BAM - in all honest GTAAH was a debarcal.. very dissapointing.

Sorry to disappoint guys. In all honesty We werent going to run it at all, and we left it with the rough-ish tune SST put in it before cabin. We didnt expect the box back in time, it came in late Wednesday Night so we decided to run it. ****en thing was either blowing the spark out something cruel, either that or the Wolf was ****ing up. It'll run the numbers, but I'm not going to risk damaging it to impress the peanut gallery. We're going to pull it down, re-shell it and tolerance everything just so we dont have any problems with it next season.

And before any of you question the driving ability I'm pretty sure the 11.88@119mph out of the 15 on my 3rd ever pass, and about the 10th pass ever in anything, should assure you I can steer a car in a straight line.

u must be pleased with the S15 then, looks so Jap need more of those kinda cars in Perth

[C-Red]

Yeah, Dead Happy I never thought I'd have so much fun driving it in a straight line. Apparently on the last run I pulled an 11.7@120 but Roy has the timesheet so I cant confirm. If I hadnt broken the gate in the first round of elims it would have gone a lot quicker in the cool air.

Big up Paulie for assisting the cabin boys and for putting on a top event, the 'naan was of a high standard too.

Jash - feel for ya dude, been a lot of effort on the R, I'm sure it will come together shortly.

BTW - were you riunning the OS gear set? How did it perform? No problem with shifts at high revs?

[IMACUL8]

Jash

Thanks for the explaination - was expecting big things. 11.7 thats bloody awesome compared to your other times - i didnt stay for the finals so congrats.

Jash - will you be sorting the car out now or is it not a prioriyu at the moment?

[C-Red]

Gav,

I'd be well pissed if we'd prepped it and it ran like it did, but based on the amount of time we'd put in I cant be too upset. In hindsight we would have been better off stripping the 15 and leaving the R in the shed.

OS Box shifts just like a stocker, although I didnt really launch it or hit it hard at decent revs. You've still got all synchros intact so it should operate as normal.

Dan,

Not a priority as the strip season is coming to a close, we were always going to tear it down after Fag Combat and re-shell it. At the sort of power its making its going to get a bottom end rebuild every 5000km if not sooner.

Yeah well stoked with the 15. Next trip down we'll remove everything that isnt necessary - like the 75kg worth of Stereo etc etc and maybe chuck some naws down it and see how much we can improve it by.

Sean top effort and some nice times but do people realise the line runs a 26 , not a 25..

Roys spot on the button launches in the CRed Sil were a sight to behold and Chooklotto ( aka Simon from SST) had the best reaction at 0.01 which is as close to perfect as you get.

Jash , big up ( as you would say) for even bringing GTAAH there.

People have to realise these are BIG dollar toys that take time and money to get right.every body seems to think you just up the boost and run a good clutch and the time is there... Lets hope you sort it and join the rarified atmosphere of the 10sec club.

Ant....

what can I say??

Guy is awesome , dedicated to put on the show , and one of the true nice guys around as well :devfu:

[gtrken]

And for those guys who think I am sucking up :slap:

I applaude the dedication taken and be a competitor in the business or not, a good effort deserves appreciation.

Cheers

Ken,

Ta - You know I'm not going to belt it till I'm happy with it. And yeah well large up to Ant - You're fully tapped dude. Big thanks must also go to Chooklotto's goods for wearing a Macca's serviette as a skirt - Top Work.

Jash

[skyzerr33]

I for one was disappointed with the battle of the GTRs, expected GTAAH and GT51R to run better times but i guess there must be reasons im unaware of

yeh same

dissappointed in GT51R as i thought that beast would b running up against ant in the final

ive seen the power it gets on the dyno so i dunno wat was going wrong with it?

was very impressed with that blue GTR

yer lol at the commentator 'i think that he (13 devil) is trying to say watch out im a hazard'

[rev210]

how about a list of the times the guys and gals ended up with?

Yeah, the commentator definately enjoyed the hazard lights. Kept refering to paul maccas sileighty as a 180sx too :whatsthat

Good day overall, nice to see brett finally run a 13 second pass and that silver pearlescent(sp?) Supra was awesome!! (and I don't like supra's as a rule).

Got member number 26 (26th letter of alphabet = Z)

yeah think everyone knows my story - bit disappointed ..... i went out there to beat my personal best of 14.5 which was done on wednesday night .... car shouldve been well n truely able to beat that ..... but a lot of power was lost at the top end - she just wasnt running smick! Thought it might be the weather ...... waited til night .... ran her again but just couldnt get her into the 14's no matter what i did ..... in fact she was running the same times she did with a broken engine!!

Got into finals by fluke ..... but couldnt run cos the EBC died due to some dodgy wiring.

Got home compared my 14.5 with my 15 sec time sheets and yeah something is definately wron gas the reaction and 60ft times for both timesheets are very close but she just died in the butt after that ...... very sluggish thru the top end. So i guess back to the workshop she goes AGAIN

Thanks to all the people that came n said hi n gave me their support

And yes TJ i did get membership number 069 ..... its all mine :elaugh:

[JUDGED]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks Paully and everyone who turned up. I HAD A BALL. :boobies2: It was a great day and night and a good turn out SUAWA. Thanks to everyone running the tent, GREAT JOB. Got member number 011.

NIZ, I hope you still have a smile, 14.5 for an auto is a bloody good time at least you didnt get chopped by a beat-up S13/RB20 like I did hehehe.

LAGWAGON, What the hell have you do to that car of yours, 12.5 is very impressive, well done.

DRIFTA, MAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTE, after that last run you had, I could tell straight away what you did, could smell the scent of ONE Burnt out CLUTCH dude but some great burnouts. Fun to watch.

To everyone else who did PB's congrats and now that you have the BUG there should be more people there on Wednesday nights. Thanks again to everyone who help and I have missed.

CHEERS

I think it is commendable that C-RED. Hyperdrive, SST and Ovaboost represented some of the import performance scene.

Where was Speedworks, Xspeed, ETC? Im a little unimpressed with the lack off support.

[N I B]

The Blu GTr was real basic mild cams smallish single exhaust and a Wolf ECU but still ran 11.5.Sharons Stockish GTR ran a best of 12.05 and 119.4mph still stock turbos and dumps and shitty air flow meters,and cheap federal tyres.

[Munro]

I enjoyed the day(In fact my whole trip has been excellent) Good to see so many Skylines there. Had fun in the XR6T - but was spewin the GTR wasn't ready to bring(next time for sure) Went for ride in Ant's R32 last night - is one strong car. As for Nathans T51R & Jasons R34, well - thats drag racing. Its very hard when up into the big power levels.Everything has to be perfect.The gtr is only as strong as the weakest link.In Nathans it was the tyres & the slipping twin plate.T51R will be a 10 sec car when sorted.Jason cracked his diff cover.

Overall I had a great time, met heaps of people & destroyed a new set of tyres!

See you guys next time.

[tomj]

John, was a pleasure to meet you

www.antilag.com/videos/munro.mpg a little something for you there

Well and truly look forward to seeing the R next year. By then it should be well and truly sorted and putting down some stunning times

thankyou either way for your support of the event, as you where basically the only Easterner to head over.
