12.45, I'm over it. Tool time....and tuning needed.

Managed to burn out mates stock clutch in his ca18det 180sx!!

Got a 1.9 60' and 14.6, 3rd gear slipping because clutch was fried.

I'll help him change it, I'm not that mean.

Anyway, a few other skylines out tonight at the creek, and no problems for most.

One r32GTR ran a 10.9, and sounded mad.

A stock black r34GT-t manual ran in the 15's, and a handfull of r33's and silvia's.

At least the weather held up.

Yup very packed last nite due to a few reasons.... a falcon dropped about 398m's of fluid, it was bike nite (about 60 bikes, omg i'd rather watch paint dry) and last Wed + Fri were rained out so that plus school holidays every p-plater in his mirage wanted to run 17's.

Blitz didn't show (smart move).

A few quick VL's in the 9's (Rigoli) and also an r32 gtr did a 10.9 with atleast 1/2 sec more in it (bat launch - looked like it had crappy 17" street tyres). A few other low 11sec gtr's too.

Omg I hope those stunt bikes aren't going to be a regular thing, their is only so many times u can watch a guy do the same trick on a motorbike (did I mention I hate motorbikes?).

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
