They obviously don't have too much mechanical simpathy in this magazine... "for 11s, hold the GTR at rev limit for 5 seconds and drop the clutch". Ouch! Otherwise, it's not a bad read... I'm interested to see Ignition DVD again when it has the next installment of the Tskuba trip of the Hi Octane GTR :laugh:

Did anyone else find it a bit weird them saying you only need 230rwkw out of a GTST to do an 11 second pass? Has anyone ran a 11 second pass with only 230rwkw?

I do know someone who had an R33 GTST with 210rwkw and ran a best of 12.0 with just a little wheelspin. Then, on what turned out to be his last run of the night, he hooked up really well off the line only to break a non-genuine uni joint!

did anyone catch the american r33 gtr on the ignition dvd. 1000hp of goodness and boy does that thing go. check out the in car shot when he dumps it on the street.

P.S. Blitz, your car is a absolute stunner. well done :)

can be - if ur running front runners and Mickey Thompson or the like on the back

i know of a certain 33gts-t that has around 550rwhp and ran 11.4

one of the only times he ran MT's on the back he nearly sent it sideways into the wall

reason it doesnt run quicker is boosts too late (full boost by 4500rpm with *i think* 8000rpm rev limit)

anyway - gonna have to try to get the mag 2morrow then hey

I love getting the free ignition dvd each month.

The female hosts are stunners!... although the present one and the past one both look the same!!! I think they even have the same name and initials if I recall correctly; Kirsty Allen & Kirsty Ambrush ?....

Only thing is, I seriously question how much they both know about cars, other than just being a pretty face.

    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
    • Looks fancy But after having a look, prior to its installation, I noticed that the yellow looking power steering reservoir would look crap next to this So I have this incoming..... Much cheaper than the Moroso and has great reviews (yeap, it's a Moroso knock off)
    • Can we place bets? My money is on there is always the option to use the 1 way profile. So the diff is either 2 way and 1 way, or 1.5 way or 1 way. 
    • I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
