Hey dude your caps lock is on :cheers:

Thanks nv033

we know that the MINES 32 in Japan has done a 10.60 with 25/30's.

Theo had the Aust record, 10.78 with 25/40's

Some guy in NZ says he has done a 10.2? with low mounts? (but this is only hear say)............so until we are proved incorrect or someone goes quicker......lets say DIRT is the fastest 25/30 :(

So unless anyone can provide any evidence otherwise, TWO06L is the fastest low mount-equipped GTR in the world?

Sweeeeeet. Congrats again. :O

I'm not sure that you're comparing apples to apples, I mean the Jap cars are running Nitto's and probably pump fuel. Then again their tracks are also alot slower than WSID as well.

Having said that, it in no way diminishes the results that Paul & Stacey have got with their car - at the end of the day it's a very quick time for a combination that would perform well day to day or on the circuit :O I think if Cabin/Autosalon are still doing that car of the year with track and drag testing it would kick some serious ass (with a slight change in suspension, tyres, fuel and tune for conditions).

i wouldn't call that spuring people on quite honestly!  And its not the first comment he has made with that theme... and like you can't stand half a logo, i can't stand sexist people!

As i have said previously, no comment was meant to upset anyone, and i did appologise if it had..... unfortuantely the internet doesnt convey how something is intended very well. It was only meant to be a gee up, but if you felt it wasnt i will keep comments like that to myself from now on...

now Merli, pics or ban i say!!!!!

I'm not sure how you can differentiate these things. If they want to run different radials, good luck to them, that is their choice. Pump fuel? That is not a definite and it is also their choice. And how do you quantify that their tracks are slower? None of these things realistically effect the times run in that different people choose different tyres, fuel and suspension. The main comparisons are there for all to see in so much as everything else is on a fairly level playing field.

Also, I recall a certain GTR from Japan a few years back attended a drag meet a Willowbank and couldnt run any better than its best time of 7.67 :(

That's exactly my point - being realistic. Nittos are a slower tire, pump fuel is certainly a different brew from VP gear and WSID is classed as one of the world's quickest tracks due to surface, prep, altitude, gradient and location. The goat tracks that they run on in Japan... is just that. You don't see the Japs providing an alitude corrected time for their runs, which is one of the most blatant aspects of their strip. Even the launch surface of WSID is a calculated affair, there's no way in hell that any such thought went into what looks to be a disused air strip/part time fire trail that they run on in Japan. There was a debacle about the legitimacy of the HKS drag car's best time, since it was done in "private testing"... Oh and wasn't it raining for the majority of time the HKS car was at Willowbank? That footage of Mr. K. doing burnouts in the R33 is pretty cool. Ideal environment for record setting yes?

Heh but I know you already know these things :(

I am not really sure how grouping the 'ladies' together is meant to spur someone on? if you thrown the gauntlet down and challenge me.. fine! but making remakes like that are really unnecessary and can feel demeaning! thats all i'm saying!

merli!!!!  what tha!!!!  when do you take pics like that!!!  was that at drag day!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Sure was :(

Not my fault that you have the infinite wisdom to pull such a face when a camera is pointing in your direction :lol:

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
