Kurt Wilson is the fastest genuine street car.

After Jambo id say mine will be. (fingers crossed)

this is from official records...not just hearsay

http://www.hpi.com.au/drag_records.php

Mine is registered and regularly see's the highway...id say Kurts and mine would be the only 2 genuine streeters in the top 10. My car runs full glass, all interior trims, carpet, hood lining, door trims, dash etc...except rear seat and side trims.

mark and russ's R32 I'm fairly sure was still rego'd when it ran that time in the HPI chart, and still competed in road events like dutton etc, but I'm pretty sure mark and russ weren't exactly using it to get the shopping. which is my point. it's kind of hard to define what 'street driven' means. I mean most of those cars you could go and register and drive a km or 2 on the street. but I'd say none in the top 10 would be 100% street legal and defect free should an enthusiastic police or EPA officer chose to go over them thoroughly.

this is why most records are just defined by rigid class rules that are not disputable, like tyre type etc.

You should see the looks on the boys faces when i drop my daughter off at school...its gold!

Our car was built around the ANDRA street class rules for Sport Compact cars so id say considering he refered to drag racing times Mark and Russ' car does not comply. So BB there are clear cut rules...you are just not aware of them.

My car requires two simple modifications before street cruising, with these done the car is fully compliant with engineers certification and with the flick of a switch under the dash the 'guilt-toy' special EPA map is activated in the ecu.

  • 2 weeks later...

At the time was an everyday driver: My GF used to drive it.

It was 100% legal in Tassie.

10.6 @ 138mph

Raced as street car. Full weight, exhaust, pump fuel, stereo. Only reason I didn't drive it to the track is it's 280km from home.

Cheers

J.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
