  1. shall we now call him "malcom in the middle" ?
  2. you are to be mistaken my friend...very much mistaken... i raced a low 10 sec GTR for 3 years solid with a Jim Berry single plate...450 AWKW+ never slipped once and was one of the most reliable parts on the car. now run a NPC twin plate which already needs attention after 20 passes.
  3. here's mine...see the rest of the car in this months HPI magazine
  4. yes...what he said
  5. where are we gonna meet up beforehand?
  6. Rhys9, nigs ill put you on the waiting list...ok
  7. your crazy Gav, these are nearly 1/2 price...2 for the price of one eh? good luck mate...these wont last long
  8. ive recieved money and sent looms to WhatBrake, Slik LA, OoskylineoO, BlackR32 and jaysee83. thanks guys still waiting for wrxkilla, PHA71L, 93 GTR...do you guys still want one?
  9. i believe the clutch spline is different for the Hollinger shaft. We run an OS in our 9 sec drag car (see latest HPImag) Award Gearbox and diff at rydalmere are the OS gearset guru's. Terry does our box and is very experienced with them.
  10. Either am i...i just dont go to bed...you have seen that all before
  11. If only my crank collar was that fast
  12. Im all for drinking and running amok but i get really shitty at the people who see this day as a piss up and gamble affair without at least attending one of the services during the day. where we gonna meet up??
  13. Yes well Croydons tried 2 different buckets on mine...so their are definately different types. Im sure the thicker ones we ended up going with were Tomei and im sure we sourced them from Hi Octane. Weird
  14. hey cool, i think you may have thought i was refering to 4WD which i wasn't. You didnt' contradict what i was trying to say, you actually backed it up albeit on a more indepth manner. See you at Superlap...watch out for the Red "R" Racing GTR with Luke Searle behind the wheel (this our 1st real go at circuit so will be a good learning curve)
  15. not vague at all...changed all the suspension back to HKS...easy. he's got a set of coilovers and wanted some advice...simple coilover adjustments = plenty stock suspension adjustments = none only a handfull of people in this country have driven a street import down the strip quicker than i have and i have been involved with a couple of cars who top (or close to it) their lists in the world. My ability to run 9 sec passes back to back within a 100th of a second with a manually shifted synchro box is something even the most seasoned drag racers find remarkable. Not blowing my trumpet but...Im a little qualified to make judgement. I know full well Gary's involvement in the drag scene years ago and respect what he has to say. What i stated for a RWD car is simply correct, and is something that his text agrees with. e battles make you look cool eh...thats why you had to get yourself involved.
  16. make sure he properly primes the oil.
  17. i gave him the set-up for a 2WD car....don't you read anything...you really are not as clever as you think you are i said " YOU want soft bump on the rear with hard rebound...and opposite on the front...this allows the car to WEIGHT TRANSFER on launch and hook up. Also bring the ride height up to allow more suspension travel." As i looked and saw he had a GT-t so i gave him the correct information to set it up with the suspension he mentioned and also gave him an alternative. Ive driven a GTS-t with stock suspension axle tramping down the strip so id say his coilovers would probably be a better option if they were not re-valved. My knowledge of why a RWD set-up does not work on a GTR was stated here.."i used to use 90/10 revalved stockers and all they did was make the front wheels come off the deck on launch. Very spectacular yes...good for my 60' times no. Put the HKS items back in and instantly picked up a 10th of a sec.to the 60' mark" I pretty much stated what was in your text box but did it in simple laymans terms so as not to confuse/bamboozle him. All due respect eh...my respect for you is very quickly diminishing
  18. it would have been a good idea to hang on to your Power fc for the initial run in period so it was a turn key engine on initial start up and run-in. After rings have bedded in id then look at doing the Haltech changeover. Who's tuning it?
  19. your igniter plug has worked loose due to the fact you did not plug it back in correctly when you did the plugs. Now your plugs are fouled due to trying to start it. Replace your plugs again and make sure the igniter plug clips home properly.
  20. everyone makes out, your not nearly as bad.
