Calder was pretty crap last night, got there at like 7 and only got 2 runs until 12.. (with a small dinner break).. around 300 cars there. First run was complete shait, left it in full auto performance mode with traction control off and span 1st 2nd 3rd off the line drifting next to the wall with a 2.7 60ft just let off.. 2nd run was a bit better 13.2 but hit limiter in 1st to 2nd which would of cost me that 12.

Until next time! will definitely be heathcote though. Less cars ftw. Probably enter in that tri battle thing - Ash you going??

Also met Grant down there in his R with a slipping clutch from looks of things :P

Not bad straight out the box!

Yeah pretty quick for stock I guess, I know it has 12 potential but just need more than 2 runs in my GTR I had like 10-12 runs and the last run was the quickest pretty much gained .3-.4 sec over the day. Probably should of taken some air out of the 19s and got rid of spare tyre but cbfed also had like halfa tank of fuel. Really want to get into the 12s at the SAU tri battle now :D

lol yeah that's fair quick for a standard car. Should get a sticker that says "bought not built" :D

Haha, the car would probably get keyed by a holden driver. I must admit its good not worrying about cops. I even did a few laps of prinny last night with racing numbers all over the car and burnt rubber on the rear guards.

Still not happy on the fact that fancy ford with warranty and reversing camera is faster than the mighty mythical japanese creature... tongue.gif

Time to whack Nismo Coppermix twin and milk some more power out of this thing. Smelt some burning on way home but no slippage, should be fine if I simply potter around the town.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
