15:28PM: [email protected] 1.956 60ft

First time down at the drag strip with M/T Street Radials and they were brand new, couldn't do a decent burnout so the first couple of runs couldn't get traction or bogged down, but by the end of the day the 12's started coming out when i learnt how to launch properly.

I won both my bracket races by default LOL, because both the cars i raced false started :unsure: guess i'll get a FREE wednesday night pass BONUS!

Had a great time and thank you to all those that organised shame about the weather though.

I had a couple of 4WD problems that needed to be sorted out, plus a 3rd gear selection problem. Attessa needed to be bled, and the HKS ETC system needs a lot of 'tuning'. On every run, I would either bog off the line, or wheelspin through first and second, and then couldn't engage third gear properly. Still very happy that the car got down the track in once piece as this was the first time I have driven the car after the build.

Thanks to Adam and the V8 Owners Club for a great day.

Congrats to all the new PB's and that it went smoothly, without the problems of the last SAU WSID day. :unsure:

So did any of you guys beat the ZED?? I heard ZX2NV ran a flat 12 sec pass, not bad for a barge! Anchors away.

Adam, you have now driven an LS1, are you coming over to the dark side???????

Peter.

That thing (his tow car for the rest of you) can just about do burnouts without going over 2000rpm :unsure::P but.... no. hehe. I like the roundy roundy too.

i couldn't beat it, didn't expect a 12flat from it i've got the other side of that time slip when it did the 12flat i ran 12.7 for that run :unsure:

Had a great day, post the nerve killing first run. :unsure:

Couldnt of done it without my pit bitch....Hi 5 Liz!!

Yay for Stormin Norman's launching lessons

Thanks to Adam and V8 guys

anytime for a member of the three letter name gang

hi5!

How'd the NBP crew go?? Malecki?

who are NBP?

Thanks for a great day guys... just wish the rain held off a little longer!

Chubbs... I think my best time was a 14.01 something... First run of the day on street tyres Lucas did a 13.201 - third slipped a bit though!

Lucas was runnning in the low 14's after that also - worked out that the pin to the master cylinder that we made was a smidgen too long.... hence 2nd & 3rd was slipping..... didn't get a chance to test it out heaps as the clutch was only finished being installed late Saturday!

We put the semi's I had lying around on after the lunch and he ran a 13.3 (clutch was nice & cold!)... Heading back down either this wednesday or next with the clutch sorted and some MT's.... hoping to crack the high 12's.... (with Lucas driving.. I just want to get in the 13's!)

nice Anna!

I may head out next week also!

:unsure:

Links...love that last shot of my car with Lucas "warming" up the the semis... I made him put them on cause he was killing my street tyres :P

DJ Brave.. where are all your photos??????

was a great bit of weather for racing, except for the rain. it was good to see charlies car running, and I've no doubt it's going to be insane when it's sorted. I was just happy for a chance to take the car for a run and catch up with some of the guys I haven't seen in a while. congrats to all those that entered.

What happened to you and Stace and Twoogle, Paul?

awww.. can't believe they didn't make it, but at the same time i'm glad i didn't miss twoggles debut :D

im testing out a new fake RWD burnout system for FWD, my target market is honda drivers.

    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
