Well the good news is i've fixed my gearstick issue (genuine toyota parts :P) it prob needs a 500-1000km run to bed in properly but meh a nite at the drags should be just as good.

The bad news is.... i'm all out of excuses.... it's just me and machine now! So providing my visa card decides to start working again i'll be there just after 5pm

;)

Seems I don't even need to post my times :P

Did a 13.0 @ 112.9mph (1.79sec) still with gear problems. The clutch appears to be engaging even with my pedal on the floor (car is creeping forward at the lights, had to use my handbrake to try and hold it back). I'll try and get that looked at b4 next wed and head back out there again.

Still though, I did a new pb for 60ft, ET, TS so i'll be back again shortly :D

Hey Ben i was there watching you, i was with some people in the stand taking a break when you started and they were like hehehe he's missed a gear! but silently i knew you had troubles.

I was happy with my outing though, a 14.1 at 97mph stock except exhaust!

ben, it sounds like you have a hydraulic problem (possibly slave cylinder). I had a smiliar thing on the GTR. just enough of a slight leak so that it wouldn't push the fork far enough to completely disengage the clutch, which meant creeping, and difficult gear slection. a new slave is only about $70 from nissan and you can change it youself in about 10 mins. if you are skinny you can probably even do it without jacking up the car (needless to say, i had to jack it up!).

Yes it certainly has an issue, hydraulic or whatever i'm not sure but i'll be getting it looked at sometime hopefully before next wednesday so I can get back out there again.

I'm not resting until I see 11's :P

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
