Hey guys haven't heard much talk about race wars here, wondering if anyone is going? I was booked to go but had a last minute wedding to shoot so I've been unable to go now :(

It is something like 1 mile drag or top speed trials on a runway, so it might be a little boring to some. Hopefully someone crashes to spice things up :)

Well that was more a joke ya know like break a leg? But hey your replies were certainly just as mature.

Anyway some mates have 2 cars going with room to spare now if someone wants to go cheap.

I am going. I have always wanted to do a top speed run on a runway. Why should Jeremy Clarkson have all the fun! I was frustrated that there were similar events over East but we had nothing here. I even did my own research on likely airstrips in WA. Wyalkatcham has a fairly new runway of 1600m, so it is won't be long enough to top out and still stop safely, but it will be enough to get scary!

So I am grateful to the guys at Antilag for organising this thing - and they seem to have done a very thorough job.

There is also going to be a display of cars in Forrest Chase on Tuesday 2 April 2013, which mine should be in. I have just been informed that there will be an Aventador adn a GT40 there too. So this is much bigger than a few "rice buckets' as our Falcadore friends love to call us!

I hope to have an onboard camera system installed too (HKS DMR), so should be able to post some vid of me yelling as I pass 250 km/hr!

Cheers. :woot:

Not been told anything on pools yet. Waiting to hear. Mind you, I have not been to get the car scrutineered yet, so maybe they will give me that stuff then. Should be happening on Saturday!

That would all be good if I had a login for their forum. Had a quick look, couldn't find it, don't have time to p#ss about. I will see you when I see you, in whatever group I am in! ;)

Cheers Richard, she's sitting proudly in the lounge room :D

Only did one standing start timed run - 247.7 km/h and there was definitely room for improvement, I was (and still am) stoked though.

Did you end up bettering your 253 run?

      No worries.  I have a set of Zeals to get me through for the moment but would definitely be interested in a full set of Bilsteins. Are you doing race support these days? I drove past the Bend when I picked up the 260 rs but never driven the course. How does it compare to SMSP? I'll be at SMSP tomorrow afternoon and on the 26th of June in the morning. I'll be in a very loud (straight through exhaust and straight cut gears) silver R35 GTR. Cheers, Andrew

      Neo Turbo Oil/Water Feed lines

      By laner · Posted

      Hey all. I'm up to doing my oil and water feed lines. Has anyone done a tutorial on this on a 25det Neo? ( I know i should be asking for a tutorial on how to use the search instead, but I couldn't find anything specific) I'm running a Pulsar 3584 on a 6 boost manifold. I could use some advice on what fittings, sizes and where to run the lines. Thanks for any help.

      Hi, I have someone interested, if it falls through I'll let you know.  I have a brand new set of fronts that  I sourced from Bilstein UK, now revalved and complete with springs to go with the very lightly used rears, if you are interested in a full set. As Duncan has mentioned this is not my job, I sold my suspension business over 10 years ago, but I am here to help when I have the time.  To give you some idea of my schedule I was at SMSP for the State Championship for 4 days the weekend before last.  Then The Bend for 4 days last week and back at SMSP testing this week, a day visit to One Raceway, then the SMSP Day Night meeting the weekend after.  I was hoping to squeeze in a dyno day with Scott on my R32 this week, but that's not going to happen, that's the second time I have had to postpone. Apologies if my responses are slow.   Cheers Gary

      Ha ha ha, I read that he had it based on brownie points so knew it wasn't going to be sold   I also am only shit stirring on buying, while they'd all be great cars, I don't need more, I actually sold one a few weeks ago. And immediately bought more tools...
