Burnouts at drags

[rbcrazy]

What did everyone think of the efforts at the final drag meet for 2004 the other weekend? That little 4wd that nearly rolled spun me out!!! Was a bit disapointed with the skyline though. Started awsome, heaps off smoke, got into 4th I think by the sound of it, then spun and that was it. Anybody know what happned to it?

Was for sale. Sounds like its got the goods. If it the one in the trading post in Hobart it would want to go for the price!!!!

i think he was talkin $28K is that right? he is from launceston.

apparently it just lost drive, wether it was a diff or gearbox dunno.

its not that great a car, only runs 13s. its got fully rebuilt rb25 with forged internals, custom plenum, top mount T04 external wastegate. sounds like a truck. i like the veilside rims

[rbcrazy]

Yeah 28k sounds like the price. Spent 25k on it apparlenty. Did it really only manage 13's? Thats piss poor for somthing with all that gear on it. I got there after the tea break so didnt see it run.

[PHaT MR30]

he is a bit of a nob shiner to about it, he told us we could take it for $24K there and then!

[rbcrazy]

Mmmm Im guessing you laughed in his face. Wouldnt matter if he spent 50 big ones on that thing, its not worth that much money.

[PHaT MR30]

well seeing as the blue r31 wagon runs low 13s with a stock rb20!

[Young GT-R]

not a bad effort. My R32 would have only run high 13's with a few mods!!!

[rbcrazy]

Good engine the old rb20's. I put one in a vl and was very happy with it. Never did get around to changing the diff ratio. Otherwise it was the same as another skyline that belonged to a good mate Mick from Speedy Tyres in launceston. His old red beast ran a best of 13.3 with truck front mount, 3 inch exaust and 14psi.

Now if only I could cram one in somthing lighter.

[PHaT MR30]

have you seen micks new car?

[rbcrazy]

Yep. Been out driftin in it allready. Goes really well, but will go even better soon. Should get into the hi to mid 12's. Will be suprised if it dosent. Its nothin special to look at but looks wernt hi on his list. Its go some good gear in it. Hes lookin for some coil overs at the moment. Drop in and see him if you know anybody or let me know through this forum.

Thanks

Matt

yeh he took me for a run in it the other night, damn speed cut!

yeh i was talkin to him about the coilovers the other night, dunno if i swayed him or scared him!

yeh should do 12s when he has it sorted, pulled 160 rwkw's at reid racing last thursday, on 12psi pretty good considering still has factory ecu!

[Wogboy]

What is it?

[phat_r33]

s13 dude. not bad either, pretty neat.

[phat_r33]

s13 mate. Pretty neat too.

[PHaT MR30]

its gonna be a serious car, not a show pony... using it for drift and circuit racing, or to that effect

[rbcrazy]

Drift will be high on the agenda. Dont expect he will do much to it body wise. Its cost him enough so far, but will all be worth it when she's smokin her up at the track.

Any of you guys going out to Simmoyns Plains next month. The 15th I think. Should be fun!!!!

[PHaT MR30]

yeh mate 16th may there is gonna be heaps of cars out there
