There are ways around this... you could break the beam (and start the timers) then take off and see what MPH you can get. This can indicate your potential ET on a perfect run. Or you could take off easy and then plant it - again, to see what MPH is acheived on the run, and hence what potential ET the car is capable of.

Alternatively, you could take off hard and then either back off or brake before the finish line. Couple the first half track passes with the MPH acheived on the other runs and you can work out the opotimal run ET and TS. Then, go hard at the end of the day and get your 10second timeslip and get booted :D

That must have been quite a while ago and WSID's private days were much different back then. Now they have two types, ones like this SAU:NSW one (ie 11.00+ cars), and the private track hire days for ANDRA-teched cars (a handful of cars only).

Is there truth to the rumor that if it's blatantly obvious by your 60" foot that you're holding off that you can get booted by that time even if you don't run a 10?

The rule book does allow it, but it only gets used if you are being an idiot or a c*nt towards the officials etc.

just looked through the ANDRA rule book and can't see anything about 60" but there is a time limit of 7secs for the 1/8th mile

I was just reading in the previous event (2007) where several cars ran within 5 or 7 hundreths of breaking into 10's and was fine. So sounds like it isn't a "fuzzy" rule, but I guess one of the guys that is closer to the rules could answer definitively.

List is all updated to date.. Come on everyone, you wanted it and said u would come and now you have all dropped off..

Tell your friends and get entered because if you dont do it now it may never come back!

There is nothing about a short time to get you booted, just ET or trap speed.

You can also be booted if you are running quicker than 12.50 and have slicks without front runners. I did this in testing and sandbagged at half track .. and got booted.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
