Tonite was an awesome nite out at the creek with quite a few GTR's, a few GTS-T's and many SAU spectators in the crowd. Me and VISHES got out to EC around 3/4ish and we were in the first few cars to run.

My results of the night weren't anything special. My best time was a 13.1 with a 1.9 60ft time. Last time out I managed a 13.2 with a 2.1 60ft time. What this tells me is that even though my 60ft is getting slightly better my ET is ONLY dropping slightly meaning the car is reaching its currently power potential. Also my MPH seems to be the same between 104-106.

Anyway was awesome. I had 5 runs all up. One I got fouled out. And 4 consistent runs around the 13.1/13.2 mark. I tried launches at 6500, 7000, 7500 and redline with a bit of clutch slip, dumps etc. I found the best method is to slip up the clutch a bit and then dump it. Totally just dumping the clutch at redline DOES NOT work hehe but being the last run of the night I had to try this brake frying technique.

VISHES ran 14's all night long until his VERY last run he cracked a VERY impressive 13.4! :) Very cool VISHES !!

Saw JUDD there but don't know what he got? XCALBR (Black R32 GTR) ran low 13's like me all nite.... and there was another Black R32 with chromes with the plates GDZ11R.

Out of the 5 runs I ran 3 very fast rotors/V8's which were drag spec cars, also raced an E36 M3 which ran a 15.5 (bad driver?) and my final run was against the car formerly with the plates FEELDG... now with the plates GTR8U. He chomped me with an 11.7 run hehe...

My first run, I came up against a V8 Calais (REACTA) which side wayed so bad he posted an 18 second. That was the only victory I had as my other runs considered of 10 second Rotaries!!!!

I tried to transfer my street launch technique to the drag strip. Which didn't work!!! In my last run, I tried something unorthodox and came up short of upsetting Mr Yangsta!!!!!!! hehehehe

Overall I had fun and learned a great deal from dragstrip racing :)

Argh im sitting at home thinking "damnit wednesday night nothing to do i think i'll watch tv" (ended up at a chicks place) yet this time last week i couldn't wait for the EC Drags grrrrrrr. I've never ever seen a Skyline Drag at EC only those stupid Rotaries

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
