question guys. i want to go to calder on the novem 6th drags to watch, will it be risky driving up in my skyline, will cops dik me?

probaly the same 'risk' as driving any other time but you bought it to drive it so worry about it when they pull ya up? :)

Well, do i have to fill out any form and reserve a place or can i just rock up there and pay and Drag!!

Simon, u could come with me but im from the NE..

U gotta be there about 5pm. Gotta get your car check and all that. Give me a buzz.

nah man you wont be too late. if you are running your car though u might. its gonna be packed as it is the first time since like feb calders been open for fri night drags. you will be lucky to get 2 runs i reckon.

I went, it was packed. 300 cars racing. We had to line up in the emergency lane of the freeway for about 20 mins. I only got one run in, a few mates got 2-3 runs. I ran a 14.4@103.

There was a few skylines there, white 32gtr with FULFLT plates, white 33 with WYTJET plates (i got your run on video if you want a copy). Few others.

muscle cars dominated the scene

but im a bit disappointed about the jap cars

i saw a maroon skyline 33 with no front bar, i was expecting a a good run...it was accelerating but didnt go anywhere at all???

must be the turbo curse

$65 bucks and one run? sounds worth it.........

did you get there early? i remember if you got there at 530 or something youd 'get 7-8 runs in before the line got huge and you'd be waiting 30-45mins for your last few..

The line was out on the highway from about 4.30pm onwards. we got there early as and still had to wait ages to get a run in. my mate got a total of 3 runs for the whole night. jessie can you send me the video of [wytjet] that was my mate. which run did u get though? his first or second one?

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
