Yeah you can just have to let them know at scrutineering.

With the power you have now I dont see why a LOWWWW 12/ high 11 isnt possible.

And pay an extra $40 for the 2nd driver.

Did anyone go?

I take it Troy, you are not coming to GOR :O , weak.............................

I was there, there were 3 GTR's, a silver 33 which done a 12.020/114mph, a white 33 with a 12.6/109mph and a bayside blue 34 (plates GTRR) with a 12.3/113mph.. Two gtst's in the 14's and the usual v8's vl's etc...

No Brisby though.. :)

I wouldnt mind taking my gtr with street tyres, last time i took semi slicks. I'll see how things go during the week. Jack, I want to see you do the 1/4 mile in ur car mate :D

I get heaps of people asking me to take it, although I'm reluctant coz of the fact that its not setup for drag and I'm sure I will break the gearbox. I did a 11.6/119mph with the T517Z turbo setup (315rwkw) with Hankook street tyres back in 2004, so with current setup 350rwkw and semi comps it should be good for a low 11...

We'll see, if I do decide to go, there will be no 7500rpm side step clutch launches, as I value the gearbox and clutch, I would be more interested in what mph it would run.... ;)

Im very keen to run the quarter very soon for some GTR vs GTR action, and after having me car tuned 2 weeks ago im eager to see how it will go.

Hopefully mates will get their asses into gear soon enough!

Hus you would be suprised, but you Possibly could run a better time on street tyres.

With the slick on, did it get a lot of wheelspin, or did it bog down, or have very little spin?

When I get my Best 60 fts, there is always a little more wheelspin.

Well, just got off the phone with Calder and they are booked till the end of this month. So April onwards should be OK at this point.

Do people have any preferances on dates, or any dates they can not attend?

My can't do list:

6/4/07: Easter weekend

13/4/7: (maybe) Possible driver training day, the next day

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
