how do i post a pic??

Bit dark due to overcast weather, and zed is slightly ahead ? Good drag race, must do it again.

yeah we always use the clutch for up & downshifts, but you can do very fast gearchanges even with clutch use.

thanks cam! mark was real happy with the times, hope to see ya for dutton nsw (car looks like it's coming along good)

cheers russ

it's a bit hard to compare as most the classes for production cars but with fairly free engine and gearbox rules don't run road tyres, they run slicks. and the records list doesn't state what tyres any of those records are. something like prod sports, or nations cup etc is kind of there i guess, but again they all run slicks which would be a fair advantage.

wont pics before they hit the mag.is there s15 doing any runs ???

Yep black S15. Shane Maytom's car I don't have pics but sure to be some on Nissansportscarclub.org

how come you would use the clutch with a dog box? to make it last longer??

mainly for longevity, dog gears last longer with clutch use (dont round the corners off as much) especially with so much load on the gears with 4wd grip. and as snowy said helps if you miss shift too , which happens.

Holy Crap! 1:04! Congrats on the Awesome time! I only have to go 14 seconds faster next time :) lol :)

I think I will keep an eye on your timing equip next time giat to make sure it is not getting a help re times he he. Maybe some one is moving the timing equip as you go past. Are you sure you did a 1 min 4.1? That is messing with me now, you should not have done that as I can't sleep properly since.

Hey Richard (200) yes well as you know my car has a lot of GTR parts in it. Maybe I need to throw some more at it.

Don't under estimate the Slot Car though I have plans for a few tweeks in power and suspension and simple mods to sort out under steer and a few other things we are doing. Maybe I should get a front diff???

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
