edit: thanks to Erin for looking after the little'n while dad had a much needed smoke :)

OMG he's soo cute!

He's got gorgeous blue eyes and the chubbiest cheeks. Car keys are an amazing thing for babies, jingle them and they are entertained for hours!

He's a hoon in the making if ever I saw one, hears a burnout, looks around with his big blue eyes, turns back to us and has a huge grin on his face! Soo cute!

... No I'm not getting clucky.

yeah after Jay made it quite clear if I broke it, I would have purchased a broken GTR, I was just not really game to push it much, looked like a turdburger launching it at 4.5to5k rpm, meh got a 13.9, my best run ever in any car.

Best I ran in the //CS beast was 14.1, ironically my first run, ran constant 14.3 to 14.5's, even teh master Jay could only muster a measly 14.8.

Meh Good night! :)

Tehe, yeah we think he's pretty cute too :( Not that we would be biased or anything :)

Andrew...you had better sleep in the spare room for a few days :rofl:

Was a good night, I couldn't afford to run but still enjoyed being there. Plenty of Skylines with big flameage is good, and there were also a few RB Salivas out there too.

The best run of the night was the drag bike though, with a 7.7@165mph :)

wtf posses someone to jump on a 7 sec motor bike! tho that things launch was amazing... 3 gear changes before the front wheel got back on the ground!

will upload pics tonite... tho most are underexposed :)

On the plus side I didn't loose a race...

Just for SAU QLD people:

Who got the fastest ET of the evening?

Who got the best MPH of the evening?

Who got the best 60ft of the evening?

Who got the best reaction time of the evening?

How harsh was that VB Commy that died on the start line? Second last run of the whole night and it had to be towed home. We know this because Cyrus and I passed it on the Ipswich Motorway at about Riverview being towed with about 3 metres of snatch strap, and 5 people in the Commodore... :uhh:

Pfft, wheelie bars are for wimps :P 7 sec would be a blast!! Just holding onto the bars would be near-on impossible.

The bone stock CBR1000RR than ran 10.55@135mph was impressive, lifted the wheel a good foot off the ground at the top of first and part of second, fairly impressive considering when you're at the drags you try to keep it pretty much on the ground. Changing into third at 180-odd km/h then feeling the front wheel come down is... exciting ;)

VL's are ghey out of the tolls.

RVR's wanting to STOP in the middle of the motorway to test how fast his car is are idiots.

o..... k......

Damn!!! My first drag event! Was a bit nervous on the first run (so nervous I left the air-con on!!) Cyrrus was certain I would beat him, but there was little chance with a 2.5 reaction time and an et of 15.046!!

Second run was little better with the car spinning until the 330ft mark!! (18.660!!) Got a lot better after some advice from a workmate who just happens to do security at the track. No burnout and take off at the last orange! 14.7 et.

Best of my night was a 14.6 et. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be doing it again.

I smell like tyre smoke from my hair :D

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
