ZRSHIFT

Hrmm i see they have made a carbon fibre TRD style grill. $180 aye. I wonder if thats worth it compared to buying it over in Thailand. What u rekon?

Nah man.. thats a 14.74 DJKOR!!! WOW man u did a 13.3... well done!!! how did u manage to remove 0.4secs from ur previous runs?? Congratulations man.

Damn, now I want to shed 250KG from my Aurion and convert it to RWD :P LOL yeah me too!! But dont forget our cars arent really sport cars.. Such a shame aye.. and our transmission setup restricts us to a certain power. Why Toyota!! Why!! Haha if our cars were RWD oh my!! how much more fun.. +1 million. If these Aurions came in RWD package I wonder what the Holden and Ford boys would be picking on then? It's annoying because some guy on the street few days ago said (not joking here), nice car, those Aurions are punchy for a FWD! AHHHH! As soon as they think FWD they think slow and crap. Im sure if those Holden and Ford boys had a FWD setup in their car, they would just be doing burnouts instead of moving off the start line. Haha. If our cars were RWD and even in manual we would blow them away, plus their cars hav atleast 60kw more than we do... So i dont know how they can give us **** That is true. I see way too many bogans in there RWD flat sticking the cars at the lights like some chump today in his yellow monaro. He hit the accelerator so damn hard at the lights it sounded like a freight train(was trying to race a ford). Poor engine :( LOL. Something i havent seen in ages... A Holden vs Ford haha!! Man... one day, hopefully i have money... then i can beat some Fords and Holdens in a race, but having a 14second car isnt fast enough..

Dang i just watched that!! Its using the 2GR-FE engine with 200kw like the Aurions but 250kg lighter than the ZR6 and does 0-100 in 5.1secs. Its also rear wheel drive and manual. Nice work.

Ive got a grill but its held together by super glue. LOL. So if anyone with a grill who wants to sell or knows anyone in WA cheers!!

Wow i had no idea aye!! Thanks for the heads up tho!! Looks like i hav to be careful if i go looking for one.

No offence to anyone but an exhaust system on the aurion excluding rear mufflers/ y-pipe is just useless... Aurions are very touchy.. And if u want serious gains, ur gonna have to do custom headers, manifolds, ecu blah blah and then a full exhaust system. Dont forget... Aurions are family cars!!! Hahaha Ive got rear mufflers on mine and a custom y-pipe and i tell u, the y-pipe doesnt give much of a gain at all...

Man... I had no idea that this GB existed!!! Can i please join???? And whenever the next GB is i am sooo in!!!

Thanks for your input mate. Too bad no one has actually done up their TRD for others to know of. The thing is, ive got my rear 2.5inch magnaflow mufflers from my ZR6 and also im gonna give my brother my y-pipe in exchange for his stock y-pipe So if my rear mufflers can fit on the TRD then it would be nice to put them to good use. Im still in the process of deciding which car to get for 36k budget tho... TRD is first on the list, but also looking around at Subaru Liberty's and Impreza ect... But at the end of the day i want looks, comfort (leather seats :D) and power (which is why TRD is winning) I dont know if i want to buy a turbocharged car tho... Maintenance wise is gonna cost alot, but then again a TRD has a supercharger... So i wonder wat the maintenance cost of that will be?? Hahaha the 98octane on the TRD is gonna cost more than our normal 95... but oh well

hey.. do you drive a black zr6?? with plastic number plates?.... and go to uwa? if so nice car! Haha yeah my plates say ZRSHIFT and thanks!!

