Hey Wreckedhead? was that you at EC last night? white 32? plates J**T?

if so!! congrats on the run!!! looked friggin awesome!! one of the guys captured your run as well! hehe... i could see you were extremely happy when you drove back to the lineup and met up with your mate!!!

congrats again!

we were all jumping for joy, doesnt bother me who was driving, the car ran a good pass, and untill i get it caged i cant go back, hopefully in a couple of weeks ill sort it out and head back for some more runs

The quicker your car runs, the more "safety" objects the car needs. Hence the cage for sub 11's, parachute for 140+mph etc.

LOL!!!! no kiddin! : i know the purpose of a rollcage.. and a parachute for that matter! he was implying he wouldn't take his car down the straight till it had a rollcage, but i just was wondering why it was then ok for his mechanic to drive and not him!

Heh sorry for the confused reply, I guess if you don't own the car you're not going to treat it with mechanical sympathy.

The majority of drag strips in Aus operate under ANDRA, and their rules stipulate the safety devices for cars running certain times. If they know your car does xyz time and it doesn't have the gear on it, they won't let you run.

hey Moanie i didnt have a choice, after my mechanic run the 10 sec pass, my car was banned from the track till i get a roll cage, i wanted to race it but couldnt.

and Doughboy you completely right, when i sit in my car and im on the line waiting to launch, all im thinking about is "what happends if the clutch blows or the diff pops or gearbox breaks, then im ****ed so i treat it with a little sympathy" but my machanic has no such feelings and slams everygear like mother****er not loosing any boost in gears.

but ill get my chance in a couple of weeks to run my 10 if im a good enough driver, its just a shame i didnt get to run the car with the gas.

    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
