Best pass for the car was 12.8. But my reaction time was 0.7sec lol noob. 177kph terminal. So 13.5. I had major troubles hooking it up and had really bad tramping and wheelspin. Never done the 1/4 before. I tried dropping it at 4000.then 3500. Then 3000. And 2500 like traffic lights. Had 34psi in those shit Achilles tyres so nuff said. Lesson learned. Any tips or advice? Apart from new tyres or lower psi learned that the hard way. It only has the tein basic coil overs when I got the car it was on the deck and hooked up ok and left 11's on the road, but i raised it to 100mm all round for the police jockey wheel. through lifting it it has compressed the springs and is hard as all round. I was a bit disappointed with the times but even with a very mild launch it just tramped all the way through 1/2 under not full pedal and hooked up in 3. Bummer. Virginal. I launched it hard on the way home and it just hooked up and went with a tiny bit of tramping perfect. I thought the track would have way more grip than the street but total opposite. Live and learn. Was driving it through the the d/s window a couple of times. It has a full hicas delete but is obvious the tyres are crap with too much psi. Bummer. 4 wins and 1 loss with no Sau sticker. I got torched off the line by nearly everyone but 18psi in 3/4 sorted it. Bit embarrassing but there you have it. No traction at all. I reckon even with 100kg of sand bags in the boot would have been sweet.


If you don't have 4wd you can't just dump it. Gotta be mean to the clutch.

Mickey Thompson et streets if you want to get off the line faster and a pair of rims to stick them on if you can't swap tyres cheap/easily.

If you can soften the rear it will help and or get some subframe bushes from Lachlan if you don't have aftermarket ones to help it squat.

Relatively cheap changes to get you leaving the line better.

Roughly every 0.1s you can reduce the 60 foot you will be 0.2s faster overall. So if your 60 foot is terrible as it sounds like it is, you can gain a lot by sorting that out.

@Hank Scorpio recommended camber arms brands? Thinking of getting Fast&Furious set for the 36 but not sure if the cost of getting it is of any benefit lol

My knees are ruined dude. I had the call from HR where they brought up the fact that it's permanent, and that they are still trying to "figure out" what to do.

We also had a shake-up with management in my store, so... we'll see where that leads.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
