Hi guys, does anyone have some numbers from yesterday's meeting? I know GTR-700 ran a 8.44(?) on E/T slicks, were there any other Skyline or notable times?

What was your general impression of the event? After getting there at 2:30pm I only had a few hours before I had to leave. Was pretty p'd off that they had a 2 hour break from 3-5pm...

2rismo went from a 13.471 -> 13.041sec with the help of some naws :wassup:

The event as a whole I thought was extremely disappointing and certainly not worth $30 considering that the week before (Summer Nationals) I paid an extra $5 and seen an -entire- day of real professional drag cars.

I won't be going back for the 4th and final round thats for sure, i'll stick to the Wed nite street meets for half the price for my drag racing entertainment.

Benny and I caught up at the end of the night and had a bit of a bitch/review of the situation.

With the $30 entry fee they gave you a free magazine, which was a good idea as the were massive delays and the magazine was read cover to cover. I got there at about 5 and there was not a single run to at least 6.15. As ben said the street meets were run alot better.

But bear in mind fellas that this was there first shot at it at the new strip and in sydney so like the shows they will hopefully get better. I remember going to the first Autosalon (showing my age) at the horden pav and it was shit but now look at the series, its international. Even though the cars aren't always my cup of tea the shows are entertaining.

oh yeah 2rismo i caught a couple of your runs, very impressive mate.

Thanks for the comments guys... The event definitely could of been run a lot better...

YRL05S, if you got there late you wouldve seen the 13.0 and 13.1. Will be much better in the near with tyres that arent as hard as rocks!#@$#@$!#$

115mph should be more like 12.0 - 12.5 not 13.0 !!!

"DRAGTS" - Dude, I would seriously consider getting the Power FC tuned before anything else. But cheap tyres? I am ALWAYS Listening when someone says that.

I want BF Comp TA's!!!!! NOW NOW NOW!!!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
