Combining my passion for cars (anything with an engine really) with my knowledge as a mechanic to create memories. Here I can document and share them, but my goal is to be able to look back on these times later in life.
My FIRST time roll racing in my 900WHP Turbo LS VZ R8 at Calder Park
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.

Assembling my 900+whp turbo LS2 VZ Clubsport R8.... FOR THE FOURTH TIME!!
Переглядів 6 тис.7 місяців тому
Brief video assembling my VZ R8! Unfortunately, this was the fourth time putting it together but the positive is that I am very, very familiar with it now!
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 ?
Nice build on a legendary vz
What Camshaft specs?
You make that shit look like building a Lego toy. Fkn class
Beautiful clubby bro awesome build mate 🙌🏾
what cog swapper are ya runnin? still factory T56? or something a bit spicier?
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
Hey mate great build awesome car any chance you can tell me what shifter you are using? Mines also manual and wanting the same shifter as yours please 🙏 cheers mate
Fk me that’s clean!!
'PromoSM' ⭐
Nice build are you running e85?
Thank you! And yes I am on e85
@jimmyphilip_ do you get alot of vapour smoke from your catch can on idle? I'm running e85 on turbo lsa and experiencing what I think is a lot of vapour smoke from catch can once up to running temp mainly.
What’s been done to the motor? It would depend on how much vapour it’s producing? If it is a very small amount at hot idle/hot operating temps I wouldn’t be too concerned That being said, this engine barely makes any (if none)
@jimmyphilip_ cam, and top end built. It's alot of vapour could it possibly be over fueling or somthing like that ? When I take the oil cap off there's no blow by pressure
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 😃
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
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 UA-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). 😎
What clutch do you run mate about to turbo mine cheers
I’ve got a twin plate ceramic from NPC in qld mate! It’s very aggressive and not good for street or daily driving but it will take all the abuse you throw at it. They have heaps of options, I would give them a call or sus their website!
Thanks mate appreciate it
By far the best VZ R8 on this planet
Fkn appreciate you my guy 🫱🏼🫲🏻
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 ✌️
I’ve been searching for vz clubby content and there is barely anything so good to see someone make content off them
Thank you legend! I’ll do my best to keep them coming!
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.
Dumb question, what kind of car is that?
Not dumb at all! Its a 2006 HSV VZ Clubsport R8 made by Holden Australia 😊
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.
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
🤣🤣
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?
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!
Got a lil aspo ve Ute if ya keen on getting ur ass handed to ya????
🤣🤣 come on down bro
What did it run in the 1/4
Haven’t got a proper pass in yet mate!
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
clean video bro
Thank you mate I appreciate it!
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
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!
Awesome vid mate. Who is the old dude lol
Best bloke I know
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
@@braydenwalton4719not really mate, world is better off without it
what cam you running mate sounds sick
BTR Stage 3 mate! Sounds grouse and performs well too
@@jimmyphilip_ Oh nice thats the same cam im putting in mine next week! haha awesome
just realised ur plates seen you at the drags on friday@@jimmyphilip_
Mint! You’ll love it! Oh true haha, small world hey!
Bloody clean bro - nice build :) vids are smick rapiers look mean af too (think they are from the small side shot)
Thankyou mate I appreciate that! And yes you’re right they are rapiers. I absolutely love them on this car
Ice skating all the way. Thats scarey and not fun
Off boost it’s very driveable. If you are considerate with how much throttle you do on some light pulls it will behave fairly well. But then when required, it is extremely aggressive. Its only scary if you put yourself in scary situations 🤷🏼♂️
I've seen this car, was at a meetup in carrum downs a little while ago. kinda assumed it was shop built, did a mint job of it
That comment means heaps mate thankyou! I put a lot of effort into this
Keen to see some more videos on this. Makes me excited to get my vy clubby done
I’ll be sure to keep dropping them asap! Glad I can get you more keen haha!
Great video 🤙🍻
Cheers mate! 🫱🏼🫲🏻
