hey this might be common knowlage but id love 2 kno, im assuming its some little 13bTT rotor?

I sware one year it was an LJ torana with a blown bigblock. Ran a 7.6 or something. But if you can get a 7.6 second car regoed then i'm Ossama Binladen.

so it would have to comply with ADR's, Roadworthy requirements and EPA, hmmm, that narrows it down! lol, you can legally drop a smallblock into an LJ, but not a bigblock!

Depends if you mean street legal, or registered, because theres a big difference.

Isn't Eddy Tassone's VH Registered/Legal? it runs 8's i think

Well Rod Hadfields Final Objective has been street legal and I think it has something like 4000 Horsepower out of its V12 Rolls Royce Fighter plane engine.

LOL i bet that thing complies with emissions regulations..... NOT

Quote: LOL i bet that thing complies with emissions regulations..... NOT yup!! for one thing the car is a '56 chev... what emissions laws were inplace then? also the donk is a RR Merlin Spitfire engine... last production around 1943-4. no emissions laws to comply with, he's laughin. emissions laws are only applicable to cars post 1986 AFAIK. -jimmy

the lines are so blurry

yeah but that 57 prolly wouldnt run the quickest down the 1/4, im thinking alot of wheelspin. im wanna kno the fastest road legal (registered and RWC) car in australia down the 1/4, not just hp heros. I assume non of the really fast cars run on street tyres for strip work

if you want street tyred cars look at the nitto challenge(i think thats what its called) in hpi mag

Quote: nope, it's more like 1976, even an HJ has emissions, my 78 Statey had a carbon cannister, EGR, pollution carby and all the valves, until I put her on straight gas that is but im guessing that the laws then were never that strict though. -jimmy

i think its '71 or '72

i think it is one of the rajab VL turbos, saw a sign at auto salon saying that it was either victorias or australias quickest registered street car

JOE BLO (Red small Block LJ torrie) when it first came out it did a high seven or low eights and it was "legal" then.

"Fasterst street-tyred, non nitrouse-powerd car in Australia". Is a 1992 Nissan GTR R32, Keir Wilson is the owner. His time so far is 8.84@160.25. He wants to do a 8.61ET to take out the worlds fasterst street-tyred, non nitrous-powerd car. The car has to run DOT-rated tyres, is an original unmodifed shell, has the original engine in it and can be road registered. Willall Racing is the work shop the car comes out off, and is based in Adelaide. Sounds like they know a thing or 2 about making 6cyl turbos in street cars fly..

but keir's car runs a OS Giken 3 litre, does he still qualify for that?? i wouldn't really say that that is an 'original' engine. -jimmy
