It was an auto only tip. Basically I had one foot on the brake and the other stalling it up but the tip was to use the handbrake as well so as to hold it stronger. Got about 150 extra rpm which got me about 5 psi boost off the line.

I also utilised previous 2rismo tips in doing 3rd gear burnouts. Tyres were nice and warmed up although a couple of times when the burnout wasn't quite as big I found out how far down the track the prep went. Top of 2nd gear wheel spins anyone? It doesn't even do that on the street with my shitty Falkans.

the old hand brake routine, yep been using that one for a while, helped my sixty foots emensly, though its time to tighten it up again.

I think it was a low 1.9 but I got a high 1.8 on another run but accidentally short changed 1st gear and made up for that blunder by hitting the rev limiter in 2nd giving a crap time instead of what it could have been.

If I had known you were keen I would have let you know Brad. There was a few spare spots. I'll pm you if I see something come up.

I keep forgetting to bring the timeslip in to work to scan.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
