Hey guys been trying to find some info on 1/4 times for VLs in NZ found one down south did a 15.2 notsure if it was Turbo I know there's one or to NZCT guys gone down the strip so - what was your Times Mods Date Can be n/a Turbo v8 or other needs to be a VL though Cheers Mike EDIT ... We will do a rough hitlist of NZ VL's 1st -- Brent thurlow ------------ 11.5/120mph RB30et auto sedan 2nd --Hayden (PSIWPN) --------- 11.795/116mph RB30et auto sedan 3rd -- Matt -------------------- 12.95/184kph (114mph) RB26dett manual sedan 4th -- Kris (RIPSV8)----------- 13.2/113 mph RB30et manual sedan 5th -- Danny Katterns (UNONT2)-- 13.3/107 mph RB30et manual sedan 6th -- Andrew Johnstone --------- 13.55/111 mph RB30et sedan 7th -- Jason Thurlow -------------13.6/? mph RB30et manual sedan 8th -- Issac --------------------- 14.42/? mph RB25det manual sedan 9th -- Kelvin Norrie (DOSEIT)------ 14.46/? mph RB30et manual sedan 10th -- Nick---------------------- 14.539/ 98.68 mph 308 v8 manual sedan 11th -- Dave --------------------- 14.6/ ? mph RB30E supercharged auto sedan 12th -- vlndet ------------------- 14.924/ ? mph 308 v8 auto wagon 13th -- Kelvin Norrie (SIKVLT) -----15.07/ 90.77mph RB30et manual wagon

I wanted to take mine, but just never had the time. I'd guess a stock VLT would do high 14s - low 15s??

Richard who owned my car before me showed me a slip for my BT1 for 13secs when it was auto my old SL had a slip for 14.9 Also Neil did a 13 about 10 years ago in that other white BT1 and it was auto as well

I set up the drags here at the top of the south(motueka)And I have to say that times get really get put out there.14 sec's become 12 or 13 sec's if your car is say getting 12 to 13 sec's that is quite fast(over the 160 k mark)we have 4 meets a year and invite the boy so called racers in there 600 horse cars and hardly anyone turns up to prove there cars.Why thats becouse when the clutch drops the bull shyte stops!they don't like being timed.I think the truth hurts.We get heaps of cars doing the 14 to 16 bracket,But who cares as long it is even racing,Nobody wants to see a 14 sec car against a 10 sec.If you get a chance get out and do it(on the track)it's fun to watch and it keeps it off the street! Cheers Marty ps I've taken a dihatsu teris down as well as a sheep shagger as well as the old brock.All slow bt fun! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hayden has been down,did a 14 i think,(correct me if im wrong)i have seen a couple of vls at meremere

The best I could get on my G-Tech was 14.3 with 250rwkw on the streets Not enough traction Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

brent did a 13.6 with my motor in his brothers car

Cheers Marty ps I've taken a dihatsu teris down as well as a sheep shagger as well as the old brock.All slow bt fun! I havnt done it myslef...was just what Richard showed me the day I picked up the car 4 meets a year.............see thats why its done on the street it neeeds to be EVERY weekend at night time......bring back the weekend night drags at ruapuna.....dad used to take me as a kid......oh thats right the tossa residents stopped it because they suck... id go everytime I could if it was night time drags Heres a VL turbo from down south Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Seen that car annnnd it is not quite standed. At Ruapuna the MAIN reason they stopped doing the weekend thing WAS becouse no one was turning up.They all wanted to be seen down in Columbo street,Why I know is becouse we spent weeks(Friday nites) being there and setting it up.We we did the poll we had heap of inquires,But then you had clowns turning up in unregistered cars(no warrents)so it was hopeless.At the moment we are trying to get a permanat venue which can be used most weekends,But that means appox 5 mil.But that will cover carts,MX as well as saloon.But with every sport we neeed the support.Out of the 4 meeting 2 are national titles.

I'm hoping to give the wagon a run down the 1/4 before the intercooler just for fun see what it does What did kris do in the old RIPv8s ?

i did a 14.638 at 150.41kmh on the 21/11/2008 and yeah you already know my mods nothing special really. hopefully 10s soon haha probably more like 11s but guess ill just have to wait and see what this new car will be capable of

the cold weather plays havoc with the track surface (well at Meremere anyway), gets way too slippery and no-one can get decent launches, hell its slippery enough at the best of times!. One of the reasons there aren't drags all year round. But seriously, something does need to be done to help keep it off the streets. Stops us car enthusiasts getting a bad name from the idiots out there.

Oh im the first to admit.....its still a fun atmosphere when it happens on the street in an industrial estate or something away from harms way

kris did a 13.5 i think

Pretty sure BT1s had em, but any others? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

u guys have not run a 10?

haha me and my brother have small front arm rests on our front doors and to my knowledge no new zealand models came out with them JELEOUS MUCH HUH lol Christchurch knows how to party thats all Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

No VL has although there is afew around that could do it - remember not many genuine VLTs came to NZ so we don't have the numbers or work shops backing us but since the "drift" scene has come more people are looking at RB30s albeit putting DOHC heads on them Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

meh, I was thinkin that if they were common I would replace my rear ones with ashtray-less ones. Not to worry, dyeing them black anyway - at least then the ashtray will be the same colour as the armrest! No 10 second VLs in NZ to my knowledge. But we are home to the worlds fastest RB30... http://ripsracing.com

rips seem to be good the cnut can charge but!!! rayglass over there is doing amazing in pro turbo 6.7 or 6.6 in there 2j machine
