Hi Mate

yeah

Im there on weds getting some practise. also going for some low 11s.

i have some dead street rubber tho, so we'll see. im sure no traction will be an issue for me.

I presume you are in the All in 4,6,8 rotary DYO Street Class at the StreetCar Shootout?

hopefully we should line up against eachother on weds and have a larf.

thanks

Mick

Haven't been to one for  a while might give it a try I am still a 1/4 mile virgin

Well then, no better person than Mick to give you a raping for your first time.

Just remember, dump the clutch on the last orange light....that's the one just before the green. This should give you a good reaction time.

And when you think you have crossed the finish, keep going for a bit....the track is a lot longer than you think and when you think you are finished you usually still have 100m to go.

i will probably be heading out

as i just got my power fc in and put the boost up to 10psi

im guessing its going to be fairly busy, considering the shootout on saturday. last quarter run was 14.3, skidded all first

i want to let the tyres down abit but i dont really want to drive on 25 psi to the next petrol station. As i just got the tyres last week

it might not matter but oh well, i'll just have to try and control not skiddin as much at the start.

Good to see a couple of skylines headin out though, last ones i been too there has been a shitload of commodores and fords.

Ya kinda guess it though being in ipswich.

Anyway see yas there, hope yas pull some good times.

reaction .654

mph 101.69

60ft time was 2.246

f**ked the start abit didnt have much revs .

hmmmm well i had an interesting night.... didnt get out till like 7:15...

Did a half powerr lass to make sure it was gonna change gears... next pass i stalled it up and it skipped foward through the beams on the front runners.... Never driven with them before... Then it managed a reasonably clean 12.2@112mph... gearbox is shifting unreal.... really happy with that.... just got look at being super consistant now.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
