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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
