The Drags just get everything moving inside. They take off with 6000 + horse power, At 0.9 of a second they are already doing 100km's an hour, the clutch slips and does not fully engage in top gear until about 3/4 track, when the tyres flare up the circumfrence is 3 metres so they only turn roughly 135 times to the line, and then it's all over in about 4.5 - 5 seconds. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD :)

read some of the facts about top fullers,next time your strolling past amanda sheppards top fueller,in the pits.its on a display board.some will make you think..wow.

Well if we had a total of 12 people coming it should cost $455 each, I'm sure each box is air-conditioned but i have not actually asked, I would assume though.

No worries, The SHIT you so would like to do sometimes is just not worth that comfort. But what i might do is pm everbody on the list and we can just meet either there or somewhere to cruise to the drags instead and enjoy the day!

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      By LegendGTR · Posted

      I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀

      Stock Airbox and Snorkle for RWC - VIC west

      Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By PranK · Posted

      This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
