Come on softy... he's only got 3.5 SECONDS and 100MPH on you!

would love to score a run with Victor Bray actually....that would be a blast.

Racing someone who you look up to with so much respect and admiration for would be awesome.

Would be akin to Duncan racing Jim Richards around Bathurst or Theo Wollett racing Theo Wollett! :laugh:

What day(s) are you racing at Willowbank on? I shall try and head down for some SAU moral support :)

2nd and 16th of Jan.

The Bray's are out of our class now but still quite a few 6 sec cars to race against :D

Would be good to see some support for the Nissan's. Hopefully Mark's car will be ready for the event on the 16th...full tilt at the world record is on the cards if we get it finished.

Good luck Paul, don't be scared to hold it flat!!!

:)

Held it flat...no clutch...broke 3rd-4th selector in the dogbox. :P

Box out on monday to modify/repair...back racing on the 16th. :geek:

Back to clutching it...at least then i can bring it home in one piece.

Need to purchase the uber expensive ex-HRT ignition cut gearknob and control box if i want to flatshift it. Until then its back to using the clutch to unload the drivetrain between gears.

Car is making huge power and sounds like an animal. The anti-lag blew a nice hole in my Trust PE-II exhaust on the dyno the other night while testing it. :)

Unlucky mate, hope you can save the exhaust at least! Did it part at one of the v-band flanges?

Good luck in getting it sorted for the 16th.

the hole blew out at the rear...right on the bend before the rear muffler....the bang wanted to go straight out not turn the corner and go out the rear.

the selector is a PPG billet item...will be re-engineering it to make it stronger. The box itself is a-ok.

HAHAHA NICE! 

thems the breaks!

yeah i always say..."if you can't afford to break it...you can't afford to race it"

I think there may have always been an issue with the box...ive only ever got one good pass out of it since ive fitted it.

Ill call Simon at PPG tomm. and see if i might be putting the wrong oil in it...just to rule that out.

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
