i always though people had dog box's for clutchless shifting ? so no clutch air gap keeping you out of fourth

maybe also need some better quality hose clamps maybe wiggins clamps

Mark was constantly smashing the box when clutchless shifting...plenty of $$ overhauling it all the time replacing dog rings etc. So to keep the box in the car he has instructed me to clutch it...so i do...he's the crew chief and has plenty more experience with this stuff than i. He said maybe try 3rd>4th without the clutch but ill need to be more brutal with the stick not clutching it.

Hose clamps were the ones that came in the HKS kit...turfed them today and replaced them with the same ones Mark uses.

was speaking to JW today at work and said your new setup is very impressive. its good to see an 8sec pass is well within grasp :down: jambo is goin to be interesting thats for sure

JW...top fella...did he tell you that i snore harder than i drive...lol. Aparently i was still dozing hard this morning when he and k went to work.

Brad, ill see how this box goes. A Liberty is out of the question...an auto ?...maybe. I just want to race it for a while and enjoy it.

did it chip second???

9.5 is hooking

on the gravel out the back of the pits it did.

should have not tried 4th...if id left it in 3rd it may have gone quicker. Maybe the car has forgotten it has more than 3 gears...lol

Paul, curiosity has got the better of me, would I be on the right track if I said your Strange carbon brakes came 2nd hand via Adelaide? If so they were in my hands not more than a few days ago - as was the new set-up that replaced the Strange gear.

If I'm completely off track then feel free to forget I mentioned anything at all.

you couldn't be anymore on track. :P

Cool pic, but being 4wd would that suggest your suspension needs a lot of work? But then again your 60ft times are still good so perhaps you only need the 4wd after the 60ft to get the power down as the full high rom power hits????

Again cool pic, really need to get rid of that stripe though :D

We haven't even looked at suspension settings yet and i agree with your mode of thinking...a 4wd car 60's better when it sits a bit flatter. We picked up almost 2/10ths in the 60 with the low mounts getting the car to sit flat and just bob its ass a bit on launch. The coilovers have only been raised in ride height and still have the settings that we used at Superlap when we had them fitted to the circuit car.

The stripe is an advert. for Bodyform who did a bit of work on the car, Pete's a top guy and im happy to support his business and products. Although its a bit ricey its no worse than this one.. http://www.cnjmotorsport.com.au/images/gtr1.JPG

It also makes the car easily identifiable at the track as it stands out from all the other silver 32's

I think i may even wash it before Jambo...check out the thick coat of dust on it, especially the bonnet and roof.

Man you guys have well prepped tracks, very jealous indeed, well done on the pic mate, looks great, what 60s did you manage?

Edit, just saw you'd done 1.37, not to shabby at all :-)

Thanks Rob. Did a 1.38 the run before and blew the turbo outlet pipe off changing from 1st to 2nd...still ran 9.8

Mate it went 6.0 @ 114 to 1/2 track. What do you think it is capable of at that boost/power level?

Sounds really promising, great to hear!

Not taking the piss here (as you well know Paul) but are you using the launch control and anti-lag to full effect with the V88?

yeah we certainly are...the Vi-PEC anti-lag is killer.

Walk..you should have came over for a chat instead of being a 'hi-vis' face in the crowd. Mark has set the logger to automatically log from 3000rpm so we have some data there to look at.

maybe you need to up grade to motec data logging like an ACL as they have 1 gig memory as we did have a chat when you were loading the car !

really...you should have maybe introduced yourself...were you with Noel and Shane?

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
