Are you sure that the owners of OBEHVE and Manual ran those times you quoted as I'm pretty sure Mick Stanic was driving OBEHVE when it ran its best time and Rob from CREATD was driving Manual ,I read somewhere that the best time OBEHVE has ran with the owner driving it was a mid 12 but I could be wrong

I'm very very new to the drags my first time was May this year, I'm pretty sure if I had someone more experienced drive my car the times would be a lot better but where's the fun in that

Also I have not compared my car to any of those cars at all, I'd just like to know what size slicks we can use hahahaha

Buster: was just curious at what tyres you were using and what 60ft's you were obtaining. The new track at willowbank is so much better for the first 330ft but like you, when i select 4th i still spin the wheels for that second or so.

In regards to slicks, i know a little bit. Enough knowledge to keep me going.

Im not sure who ran the time in OBHAVE but recently in full st trim it ran a 10.9 in Melb.

The creatd motorsport skyline was also run recently in melb. From what the info i have found its the fastest manual rb25 skyline in aus with the 11.16 @ 126mph. Info can be found at www.fullboost.com.au.

I'll let you know soon what slicks we can fit as i am trying to find this info out my self too.

Yep we do. Radial and non-radial tyres dont work together. They cross in direction and you have no steering capabilities. You can fit front runners (non-radial tyres) to your space saver rim and fit them up front. How ever there is a place up here in QLD that makes the rims for Skylines. I will get the name once my mechanic re-opens. Same black stockies used on NO-JOB @ Jamboree this year.

Harun.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
