Yeah pauly, seriously, just go down, have some fun mate. Go there with an open mind, relax, try different things, and above all, have fun. No one expects you to be a pro on your first run... The whole point is going there to learn how to do it in a safe, controlled environment. I'm thinking of heading down this wednesday too. I'd be happy to run against you, considering I'm new to it too...

Really man, you got nothing to worry about. Don't listen to that Rousey/383chevy dude. The skyline/holden/ford ratio is pretty much 50/50. You'll see a LOT of Iron Masks down there...

And one blue focus. :(

Holden Engineering design team

"We're getting creams by these ***in jap cars! they're better engineered, better build, cheaper and an assload faster!. Soon we might even lose the taxi/company car market!"

"What do you propose we do? we must improve our package"

Many weeks pass as the development team put their heads together and try to come up with a plan.........

"By joe i've got it. All we have to do it make the engines even BIGGER!. Everybody loves big engines"

sooooooooo whos up for this wendsdy (2nd march)?????????

i have been there only once and there was about 3 of you pissant skyliners. we just took the shit out of yas all night with your shit jap crap cars it was good fun!

Thats pretty normal. Plenty of the Trevs are always on hand to dish out the crap, in the propper bogan way.

It just wouldn't be australia without them. It's all good.

btw you have a 383 stoker commo?

what times have you run in it mate?

erm

383chevvy is just goulash. remember goulash? well he's back... in pog form

So pauly, are you going down there this wednesday?

I'll definitely be there, if the prelude chops you, then you can race me and chop my car to make yourself feel better. It's only a stocker, so I don't mind losing to anyone... I need a baseline figure to work off before I start "da mods".

what i dont know my car is a 1.3liter

I wen't down there a few weeks ago, my first time. I was the only skyline there. I only got 3 runs, against two wrx's one was an sti and some gemini. I beat all of them.

Some tool forgot to brake at the end of the strip and went into the sand pit.

Ne way I was running high 13s with a stock r33 with exhaust and 10 psi, I was hoping for better. To much wheel spin and reaction time could have been better.

Dan the man.. Whos this 383Chevvy guy? Have you guys looked at all the posts he has made.. I dont think people like this should be posting on these forums at all.

Back onto the topic, is anyone going down to whoop arse wednesday tonight?

-

I went down. Got 4 runs in before a rider fell off his motorbike. He hurt himself, but walked away. They took AGES cleaning the track, so I left before I did a 5th. I'll scan and post the timeslip later. 16.1sec, bog stock. First time ever. I met a SAU guy... DeviousDan or something. If you're reading this dude, sorry I didn't remember your name.

Im heading down the plex probably on the 23rd March. My cars in the panel beaters as of next wednesday for nearly 2 weeks apparently. I just got a new s/s exhaust and high flow cat.. Nows a good a time as any to see what it can do i guess

didnt get to go down last nite :) apparently my mate didnt have enuff money ;) which means i think hes running scared. Ive convinced him to pencil wednesday comin up into the diary so i'll definatly be headin down this wednesday even without him. Anybody else have a good run?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
