the prob isn't really the shift point (for me anyway) - changing at 6,500 isn't too difficult.. its just the first few metres.. when u can't tell whether ur tyres are really just spinning - if u lose a second on takeoff then thats teh difference between say a 14 and 13s time or 15 and 14s time

yeah traction was a real prob......had 3 runs first launchin at 3k....bogged bad, 2nd launch at 2.5k still bogged, 3rd launch at 2k was the best i could do but buggered it up by stickin it in 5th instead of 3rd, im sure it would have been a good time too. most of the skyline peeps had traction probs when throwing it into 2nd with the back kickin out...ask dj lethal:D

is your car the only car in your family??

or do u just drive it on your p's and try to avoid the police? heh

Nah its not the only car in the family. actually i cant drive it anymore, coz i got pulled over and have a warning under my name. Apparently if im caught driving again 2 year loss of my license. So i dont drive it out on the streets anymore, just at events like this to get my fun out of it... My car, but cant drive it. ITs so tempting while its in the garage to take it out, but i gotta hold my self..They got there eye on me the :shake:

yep i got 13.08,  didnt do well as i did at Calder. It was either the clutch or the track, i think my clutch was slipping..not quite sure though gotta get it checked. had great fun, would love to do it again some other time as bunch again.

i was watching you,i thought ur clutch was slipping.

13.08 im assuming its pretty stock.huh.

i was hopin to have my 34 at the track today,but dyno gremlins struck yesterday arvo.

Congrats on the times guys its not as easy as everyone thinks last yr when i went i thought id crack it into the 14's easy walked away wit a 15.4@90mph this yr after some practice i managed a 14.6@93mph last week

Not bad considerin all i got is, 3" exhaust (excludin dump pipe), pod filter and 8psi, oh and did i mention its AUTO !

yup, thats not a bad time there yogi for fairly stock..

sometimes when u up the boost/power tho it just gets more difficult in a skyline as traction becomes hard. I still don't quite know how those guys manage to get mid to high 12's in cars with the same mods as mine - i don't think i am *that* bad a driver ;)

I mean the track can make a big difference.. i mean just today was a prime example .. not many of the SAU cars with the one or two mods got below 14 - and i think a lot of it was due to track conditions.

Mr_fanny you only done it once I done it bloody three times I thought there was something wrong with my car and when I relised what I was doing I pissed myself laughing all the way back to the line up area. I am putting this one down to a bad experiance, if I do those times next time I am taking myself out the back and shooting myself

Hi guys..

Well.. that was soooooo much fun.. i loved it!!!!! :)

Nice to have met some new pplz... And good to have met you finnnnnally INASNT!

I didnt know how i would go..

Damn i was nervous and excited at the same time! Very daunting when everyone is watching you... and it made it worse.. cos im a girl..lol all the guys had this "what the?!?!" look on their faces..lol

I only got 3 runs in.. next time im making sure i bring a helmet...Thanx for lending me your helmet Gordo!! :)

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • 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.
