benm - fair enough, but where do you draw the line? if you just want to go to the strip and run as quick as you can, why not buy a cheaper, lighter car, stick a more powerful engine in it, strip it, put it on slicks and keep it strictly for the strip?

in otherwords, where do you draw the line?

Well if you after time slips, then do it. For me i like to know what i do , every day of the week, not 1% of the time.

I draw the line with the fact that I love skylines :(

I used to be like that too but too many cops up here to worry about anything on the street. The more you have available the more likely you are to use it and unfortunately I can't do anything silly for the next 2.5yrs so for me personally it is all about the track (drags/circuit).

I find circuit more fun but drags more challenging.

this is also how i feel....

i think there are 2 seperate groups...

1 group who goes to the strip to see what time they can run

1 group who goes to the strip to see how fast they can go

Cheaterers will all blow there own horn saying but how is it different from this and that but at the end of the day they have ran a quick time which if we leave the street aspect/side of things out of the converstaion is all that matters, it doesn't mean there car is a xx sec street car they know it and so does everyone else that knows they are using 2 power adders 1 of them being illegel on the street

It all comes down to if your a drag racer and want quick times no holds bared or if your the every day Joe blow who wants to see what there car can run in street trim, neither way is wrong or right they are just different

i could watch two ride ons drag race if they were quick enough.....especially if they were on the bottle

So using NOS is the equivalent to city driving :idea:  

 

then there should be no problem using it on the track as one canceles out the other

there are rules for the road and rules for the class you race in .it does not get any more complicated than that.if you want to drive a illegal car on the raod then go right ahead,thats what the police are there for ,not opininated dcikheads on forums.the same goes with the track if you want to compete in a class of racing you do so via the rules ,thats andras role to police.if the rules state two power adders then use them or fall behind or shut up whinging.if you want the rules changed then jason ohalloran is the man to voice your opinions to

benm - i'd probably agree with you there as well :(  = addiction

but for now i'm still on the "what time they can run" :cheers:

I go there to beat my pb every single run. Out of around 30 runs i've only beaten my pb 2x (by about 0.0x sec) and the others have all been within 0.2sec or just complete flops (0.5-1.0sec). I could prolly find about 5 excuses as to why im not getting quicker and quicker but im sick of excuses.

Due to work im not sure when i'll be able to get back to the strip, hopefully i'll have the car (engine) tidied up a little bit more so that it is running consistent enough for me to lay some decent times. My goal is still a 12.99sec or better by 30/12/04 which will either take money and/or just more experience/practice.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
