(from memory)

11.7xx on his 1st run (128mph, 1.9x 60ft)

11.8xx on his 2nd run (nice and clean run)

12.1xx on his 3rd run (looked like he bogged down alittle in 1st gear)

2rismo did a

unsure about the first

13.4xx on his 2nd run

13.5xx on his 3rd run

That 11.7xx is quite easily going to be broken in the next month or 3 too. The 11.7xx was done with 0% rubber on the track so after afew Top Fuel dragster meetings grip will be quite abit better. The staging area looked quite slippery from the grandstand. Most cars were kicking sideways when launching.

I'm sure Buster will have a new thread waiting for us in the morning.

Yeah, you wimps! It rained for about 30 mins at 4:30, then they dried the track out and it was all on! I had four runs, the last of which was against a HSV GTS 300, which I slaughtered :headshot: ! Saw Buster and 2rismo get in some good runs. Was a great, history making night :D

Was that the stock looking black GTiR ? If so... damn it was doing good 60ft's, certainly noticable from the Grandstand :D

Yep. That was me (only GTI-R there). It was funny, the anouncer goes: "Here's Richard with his Nissan GTR" then sounded really confused whilst looking at a little black hatchback whre the "GTR" was supposed to be :Oops:

Glad you like the launchs, I'm just happy my clutch and gearbox held up :D

I was in the servo afterwoods, you were parked on the servo forecort and the servo chick was having a heart attack cause you had no plates on the front (she thought you were going to fill up and bail). Thanks to her (and you) I realised I didn't have any plates on mine - may not have been a fun trip home without 'em. :thumbdwn:

ROFL!!!

The guy came out and looked at the plate at the back and gave me big attitude. When I asked what he thought he was doing, he asked why i didnt have a front plate on then it all clicked into place.

We had a great chat about cars in general for a while till i said, "mate I have to drive back to Wollongong, i gotta go or i'll be having micro-sleeps for dinner".

lol

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
