I'm actually off this Wednesday; I might join you!

I've been keen to get back out there, as I only had a dump pipe on mine; nothing else. Hence my 14.9.

It would be interesting to see what difference my mild mods so far have made; it's certainly a different car on the road.

How much is it and what time do they start?

I think gates open around 4:30pm and cost is around $50. You also need a compliant helmet; there is a list.

I just received this on FB from the Sydney Dragway feed;

Hi all, unfortunately we have to cancel tonight's Hi-Tec Oils Race 4 Real ... there is little chance of the weather clearing this afternoon. Please take care on the roads and be safe.

So it looks like we're out of luck for this week.

:angry:

Thanks for the info dale, look forward to catching up next time at the creek, I'm guessing in 2 weeks as next we'd is a public holiday.

Yep, I'll be on for that; working next Wed, so 2 weeks away works well with my roster.

Going to have to push my LPG fed XR8 owning mate to come out too.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm out this week unfortunately; missus is doing stocktake on Wednesday night.

I'm sure my young bloke would like to come with me; but I don't think they'd be too happy about me doing runs with a 3 year old asleep in the back... :whistling:

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
