my best was 14.4 i believe - didn't get the timeslip tho as that was just b4 it started pissing down... Guess it was better than the other GTS-T's :) so can't complain too much.  

Those 225/50R16's didn't help much - next time i think i'll just use my regular street 17"s

we have video footage Gordo so we can confirm the time and let you know your 60ft and TS!

was a good day for cruising and socialising but the drags were a little a bit of a disappointment for me...track was too wet IMO...bastards used me asa guinea pig for the first run of lane 2 :rolleyes:

hehe.. cool - i am curious, because that is the better one :) even if it was dodge..

haha - dale the track guineapig.. i remember that when they chucked you there right in front of me thinking "he can't be too happy with that .. the first one in the slippy lane" :rolleyes:

I got to see the "RH9" up close, nice car but the guys were a bit *on edge* I think... Not sticking up for them but they have invested a lot of money into their cars...

I was pissed off so many people were so close to my car - including a lot of non-sau people, I was just trying to cool the engine down before the first run and every con, vic and gary had to poke their fingers into the engine bay...i am already paranoid enough and I dont want my fcucking car scratched :rolleyes: let alone something damaged vindicatively...bah just left it at home next time :)

anyway, helmets are a real pain in the neck [no pun intended], cant feel the car and cant hear jack...then some rotor or 80's falco next to you doing burnouts at 130db just makes it easier - not!

as i said it was a good day, just not for drag racing :rolleyes:

jet took some vided footage in-car during my chap laps, should be interesting...I think you are talking about my mate with the camera though INASNT ?

we got almost an hours worth and are chopping it up today...

jet himself probably got a fair bit in addition to this?

True i can understand that too. I guess when you get other guys who are running great times and and are more than happy to show thier car to you and tell you about it.

I think that's being PROUD of your car, wanting to show it off to everyone!

I agree with you ash, they could have been a lot nicer to fellow skyline enthusiasts...

I think the *pro's* take it all a bit too seriously and have lost sight of the fun of it, in their game of chasing numbers.

I would have had more fun with my car pefrorming *like it does on the street* but s*it happens I guess.

I am keen to go down to calder too but I know its very busy down there...they need to open up another drag strip i think :rolleyes:

1/. You were all there (at the track) because I let you. We had booked the track months in advance for the whole weekend - it turns out that it was double booked, we were asked by Russell if we'd mind a test and tune running on Sunday as he didn't want to disappoint so many people. I said "no problem" - as long as we can run when we need to.

2/. Some smartass came in earlier in the day and started to snap photos whilst the engine bay was open - directly of what he was asked not to take - the cooling system. He is lucky he left with his head intact - because of him, everyone else was told to keep away. A plain case of one dickhead that we were nice to ruined it all for everyone.

3/. We were pissed off. It was going to rain, but we thought we would limit our runs to give other people a chance - so don't tell me we are assholes because we had forsaken our track time for most of you.

And you wonder why the hell you get treated like you do? I will never allow the car to run when others are at the track - end of story.

Mario.

I stood off to the side and had a conversation with one of the pit crew form Marios camp and he was very willing to talk to me about how things were going, I and some of the things that had happened over the weekend with the car (Track wise) I for one did not want to get in their way and dont believe they should be getting the flack that they are. If you have a read of Marios site you will understand what type of weekend they had.....

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
