Great going Sam.

Any 60' sub 2.0 secs on true street tyres is something to be proud of.

Mid 13s on your first ever trip to the track is no mean feat either.

MPH says there's a little more in her yet too!

After Danh's issues earlier in the day, we lost interest in running last night, so poker it was.

Thanks guys :D

too bad you couldnt make it down, i was looking forward to seeing the Calais & GT-R run down the strip.

heres my best timeslip, lol @ my R/T on this one! i did my burnout dropped it out of gear & forgot to put it back into gear afterwards :P thankfully the R/T doesn't affect the ET :D

btw - im #647, left lane.

You launched well with that power, street tyres and weight Sam :thumbup:

Try some semislick next time and you could be in the 12.

Sorry for the absence. Hopefully I will get my track toilet to the drag strip soon :D

nice 60" sam..... My car is having boost problems.... (only operating at factory levels and some huge knock --> ive seen 130 a couple of times)... Hoping to get it sorted b4 friday..... hope to see you guys at the next lot of drags...

cheers guys! SAU drag day sounds like a good idea to me. I was one of only 3 skylines there. the other was a stock looking R31 silo that did 11s and the other was an R32 GT-R running huge slicks and in the 10s!!! i lined up against them both and got totally blitzed :P

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

Would have been nice to watch.

BTW is anyone coming out to spectate this Saturday at AIR?

Keir is coming out. Hopefully he will complete the R&D with the first few runs. He's expecting to dial in the max amount of nos with treaded radial ( if everything go well). It will be fun to watch.

hey theres two r31's the one that has the twin turbo v8 was at "prostock" and ran into 10's from what i hear. the other is a mate and ran a 11.6 (guy works for madaz) or so its na with a gt turbo and aftermarket tunning. both are gts1's !!!

we should organise a SAU drag day at the beginning of next year.  Book a fully prep track and have as many runs as possible.

imo that would cost a bit

i was looking into booking out malla for a drive day and for 30 ppls it was gunna cost us all 400bux as u can imagine i didnt get alot of interest ...this was when i had my R31

remeber i was checking out a drive day @ mallala with the guys from that racing mob where u drive there race prep'd commo's cept i said we didnt want those we drive our 'lines we were gunna get instructors tuition if u wanted it i think lunch it was a full day with 2 instructors also :(

Danh, how did Keir go on the weekend?

track was poorly prepared

we got there early and keir did not run until 2ish

keir had only one run and could not get the power to the ground anywhere

we packed up and left after that :(

a few beers and late lunch with the boys was the only good part of the day :)

oh I forgot,

apparently after we left the track was shut down for 2 hours by Andra due to the sun. Timing gears broke after that and everyone race with out timing gear :(

Can't wait to see better management at AIR and the timing board back on the stands :) Lets not organise anything at AIR until we see some improvement. The place is quite embarassing for south australian compare to avenues in other states.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
