Yeh I saw it and its not ment to drag race its from G-Tech and the car has balls its a handful i see him come down the street near my work an i bet most peoplke would have a hard time driving it as when it hits boost its all over the road. I was surprised on his first coupling attemps that he was not all over the strip, in my books he is a skilled driver to keep that thing straight

I just got back from heathcote. Ran my GTR. Only 2 runs.

First 13.3@108mph, Second 12.8@06mph

Car is stock, besides catback exhaust & hks air filters

how come you only got 2 runs? were there heaps of cars running?

normally should get alot more than that!

Is there a 1/8 mile track in Mildura?

I remember my first attempt at calder. Pretty intimidating. Racing a 12sec 1930s hotrod, open exhausts. couldn't hear my engine. could only took at the tacho to see if it was still running!

Actually, there were only around 8-10 cars racing :D I didnt see a need to race anymore, 12.8 is pretty much the best the car can do with stock boost, and just catback exhaust. No need to stress it out anymore in my opinion.

Nothing to be intinidate about...just let this noisy bloody things hammer off down the track while you sit there and listen to your tunes...When they have cleared the 60ft then let it rip. The noise thing from open ended pipes and V8s makes it hard. But i find you forget there are ppl around when you start to concentrate. You almost zone out

my first ever run was a against a 33 GTR that almost broke into 11's....12.1 or 12.2 i beleive he ran...

i honestly paid no attention to what he was doing, and im certain he paid no attention to me...everyones there to beat their own time, and rarely racing the car next to them....dont be intimidated...sure i was nervous for my first run, but once i hit the finish line, i couldnt wait to run again!

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
