- First time ever driving on a drag strip and first time roll racing! Even better I got to share it with the boys! What more could you want?
Calder Park Drag Racing hosted a great event at Calder Park and it was insanely busy. Great night to see some of Melbourne's cars being used like they were built for.
Blown vz clubby owner here. Nice video and car mate keep up the great work absolutely love watching content on my favourite hsv ✌️
Thank you mate! Glad to have another VZ clubby owner out there watching
Will do my best to make more videos 😃
Love the clean workshop and the editing is on point. Got the same looking vehicle, Colour and everything. only got an SS though. Owned since 09. Looking to do the same motoe work. Possibly Supercharged. 👍Love the plates mate
Thank you mate I appreciate the feedback!
Sounds like a really nice ride. A supercharger would no doubt top it off!
Cool vid. Good to see someone else rowing gears. In future, BR6EF plugs for boosted engines. BR7EF if over 15psi. TR6 for NA.
Thanks mate! Yep nothing better than being able to row them during a pull
Will keep that in mind but I’m running TR6 as my tuner requested them!
By far the best VZ R8 on this planet
Fkn appreciate you my guy 🫱🏼🫲🏻
Dude for how little subscribers you have this was fucking good content, I’ve got a r8 clubby my self
That means heaps mate! I really appreciate that. I’ve only just started and heaps to improve. Best cars mate, I absolutely love them.
Videos are already fantastic mate keep it up
Thanks for the feedback mate I appreciate it!
@@jimmyphilip_Also loved vid & content lad 👌💪😎. I’m Melbourne native car dude too, I’m gradually building my Nissan R34 Gtr (at 700whp atm). Once I complete my block(2.8 Stroker kit) am planning similar path to you, having first crack at Calder (drag preferably but Roll Racing too possibly). Was it nerve racking bro?? PS. I have little TH-cam channel too 😂
@@PHATT_TVthank you mate! Sounds like a great build mate, hope it’s all going well for you!
It was more overwhelming rather than nerve racking and because it was so busy there wasn’t much time to think about much haha
Definitely a good way to test the waters though and have a go
@@jimmyphilip_ Thanks 🙏 brother, really appreciate advice & your experience. I’ll be at Calder this Saturday with few mates(I’ll be in my 34 Gtr with PHATT plates if u are around come say hi lad). 😎
Hey man very nice built what catch can u running
Thank you! It’s from killaboost, it’s a catch can /overflow setup
Man living the dream, insane blacked out turbo clubby, blacked out raptor on an insane looking property in Victoria.
Just came upon this vid in my recommendation so I don't know who you are but is that like your mechanic shop at your property like your own business from home, if so that's incredible ?
Wish I could say it’s all mine mate!
Hi, for roll racing acceleration would I get faster acceleration if tyre pressure is low because it will result in smaller rolling circumference? I don't care much for traction because my car isn't high powered
Lower tyre pressure is only going to get you more traction, won’t have an affect on circumference
Golf R did well wow
100% he did! I forgot to ask the guy about his setup but I’m sure it would have had something good parts on it because he really took off from the start.
clean video bro
Thank you mate I appreciate it!
I was there, did the opposite to you went for drags left before the elims started, had work the next morning
Oh really! Did you manage to get a few passes in early? Was crazy busy by the time I got there
@@jimmyphilip_ Was probably 4th in line at the start of the night and still only got 5 runs. Way to busy, will make the trip out to Heathcote next time, By the time I started figuring out how to launch I only managed 2 more runs, spun on one of them and missed my 2nd to 3rd shift on the other so best run ended up being just stomping on it without letting it build boost.
@@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO yeah fair enough mate! Was very busy to be able to take time to improve on what you really needed! I’ll be doing the same soon enough and head to heathcote so I can actually get some solid practise in
Can I ask what you gap you plugs too and are there TR6 plugs?
Yes they are TR6 mate and gapped to .027”
But it’s best to check with your tuner first
What did it run in the 1/4
Haven’t got a proper pass in yet mate!
Awesome vid mate. Who is the old dude lol
Best bloke I know
I’ve got a vz clubby same colour yours looks clean AF man perfect example of a vz clubby 🙏🏼
Thank you mate! Glad to have some vz clubby owners watching
Same.. blown vz clubby owner here but in blue. Nicee video champ keep em coming love watching content on my favourite hsv ✌️
What Camshaft specs?
BTR stage 3, id have to look them up tbh
This video is cool and all but can we see more of the f6 hiding in the back ground on the hoist…..
Sorry mate, had to send it to the crusher as it was a rebirthed XT
@@jimmyphilip_ oh ok! That’s a shame
@@Unw1se0508not really mate, world is better off without it
My 400kw fg barra would munch ya bro 😅
Your 400kw fg wouldn’t munch my grandmas Camry
Are you talking about the raptor or the clubby
@@jimmyphilip_ the clubby ofcource thats what was in the vid and it was the first vid i seen on your channel tbh... i love the content btw and i love the turbo LS what you've done there is a work of art bro, but being a manual turbo LS 800kw it's abit hard to get good times at the tracks... that's why im saying my 400kw fg barra with the zf gearbox would beat the clubby even tho you got 400kw more... sometimes huge power doesn't always correlate to fast 0-100 and 1/4 runs.
Haha I was stiring you up bro
Thanks for the kind words! I’ve put a heap of effort into it.
You are right though, if you can put the power down faster and more consistent then it should translate in to faster times or speed!
That being said, do some 3rd and 4th gear pulls on private roads (or in Mexico) and the difference really shows.
The clubby is useless off the line at the moment haha. But then again I haven’t had any practice in it.
@@jimmyphilip_ no worries man and yeah your 100% right your 100km-200km would be faster then your 0-100 for sure... I wouldn’t bother practising drag racing from launch, I’d just practice roll racing starting at 30-40km in 2nd your beast would still munch a lot of fast cars in roll racing if you get it right... it’s super clean for a 20 year old car btw 👌you done a paint job yeah?
watching a spark plug swap is like watching paint dry
Was more about getting the car ready. But i appreciate your input!
And he stayed to watch it dry I love it
🤣🤣
You can fit a bigger tyre under it iv got a 275/65 under my fg xr6t just machine the center 6 mil
From what I’ve seen FGs have much bigger wheel arches, but I should be able to run a 255 with no dramas
My understanding is 275 doesn’t fit that great but I’ll be able to test it for myself soon enough
@@jimmyphilip_ um not sure if the fg have a bigger wheel arch i know i had mine pumped out to the max and had the centre machined 6mm
When i had 275/60s no problem didnt machine didnt pump the gaurds
