal street tyres and only 4 on the RE540s. Cos the track was so damn slippery it was really hard to do a good looking smoking burnout, and it didn't do much to the tyres (which is kind of an upside I suppose). At least I got a few good comments from the commentators about my burnouts. I was spewing that every time I ran a clapped-out celica or the supercharged Monaro, they would rave about the other cars and say crap all about me. I got close to the time of 12.375 required to get into the Australian top 10 fastest rwd cars under 2.4litres and they never once complimented me on my times :( *sniffle*

Wicked, wicked!

Glad those 540s are now yours, will make chasing those last couple of tenths that little bit easier! Was surprised at how little damage all your tyre smoking action did to both sets of tyres really.

9krpm, your "topless" run was a great laugh, they commented on it over the PA, but with your stereo pumpin you probably couldn't hear it!

Also, there's nothing wrong with the guys out there doing 17s - they pay the money, and help to make such events plausible, which is good for all.

I was standing with BOOSTD about two feet from your car but there were so many people milling around changing tyres etc, I didn't know which one was you! LOL :(

Sowwy 9krpm... :D Nothing wrong with running 17s! My car probably wouldn't do much better! LOL The falcon just looked funny running against all of the imports - not what I expected to see! :(

even if i was to bring my EL Futura id still pull 16 sec passes (the g-tec says 15.9 but i hered there a bit out). i dont blame him for having a few cones, anything to get out of the commonwhore world hes currently in now.

as it is i dont even know my power output in my skyline. the mods i have one to it aint to bad:-

3.5 cat back. probably front pipe soon aswell. :D

Hybrid Monster Front mount

boost controller set to 9psi

tripple plat button clutch

im one to ask a lot of questions as im still new to owning a skyline. so if i was to turn up next time dont be affraid to tell me to **** off if you get anoyed. lol

Glossory

Commonwhore - A whore is someone who gets thrashed. commodores are the most common car work the rest out for your self. lol

hey chops, what did they say?

They just said that this time you were running with the top down, and that surely that would be a disadvantage aerodynamically or something like that.

It certainly wasn't them saying "hey, he can't do that!"

Anyway, to be honest, I was quite disappointed with the commentators' lack of knowledge about a VARIETY of cars - I shit you not I heard one guy ask the other if it was called an S2000 cos it was brought out in the year 2000!!!

I also heard them commenting on the "304 Walkinshaw" when the only V8s allowed were LS1's and although it had a Walkinshaw kit, you could CLEARLY hear the turbo.

Anywho, enough bitching, it was a blast.

lol lol

TIMMMAYYY: gota love the replys you get on these forums. lol

i dont have anything against the commodore its self. it just theres to many of them.......what i need is a 4WD with a big bumper to clean them up. :D the only reason i bought a ford as to be differant. both cars are pretty good.

TIMMMAYYY: you wouldn't happen to be a commodore owner would ya . :(

do it girl! you would get at least 15s depending on whether your car is standard. I say get out there and do it! I took my pulsar in the 4 6 and rotor nationals and got a 15.0 sec run! not bad for a n/a and people may laugh but at least i got out there and did it! I say do it!:D

Of course I bag it out - who doesn't want 500rwkw!!??!! :D

I know its a good car, but after driving yours last night BOOSTD, I'm pretty embarassed at the pathetic amount of power mine has!! LOL

Mel, we should represent the girls of SAU next time!! LOL If I ever get the guts to go out there!!! :(

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
