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!!!

    • 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
