yeah, at then end of the day its the stopwatch thats the judge.

nice videos. man shes abit louder now hehe also, i was studding the gearchangng. is there a revcut? also do you find going from 1st to second way harsher than anything else? (just getting to know mine now lol.) mayby its abit worn, but damn it sounds and feels like the diffs gonna come out of it when hitting first to second, not to mension the amount of force needed to push it in.

you guys use a shortshifter?

more superlap madness - Saurus R32 GTR at Tsukuba. probably a bit more like what Giant's car will be like than the all carbon fibre HKS Evo - that was pretty extreme!

OMG that sounds incredible

Awesome videos and time Russel.

All the very best in Jap.

Russell, can you post the specs of those wicked Ray rims? Did you have to do any modifications to fit the rims and tyres combo?

I use similar gears through the track as well...just at a lot slower speed than you guys :(

thanks for the support mate!! it is much appreciated! and really hope we get a good run at it and can show what the aussies can do!!

hey mate (9krpm) there the TE37's 18 X 10 1/2 ( I THINK + 22 OFFSET) and they fitted straight on!

our guards have been rolled before we got the car , i think they would touch otherwise also the negative camber front and rear helps tuck them inside the guard , but they dont rub at all. (they were bronze and we painted them black and had new decals made.

cheers russ

went out on for a quick test at qr today!

to check the belt alignment and an idler pulley setup we made to stop belt flap! all good

Mark managed a new PB on the clubman of 56.06 so really happy with that!!

hey russ,

to me, it doesnt matter where you finish. as long as you do, youve done more than most.

now, thats not to say you cant achieve more!!

the most important thing for me, personally, is that you are coming out here with the team and that fine machine you have built and are going to show everyone what it can do.

im proud of you just for that if it counts for anything...and thats before it even turns a wheel in anger...

lap times are important.

More important is the fact that you were here and were granted an opportunity to mix it with the best on their own turf and can no doubt hold your head up high.

Thats priceless my friend. ill be there with bells on. You can count on it.

I would have to work out the speeds for our gearing with what wheels were on it...but i normally hold fourth through turn 1 and 2....hitting about 220-230 down the front straight(in 5th) and just float between brake and accel between 1 and 2 and then depending on track into third or keep going and into 5th for national.

You guys must be going soon, or atleast the car being sent over. Good luck with it all mate, im sure you two are going to flog em!

i normally change gears twice per lap - lol

in 4th down front strait - go around 1 and 2 in 4th

then jump into 3rd before turn 3 - then go through the 2 S's and around the last corner in 3rd

and then into forth on the front stait again...

use to experiment with 2nd but yeah

3rd always seemed faster...

probably due to crap tyres and turbo pulls quite well in 3rd so yeah

PS goodluck in Japan and remember: HAVE FUN!! (that is after all what its all about!)

56 around the Clubman circuit is a Porsche bashing time and well into Sports Sedan territory, great work. Are you going to test at Morgan Park? Some different to QR corners there may help setup?

Anyway, best of luck in Nippon :)

thanks for the luck for Japan

We will be testing at wakefield park next week then straight in a container japan bound that weekend, so hopefully all goes well!

wakefield should really help us with setup with it's mix of corners (weather permitting)

cheers russ

what sort of lap time are you aiming for guys? Or just taking it as it comes?

umm well we are hoping for something around 57 or under, but not really sure.

the mines gtr r34 does 57's i think so something around there or under would be fantastic and a top 10 finish.

anything under a 60 will be pretty awesome. but always good to set the bar high. what date is nismo festival? I'm going to try and get a week off and head over. :)

these are the UK car's going over to compete aswell.

Get us one back from the rugby russ and smash them poms! :)

hey guys

BB i thought the race was on the 5th and 4th for practice but after reading the link shane put up(thanks shane top stuff!!) looks like it's on the 6th, i will be confirming tomorrow.

and your right Richard anything under 60 seconds will be awsome! :O

good to hear you will be there.

cheers russ

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
