By the way where is your r31 skyline? Haven't seen it for years I remember you posted a while back that you had plans of going of 150mph+

108-109mph=140mphish, why lie?, makes you look like a knob when the truth comes out. Car is getting diff built atm ..150mph to easy..do it in street trim..lol cheers darren

Acker went 9.7 @ 140mph at calder park and his engine still retains std rods but has forged pistons

I wasn't comparing the two cars, far from it, not sure why you've become so defensive, i merely asked if Acker did run 147mph but it was 143 mph as indicated by a few. Sorry i just read further down, it was 9.7@ 143 mph using standard rods but forged pistons and given it's a calais it is far heavier than the car in question and run a higher mph.

The standard rods bend around 430rwkw in whatever car your using.. they're metal, they fatigue and they WILL eventually bend. Nice work on the time btw. morgz are you talking about CGMFLY? , that went 9.8 or 9.7 complete standard bottom end too back in the day yet again awesome work and time , love the fact its still utilising the standard bottom end

Didn't BIGPSI also run a 9.8 with a standard bottom end as well?

Yeah was a 9.9 or 9.8 by bigpsi on the standard motor with the standard exhaust manifold and a jpc 800hp gt3582r.

Yeah 9.81 @ 142 with 372rwkw .... standard rods and cast pistons The pistons i used weren't Nissan ones but were still cast 424kw for 139mph sounds pretty exaggerated power to me Congrats on the et though I wished i had of raced mine at Calder

Congrats on the time..!! Great to see

CGMFLY has run 9.21, not sure if the engine has changed though...

1.48 60ft impresses me. I could only manage 1.60's with a very similar time/power/tyre. He's not running drum rears is he?

anyone got pics of VL 3 747 ?????????

Yep.

Oh no sorry was with a transbreak But iv seen some cars do a decent 60 wth foot break by stalling up in a higher gear and putting it back into first! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yer though that might have been any better than 1.48? I know its not the same being V8 and all but i stall up in 2nd and pull 1st and only get 1.60, cant go 3rd cos its a ratchet. 1.59 is my best. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

mines goes 1.48 aswell, off the footbrake, on mt street radials... and I rekon there's prob a tiny bit more in it too... I dunno about the old stall up in second smash into first thing tho, haha that's pretty brutal on the tranny... cant imagine it lasting long..
