OK - where are the results? And please don't tell me they are on a forum that I am not a member of or on Face Tube (of which I am also not a member). How about "they are on the official website" so I can access them?

Congrats to those who won stuff. I was not impressed with the timing gear, which didn't work on more than one of my runs, according to those watching. Overall, a good effort by the Antilag guys at a complex event, with some learning points for next year!

I have sent a message to Antilag via the official website. If I hear anything back, I will let you know.

Cheers.

Thanks, mate.

Having managed to run all Saturday on low boost (just 11 psi!! I blame aging vision and small letters on the Profec Spec B in the glove compartment!), I am quite surprised to finish up 17th in the 1/4 mile drag, with

13.106

1.070

169.27

A week later, at the 1 Day Classic Rally, I did a 12.86 with an indicated speed around 190 km/hr (only hand-held timing and no speed recording) - but I do have that on video! I will load it up when I get some time.

So, finally running high boost on the Sunday (22 psi - much better), I beat one of the R35s in the rolling start 800 metre runs - which is on the Antilag video on YouTube. He later ran a 258 km/hr in the 1000m drag. Unfortunately, the timing gear did not work on my first 1000m run but I had an indicated speed around 265 km/hr - and I did not get the camera system working until the following weekend! I had a crap start on the second run, when the timing system worked, so:

23.092

2.392

232.75

and then I could not stay for another run at the 1000m drags (flight to catch that evening). So, it seems like I need to do it again next year!!

Blame the Americans for that , i dont think they have built anything decent since this :P

That is a gorgeous car! Is that a Barracuda with a hemi? Just like the baddies had in Bullett?

Cheers.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
