Yeah CAMS making the Tailem Bend drags day in August being 1/8th mile is gayer than aids imho. Why even bother?

CAMS are not sanctioning the event. ANDRA are. and due to safety and insurance reasons is why it has been dropped down to a 1/8th mile.

i think personally all you whinging little princesses need to harden up and support what we have at the moment! dont knock back what you havent tried!

We have Doorslammers and Darren Morgan's Top Fuel Drag Car running 1/8th mile! The Doorslammers even have their own rounds of competitive 1/8th mile meetings! the Boys love it!

BUT HEY

what would i know?

Hey everyone I just wanted to send out a little message in regards to a funeral I attended yesterday. An old best friend of mine who developed serious alcohol/violence issues passed away last week. The last time I spoke to him was when I told him to never speak to me again (because of his violent/anti-social behavior) He was buried at 22 years of age. To my bewilderment, in the 18 months I hadn't spoken to him he developed a drug habit some time after I ended our friendship and subsequently died of an overdose. This is not intended to be a sob story, just an expression that anyone suffering from addiction/s or concerned about an individual, please seek help and support. This also applies those with to mental sickness and in all areas there is more than enough resources to help our loved ones. Pick up a phone, do whatever you can! Yesterday was one of the saddest days of my life. Mainly because by the time I was aware of mason's problem it was too late. Sorry for the gloom and doom but one of us could save a life one day. Always a good thing :)

I am not joking at all. Im even happy just to talk to anyone if they need someone. Other than that enjoy life people! Thanks

Hardest part for any depression in men is having the balls to actually go and talk to someone. Most guys need to know it's not weak to talk to someone about your feelings, especially when it is depression. Usually it's their partners that cop the brunt of their anger.

the reason its 1/8th mile is the rest is potholes and under contruction 25km zone ...lol

I can say this state needs a few tracks, closer to cbd ???, drag, drift, road racing, etc. the economy would benefit more then a footy staduim. autoracing is the largest sport in the world !!! not footy

I felt ashamed to see the qld and perth magazines in the news stand showing hundreds of pages of cruise scene, car racing etc. S'ADALAIDE is boring as bat shite in comparision

1/8th mile is sooooo not worth it.

If I lived at Tailem Bend (thinking of it, houses for sale for 100k) or Murray bridge then yeh Id have a go, but seriously you cant even get into the top end of the engines rev range in 200m in a decent gear (2nd gear limiter smashing does nothing for me).

Why the hell cant Adelaide have a motorsport complex? The laws that be want to get hoon driving off the streets, but where the F* can you go?

Would love to have a complex where you can go out friday nights for 1/4mile 400m drag sessions, and saturday night track sessions.

If the Govt can fund a billion dollar hospital, half billion dollar Adelaide Oval upgrade (the Oval is perfect as-is IMHO), etc. then why the hell not a motorsport complex?

Adelaide manufactures Holden (and used to manufcature Mitsubishi) so I feel its kinda ingrained into our culture here to enjoy motor vehicle "sports"......... but its all too hard for the Govt to support a complex - even tho we stage a V8 race that disrupts the city (traffic & residents) each and every year.

*bangs head against (tyre) wall.

Woohoo my 8pot brembos bolt upto the 6pot dog bones I've already got. Score! Now just to get rear dogbones made and rear alloy hats and that will be brakes sorted.

awesome Luke, must be coming along nicely.

What did you decide for the rears?

Im using Wilwood 4-pots up front with 324mm discs, and Stagea rear setup on the R32 (stagea rear is smaller than R32).

Last trackday was knocking off 2secs faster per lap with semi-slick Pzero tyres (treadwear rating of 80) and 324mm discs up front.... I dont feel that a stripped skyline will require large rear brakes, but awaiting to trial that out myself next SAU:SA track day - thats right, I dibs a spot!!!! (last 2 trackdays only got in 2 - 3 sessions before a) overheated engine, and b) lost ringlands)

is that in dollars Andrew?

Ive been waiting to win the lottery for some time now, is today my lucky day??

I'm sorry but the punishment DOES fit the crime.

We are all the one paying for the D*CKS on the road through the CTP scheme, accident involving speed / racing are higher than ever. The more people that are injured and killed the more YOU and everyone else on here will have to pay for registration on your cars.

I don't care if you agree or disagree, but I have to deal with the people who are injured on a daily basis. So I'm all for making an example and hopefully people will think twice about doing the same and causing an injury or death.

Sorry this isn't correct. Deaths involving street racing would represent <2% of the accidents, and although they are avoidable they in no way deserve the media attention or the money spent by the government that it does when deaths involving inattentive driving would represent 30+% and i have never seen any money spent on combating this issue.

It's just a vote grabber and that is it.

If you start making the penalty not fit the crime that is when you get people running which increases the risk to the general public hugely. What other expiatable offence has a $50,000 fine (in the case of the R34 owner).

Have a read of the NS thread. Video posted of a Ferrari going through the tunnels faster than those Skylines would have been. Got to feel for them though, wonder how the bloke who uploaded it would feel if those two GT-Rs get taken. Easily $100k into those two for sure.

Actually.. might stalk the auctions and pick up a good deal..

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
