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

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
