I don't know how your tracks work in au?

But I have to let off at 1/8th in order to keep running.

So I determine my runs by the 60 footer.

Which I have nailed a 1.8 sec

Pwr in the 0.26 which my friend in he's gsx 600 has that

Which is basically the same as the Citroen xsara wrc Rally race car only with better launch capabilities.

it sure rocks my internal organs lol

Not a fan anymore of drag racing

Now I'm NASA and looking forward for some touge runs.

Not mentioning drag racing is kind of dead here.

Imports that is????

1.8 on drag radials? Should be lower than that!!!

I was putting down 1.9-2.0 60fts with 220rwkw and average 225 street tyres... Probably had a tread-wear of 250-300.

And around 2.0-2.2 60fts with over 300rwkw

Practice makes perfect!

I wish my Skyline was a calais turbo, it would be worth more, I predict they will rise in price even more whereas my skyline is deprecating like a lead ballon.

I've even been looking for a clean cheap one to do up.

Some one sell me one, cash, I doesn't even need a motor.

^_~ at Skyline owners who want to turn sports cars into drag cars (apart from R33 GTS-T owners as they are the new Calais Turbo)

10 second cars generally need overnight parts from Japan

Yet you go on R35 forums and everyone is willy waving and patting themselves on the back for the impressive stock 1/4 mile times of the car they just bought.

At least most GTST owners know the business end of a spanner.

Hell we even have to change gears the old fashioned way!

F1 will go back to manual gearboxes soon. Mark my words.

It's the only way to be for people who actually appreciate driving and CAN drive.

If you watch that video of senna taking the NSX around Suzuka you will understand.

You just can't exercise that sort of flair and craft in an auto car.

It's too easy.

Not a chance, the time lost during shifts would win or lose a race, I'll bet you a beer, and I take beer bets very seriously.

I think he isn't arguing the fact that the auto box is faster, but more the thrill and the more hands on work of driving a manual car over an auto. I get sick of manual when driving through traffic, but I get bored shitless when I am driving an auto through fun roads. When you are shifting gears, holding your wheel and controlling your feet, you feel like you are in full control rather than just planting your foot and looking straight.

It's just unlikely F1 teams will de-engineer a car to go slower, I like driving manuals to but then I'm not racing for sheep stations in a billion dollar environment.

Back on topicish, autos are good for the drags.

And I'm loving this thread, its got everything.

<br />Lol<br />My bad <br />Sure didn't sound right tho...<br />That was with falken tires.<br />I will see if I can find my old slips.<br />Here is my car before the NASA upgrades<br /><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii208/humlebee/9e325454.jpg" /><br />

Nice structural radiator you have there.

Fluidyne radiator, ps cooler, oil cooler

They do great stuff

Car runs at 160 to 168 degrees all the time.aero work diff cooler turbo intake and suspension.

Lots and lots of things I most change

Easy way is to replace those old rear cross member bushing in favor of solid aluminum bushings.

Both cross member and diff.

A 1.5 LSD and a engine torque damper.

Sprung type clutches if you care about your stock tranny.

There is lots of things you can do to improve your 60 footer

Such as one piece drive shaft etc...

Mazworx has spend yrs on Silvia's so he was my guide.

I had also a spare set of rear wheels.

All I had to do is swap rims.

The art of torque and successfully transferring torque to the ground.

We're go big or go home is law

We're alcohol and nos is the two hands of god

Displacement and flow is your only bible

Antilag and gear ratios is you mom and dad

That was my mentality.

I could never get my leg to stop shaking like a wet dog tho........

I guess all my adrenaline goes to my right leg , when I was drag racing.

Can't say I hated it.

The only way it stopped was flooring down the gas pedal like if I wanted to pierce the front fire wall lol

It hade a mind of its own I guess... ;)

It's just unlikely F1 teams will de-engineer a car to go slower,

You mean like how traction control was removed, engine sizes made smaller and rev limits reduced?

De-engineering comes from F1 rules not what the teams want. They would be driving computer controlled V8 turbos with continuously variable transmissions if they had free reign.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
