All them Jap cars are running full drag slicks and are far from street registered, still impressive for the time period back in the day. Fair bit of difference between say 17" Mickey T Et streets and 15" Hoosier Drag Slicks

No doubt!

I was just mentioning it so people didn't make wild claims and look silly :)

Your car is massively impressive!!!

Awesome effort on breaking the 9 sec barrier!

It looks like you did it a hell of a lot easier than the guys in that old Jap footage... Even with the help of slicks a couple of them were fighting the car the whole way down the track. By comparison your pass almost looks boring - so it shows how much better your suspension and aero setup must be.

Maximum traction on take off, u can actually see the tyre marks u have left like a mini tramp...is that expected with your power level?

Also, why did u decide to stick with the 2.6ltr capacity?

It's a JUN 2.7 mofo :D

Hi mate, we have a JUN 2.7L stroker but swapped the oversized pistons for a brand new set of standard bore size CP pistons, its still retains 2.6L, and why 2.6???? because they rev hard and for some reason everyone thinks more Capasity is better. But not for what we want to do. 3+Litres are just slow reving and sound like shit.

I agree with u 100% that the 3ltr is slower revving and don't sound anywhere near to that of a 2.6 - I can make this statement as I've had both...2.6 all the way :)

Amazing Ben! Will watch videos when i get home for some more ear porn oooh yeah :D

Sucks about the gearbox, tends to happen though when going as hard as you are.

What is the next event you are aiming for?

They probably were...it's been a while :)

Definitely fastest/quickest H-pattern street GTR either way.

Looks like there is plenty left in, too.

Ah the old term "street". :laugh:

    • 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.
