Edit: I know it's a lame excuse, but I went from 2nd to 5th in the 12.09 run.. so maybe it has a bit more left in it before I change a few things.

I did the same on one of my runs and ran a 15.1 cause I took it out of 5th and stuffed around trying to get in 3rd...

The car and driver are both FREAKS I tells ya.

Seriously Chris - Farking awesome effort dude :(

...and the best thing is that his car is setup for the track so has nice stiff HKS suspension, so gives me heart that with my softer setup, i may be able to still get ok traction.

So when are you getting on to Eastern or Wakefield, this thing will soon be beating some long held GTST lap records

Rear suspension:

Hicas disconnected

Solid alum bushes

HKS Hyper D on some harsh setting

9kg/mm springs (12 on front)

Putting on the HKS drag shocks for the next meeting, going to change the exhaust housing sometime soon too.

Troy, are there any lap records? I can't drive for crap though, that's the sad thing - you've still got that footage of me "drifting" (aka loosing it coming out of a corner an spearing off into the mud doing a 180' spin). I think there's still pics on the net of me "drifting" in the purple 180SX - doing the same 180 deg spin/ off the drag.

hes only 2.?mph quicker then my time. thats were i was reflecting the difference. not in 1/4mile time. my bad if it came out that way

Fair enough...

I wonder why my car had such a slow terminal speed :D It had the same turbo as Chris, but with a 0.84 exhaust housing :rofl:

Andrew, your T.S. was slower because your car was so neat + tidy. If you take less care with your car, it goes faster.

I think there's half a Sidchrome set floating around in the engine bay, as well as a bag of bolts leftover sitting in the center console that I don't know where they go...

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
