I am awake because i got kicked out of the hotel...it seems they take offence to the guy that does the door knock at 4am screanmng "Weak carnts, get UP!!!!! SARK PISS!!!!: so i am at an internt cafe waiting for my boss to come to my rescue and find me new accomodation

I think the first time Pete ran was like really shocking, 14s something, second wasn't much better for some reason. When he went back in for some fine setting with Al i think and came back out thats' when i left.

Saw the Stag with SAU sticker, good work mate, think he did like mid 14 and left for the day.

High light of the night has to be the GTR, bloody animal. It ran 10,4 on some skinny tyre by the glance it said RE7...something. Too many cars at Calder.

There were some absolute animals down there... I dont know what the names of the cars were but alot of old skool holden and ford muscle that were FAKING LOUD, consistent 9 and 10 second passes. The Dalton pro drag RX7 FD was there and ran a 7.9 :(

The OH Performance r32 GTR was did run an awesome 10 second pass. It's good to see a nice tuned straight six whistling off the launch and run similar times but soo much quieter than those big old loud holdens and fords :P

Peter ran a 13.6, then a 14.1, then finished up with his best run of the night of 13.071.... soo close to getting that much wanted 12 second pass. Nevermind, next time Pete :D

A couple of white MKIV Supras in the 14's :lol:

Yamaha R1 did a few 11second passes.

Thanks to TomG for helping me locate a bolt I dropped in my engine bay when i was fitting my air filter back on :lol:

And big thanks to Daz for hanging out and talking shit all night while perving on the talent :P

hahahaha Troy you're a clown. that's a pissa :lol:

Here is my thread in the Stagea forum,

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=101824

best was 14.7@92mph

Not too shabby if I say myself. Standard SS's and XR6T's were just not able to crack into the 14's, they were doing low 15's. So... there we go.

I got there about 5:00, had four runs by 7 and then left just as Bass just arrived as it was getting wayy too busy/cbf'ed running more times...i knew what my beast was capable of :P

Oh Okay.

A report

Well, it ws super busy at Calder.

First run, did a 13.6 with like a 2.5 60ft. The track was soo much grippier than I though. 1.6 mph Launched at about 4000 rpm

Second run, blazed it on the launch, to many revs at about 6000. once it hooked up, I got that mad rush of crazy acceleration you get when you are at full boost, about 5000rpm and silly silly grip levels.

blasted down to a 14.1.... but at 112 mph!!!!

Third run, I did a 2nd gear 7000rpm clutch dump burnout. Then got off the line with about 5000 rpm on board, almost let the clutch out to fast and bogged down but a little jab kept the revs up. Ran to a 13.3 at about 106 I think.

Fourth and final run, another 2nd gear burnout (from which I could later smell some serious clutch burny burny smell) and a reasonable launch again with that good traction feeling.

Ran to a 13.071 at 108 mph.

All in all, I hate the world. I will be going back to Calder at some stage this summer to run my 12 goddamn it!

I watched as several big v8s, ran 12.4 - 12.7 with trap speeds of like 109, so there's mid 12s in my car somewhere, I've just got to give it the right shoes!

Brisby. I ran street tyres. Couldn't be arse picking your wheels up after the shinanigans with the Lada!!!

Ill Be Back

BASS OUT

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
