I headed down to AIR tonight (06Dec) to lend a hand to Shaun, Ben & co as they were running the 'Boost Worx' backed yellow 2JZGTE powered Supra (ex-RPM car).

Ben ran a string of low 11's @ over 127mph before finally getting the car to run closer to its potential with a PB of 10.8 @ 125+. The mph was down on the earlier passes as an IC hose blew off going into 3rd gear. The car should run closer to 10.4 with a few more tweaks.

All passes were on ET Streets (DOT approved) I'm not sure if they qualify for the HPI Street Drag Challenge or not?

I'm sure most will agree that the 2JZGTE is an awesome engine. Ben's Supra runs a dead stock internals 2JZ.

Another car worth mentioning was the factory standard new 3.5L V6 Magna (base model) whose female driver ran back to back 14.8 - 14.7 mid 90mph passes (best of 14.7 @ 96mph). The only mod was a slight change to the air box feed.

Yeah mate sure have!

I remember reading articles on the MKIV JZA80 Supra when it was first released in Japan. It was my #1 choice when I got interested in imports back in the early-mid 90's. They were a touch too expensive back then though :) Hence I got the Skyline instead. I've gone too far with the GTS to start again now :)

Hip,

Brand new ET Streets & a good suspension aligning session made a huge improvement on the strip.

ET Streets are a drag radial tyre made by Mickey Thompson. They're DOT approved which technically makes them street legal.

"There's a simple way of identifying whether or not a tyre is legal for road use. If it has "DOT" or "E" written on the sidewall, it's passable - no probs. DOT is the US abbreviation for the Department of Transport, while "E" is the recognised European compliance symbol. Having said that, it wouldn't be unthinkable to get pulled over by the police for supposedly "bald tyres" - regardless of their technical legality."

The car is with Boost Worx now as the mechanic linked with the car moved from RPM to set up his own workshop. So the car moved with him.

Tim,

I'd say traction would've been a huge factor in who hosed who on the street! Neither cars have/had a lot of traction on road rubber. Ben mentioned turning the tyres @ 180+ on the road.

      What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter

      I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!

      Well that is not a sign of good quality..  Understand, but not so nice to drive on the street I suppose and out of my price range..

      Looking for a mechanic for my build

      By rb finatic · Posted

      I recently got myself a 1989 r32 GT-R and it has some slight smokiness from the exhaust and misfires sometimes when coming off the throttle. I'm looking for a good mechanic in the Brisbane region who will do a good job on it. It'll need a diagnosis, and most likely an engine rebuild with refurb/stock parts (not looking for a motorsport build... yet). If anyone has done something like this before/knows stuff about this in terms of who can do it and how much it cost, I'd like to hear about it. I was looking on the forum and I found some posts from 2020 that were similar to this, but it has been a while since then so if anyone has any updated info that would be great.  I'm also new to the forum so if this topic should be in a different place please let me know. Thanks in advance!
