theres banned and then theres BANNED! what time did you run to get booted out mate?
I doubt going deep into the 10s they'd let you back without appropriate gear

First time only 12.1 and they wanted tailshaft loop, harness etc
Went back and they didnt check and ran 11.3@118mph 20psi. I wanted to go back with 90/10s and more boost but unfortunatley killed the car...

yeah i would imagine the dual cam car WOULD get jealous, considering the SOHC car could go just as fast and faster with 1, as it can with 2

meh.
where is shane and arie... im pretty sure they both dislike the sohc package
yes all this "trash talk" is real fun and is getting lame
...kinda sucks real-hard when my standard RB26 head works more efficiently than even a worked RB30 head pity my head isnt standard anymore.
BUT HEY ON THE BRIGHTSIDE OF THINGS - THE TWINCAM CONVERSION WILL MAKE UP FOR MY POOR DRIVING lol
note - just remember i got rid of my old rajab motor just for fun, because i was bored (which is pretty much what happened.... ). so having said this.. its not like i dont love the RB30ET anymore. but if somebody gave me one for free I wouldnt say no...

^ WTF? lol
i couldn't give 2 ****s about sohc vs. dohc. I just wanna have some fun on the track with as many VL's as possible :P
I'm 99% sure this was light-hearted banter, It's not like i passionately hate sohc VL's lol. I just wanted to try something different

this was light hearted banter, way to ruin it genki!
Noone DISLIKES twin cam heads. The point being (which you clearly missed) is that you can go just as fast, if not faster, with 1 cam, then you can with 2. Rajabs are deep into the 8s, maybe thats not fast enough for you? Are you going to go quicker? Sure theres advantages going DOHC, noone is debating that. You dont need to get so defensive, especially considering your fully sick dohc motor isnt even going yet. So dont be so quick to get on your high horse, especially when you have nothing to back it up!
The trash talk is part and parcel of cars, i was quite enjoying myself and im sure the other boys love a bit of banter so what the farks your problem?
Also, if you genuinely have the opinion that calais are a try-hard nissan, sell your VL now because you shouldnt have one!!! thats fvking sacrelidge right there.