Hi guys to start off my budget is about 36k and im here in Perth (WA) I hav found a 33k 3500S TRD (Red) and hav found a 3500SL (Silver) for 36k Altho i have heard that a TRD is capable of a 13.8sec 1/4 mile does anybody know of which mods that are available for the TRD?? I havent heard of anybody modifying their TRD. Plus.. Can u add on rear mufflers for this car? Coz that rear bumper seems like it gets in the way... At the same time im looking at other cars too!! But i cant make up my mind... The reason why i want a Aurion or a TRD is becoz for 36k it has looks, comfort and power (1/4 power) Ive been looking at Subaru's but still cant make up my mind Sorry for the 100 questions but i need abit of advice from others Cheers, Peter

Oh my... Nice ride buddy!!! Hahaha!!! Im also looking at getting a TRD as well. But i havent made up my mind yet... Has anybody know of anyone who has modified their stock TRD? I cant seem to find a thread that has anybody saying that their TRD has been modified. Cheers, Peter

I would choose the original grill. Why? Bcoz of the colour of your car. The other two grills dont mix well with that colour, and with the original having the outsides blue it blends in well with your car colour

Yes u are right. And launching the car correctly also gives u a good 60ft time and also the finishing time. Well done mate i have to say, u are one awesome driver especially at launching ur car, i would love to hav gotten atleast a 14.5 but i havent spent anytime to launch and work on the foot work.

You are definetely right about focusing on the launching part. I know how the reaction times work, reaction doesnt matter. I just wasnt concentratiing enough to vary which rpm launch and how heavy my foot would be at launch time. I got fed up after 6 races getting such poor times, and just went home on the 7th. Haha doesnt matter atleast i know wat my first time went. Oh by the way it was the Perth Motorplex

Im not too sure about ur quote mate. I had 7 races all varied between 14.8 and 14.9 and one run at 14.7 These are my 60 ft times: 2.481 (14.847) 2.557 (14.964) 2.508 (14.930) 2.481 (14.823) 2.512 (14.874) 2.582 (14.962) 2.469 (14.794)

Took mine down tonight for a run. Got a crappy 14.794 @ 153.75Km With a reaction time of 0.699 My best reaction time was 0.011 but only got 14.9 Oh wells after a bunch of races i just couldnt be bothered and went home. I cant launch the car for ****, not a good enough driver!

yeah, kinda... but you need to get your head around the fact that you're not actually starting off in "6th gear"... whatever number is shown on the dash, you're LIMITED to that gear and below... so if its showing "1" on the dash, then it'll stay in 1st for as long as you want... but if its showing "3", it'll change from 1 to 2 to 3 and then stay in 3rd for as long as you want... in saying that, it WILL down shift if you put your foot flat to the floor... i think ive said enough now... im just repeating myself i think... seriously, take the car for a drive and play with the gear shifting... you'll soon understand what its doing... :) Sorry mate, i actually understand, but i guess i didnt say that i did. Basically if ur car is in s mode and in 6th gear and wen u floor it, it will begin in 1st then 2nd and so on. The only question i was trying to get for the past 2hrs... Lols was wat selected gear will display on screen? YES!! i think i just asked the correct question worded correctly. Hahaha im so sorry for confusing everyone with the wrong worded questions. LOLS!!

Oh, so all ur trying to say is that put it in s mode and shift up to 6th gear and then take off at the start line in 6th gear right?? Thats all i was asking, i was just asking the steps into taking off at the start line in which gear thats all.

Oh dear. I think for you, you are best of leaving it in 'D'. For what it's worth, putting it into 'S' will not benefit you at this point in time. Lol i know i know, i dont know much about cars in detail nor about the drag strip. So i ask heaps of questions. Sorry.

DJKOR mentioned that i wasnt going to take off in 6th gear. So im guessing take off in a diff gear and the upshift twice?? If the run ends up u being in 4th gear, then why dont i just go down the strip in 4th gear instead of 6th? So confusing this 6th gear thing, to me it sounds like u are in 6th gear but the car naturally takes off starting at 1 then 2,3,4 so on.

You surely can't be thinking that by having it in 6, that the car will be taking off in 6th gear? Have you ever tried to take off on a high gear on a manual car? You should really read what 'S' mode is all about. Leaving it on 6 enables you to utilise all gears, but when going down the 1/4 mile, you only get up to 4th anyways, but you may as well leave it on 6th because it makes no difference. Okay this sounds good, so wat will i do at the start line? How should i launch and then be in 6th gear? Launch in drive? Please explain haha im so noob at drags
