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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
