yeh butthurt a lot of people from a 80km/h roll on, usually let them have first throttle push :D

to put it in perspective my brothers gtst had 255rwkw did a 12.9 i had 253rwkw did a 12.7 with roughly same mph dat torque and gearbox, also I'm willing to bet i'll get over 400rwkw on the Chasers dyno in a few weeks at a dyno day I'm attending seeings as I got 290 standard on it last time loool

my brothers now 340rwkw (on trents hub dyno at least..) car still cant pull on me, dat dere turbo lag vs supercharger

that 12.7 is more launch related. what was your MPH?

for reference i did 12.9 @ 119mph

/dat stiff coilovers

still my launch was only a 1.9 60ft think my brothers was 2.0 60ft. mph not too sure cant remember 110-115? turbo falcons get higher mph due to power delivery being midrange, my power curve is purely straight up so more revs = more power

these cars have done 10s without a intercooler :D, best tune only one i've seen is 11.3 with slicks

the GT500s in america are even more ridiculous, make like 440rwkw from factory

Less power and narrower band, why would you expect him to pull away? Still a good effort against your car I reckon

Gotta get me some e85

At ~250rwkw Leigh had 1.5 car lengths on me in a rolling. I'm confident I could keep up with him once I E85.

Where Leigh's car is faster than a Skyline of similar power/weight, is making that power much earlier in the rev range. Auto gearing helps too, depending on speed you drag at.

usually i'm still pretty far ahead especially at lower speeds, dat auto gearbox his car pretty quick when its running properly, unfortunately not very reliable these days lol

True, still I need to rev mine out next time :P our gear ratios would be heaps different - agree though responsive skylines are better

quickest car i raced was a done up f6 i reckon, we were flying for ages haha

that 2.7l rb25 wolf3d white r33 would take me easy, hit a 10 on last years drag day

Was it him who kept busting fuel pumps? I'm worried about blowing something up if I convert, about to tick over "150, 000kms" lol

Yep, that, turbo gaskets, intake manifold gaskets and few other things, split his intercooler pipe somewhere too i think at some stage lol

not to mention it leaks oil like a bitch now too

I know its a few pages back

But how is his surname actually spelt,

Pettite

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
