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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
