my best 60' was 1.55s & 129.75mph

i was also running drag radials which made my 60' :(

tyres were compliments of paul & his mates dog (dave) was eyeing out my nads when i returned them lol

i still blame paul for not cracking a high 10 - he told me to hold in 3rd gear across the line...i was on the limiter for almost 1 sec on my good run (paul u baaaad)

steve - what back2back tests u doing with yavus, stock v's match ported manifolds?

did u end up going bigger with your exhaust system as well?

Nah no that sort of thing, Pauls referring to his car vs mine as we have a lot of the same parts

Yep the exhaust is going to be a massive step up from the crappy peashooter on there now. I'll get pics up asap for you guys. The best bit? It's specific to rb30 gtr's so no spacers needed :(

and so are uncovered air filters, wheels that are larger than 17inch diameter on an r32 etc etc etc

Check the wheel rules mate, unless they've changed lately you can go bigger than 17's on R32 (vspec2 had 17x9's stock). From memory the rule is 2" up and 1" wider than stock fitment

The uncovered filter rule is pointless with EFI cars. Keep up the good work RTA.

Im in for a joint booting from WSID. We can go one after the other in one lane just to make a joke about it. Do you think they'd kick us for slamming the brakes before the finish line?

You could do things a few ways to avoid being booted:

Firstly, you could launch full-steam and back off after half track so that you don't go under 11's. This will give you a decent 60' time and also half-track time and MPH.

Secondly, you could break the beam on the green by creeping forward to trip the start timer...then launch the car and go as hard as you like. This will add to the ET but will give you the correct MPH.

You could then get an estimate of the car's potential by adding the best of both types of runs to see what the car is capable of.

Thirdly, go out for the final run and do a full pass and get booted :D

Then you could go back a couple of months later with different plates and do it all again >_<:D:D

Ideally, you could do this at a private day such as this one:

and get PLENTY of practice runs in before doing a full pass at the end of the day (or when you get bored) and get the boot >_<

Lol, endurance racing much? That's a shitload of fuel

Or just enough to get you to the shops and back on E85... >_<

Also the wheel rules are so farking weird.

Secondly, the surge tank in boot isn't illegal if it is covered and vented properly. (It really should be setup on a charcoal canister like the tank).

This is the same for the battery, if you don't have a sealed battery it is meant to be enclosed and vented outside of the car (For R33s etc)

Yeah smart move. The 1000's just wont do the job

Why are your drags closing? Is there a racetrack where the straight can be used instead? Eastern Creek used to do that up here. Anyway, you get Targa roads, thats more than enough :)

Tarmak has been having trouble for ages. Now they cant form a commitee and doesnt seem like they have the money to keep it running. The track needs lots of attention and last time I raced, after finishing the 1/4 the run off turned to shit and there was pot holes and weeds growing everywhere.

There are 2 tracks in Tassie, Symmons Plains up north and Baskerville down south. But dont think the straight would be long enough.

Hahaha yeah...with e85 on the cards she will chew a bit...somthing along the lines of 90-100L an hour at full noise

i think the bugatti veyron goes thru a full tank of fuel in something like 9min @ full revs on the autobarn :)

    • I sense an out of control build thread coming up lololol. That 450kW goal will end up being 600 to 700kW LOL.
    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back.
