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.

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
