Yeah ill be heading down, not Skyline affiliated though!

My brother has a Blue HQ with a big F**K off engine in it... She doesnt look real pretty at the moment (body wise) but she should run a mid 11 tonight and he can pull a mean skid aswell - he has won the burnout comp quite a few times.

Soon the engine will be coming out in favour of a forced induction Chev with a big HP nitros setup. And we are also painting the car VB can green with an ice pearl over the top.... should look the goods.

I will be cruising around wearing a HSV jacket so if you see me aswell please say'hello.

Good luck Nick. Hope all goes well for you mate... See you tonight

ha ha its real hard lining up against some of those old school V8's and rotors that run 11's... can't even hear my car! a couple of times I have reached for the ignition only to discover its already on! staging and then waiting for those big loud bastards to take off so I can concentrate on my launch!

... hey is there a better way to block off the coolant overflow bottle without just tying a knot in the rubber piping?... I lost a lot of coolant last time...

when i went to the drags (heathcote with a ford club) they had to put a coke bottle in there for the overflow, so that the coolant didnt drip on the track....if thats what ur talking about

Well thanks for the "early" notice :P

Here i am, at home, waiting for my mate to finish working at Calder, when i could have been there, having a few runs with you guys :) .

Lately i have been considering taking it down, to see how much of an improvemnt the car has made since last time. Now i will have to wait another month b4 i can test it, as it is getting a few more performance tweaks.

ohh well, have a great night and post up your results.

Al

its ok Al... i think its about time another SAU drag day was held... hasnt been one for like...

FOREVER!!

man i still had my 32 back then and it was stock!

maybe wait til my new skyrines here so i can feel like one of the family again :P

just got back... and my ears are still ringing from all those big cube engines with no exhaust!

best was:

13.75 @ 103mph with a 60 foot of 2.2sec

getting some axle tramp, found it hooked up best with gradually feeding the throttle in after launching at 3000rpm... would have like to get a better 60ft time but oh well its still a pretty good time for stock turbo and ecu

time for beer

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
