Hhmm....I think i have more of a chance of being sponsored - see 2 extra doors to put brand names on, means more cash, means by the time you get into 10.2, I should be into 9's, ...that is if my calculations are right, say $10k a door, 4 doors, total of $55,0..........

I'm officially hooked. So busy tonight. I think I shall make that a regular occurance, lots of fun, even if I was one of the slowest amongst the skylines. At least I beat a rex. Gotta work on those launches. Cyas all there next time!

React 0.575

60ft 6.367

ET 19.375

MPH 100.45

Another enjoyable night at the drags.

There was a huge turnout and everyone seemed to get there early. Met a few new Skyline faces. Ran against Gester on his very first run down the strip he did a respectable 14.396.

A very nice blond girl in a very nice R33 pretty stock was doing 14.8's.

Steve....in between running up and down the staging lanes borrowing and returning helmets....managed a PB 13.2

Mick in the R32 did a 14.3 with a muffed 4th gear at 93mph...... that could have been his first high 13 :D .

I heard James did a 14.0.

I really must come to grips with this bl**dy clutch.....restarting the engine and heading off to the 60ft line at 1200rpm in seccond gear is never going to make for good ET's :)

I managed to get a best of 14.627 at 96.69mph for the night, although when my car was stock i ran a personal best of 14.483 at 97.11mph. The funny thing was that for my best run last night i turned the boost down to 5 psi from 10 psi and ran 0.2 of a second faster.

My new clutch seems to be the main problem (single plate ceramic with new flywheel and pressure plate). It was the first time i had raced with it and even when i dropped the clutch at 3 grand my car just sat at the line spinning the tyres. I've tried slipping it off the line but that doesn't work either. Oh well, looks like i'll be needing to invest in some slicks.

Ill talk TooQuik (white skyrhine which used to have a ding in the spoiler) into coming down, and giving you all a run for your money (or your cars).  Ill tell you now, by god that car has some grunt!  In fact im willing to put cash on TooQuik whipping any other R33 'rhine on the 1/4 mile.

So who's up for the challenge...Aye?

Ohhh please.....Are you this guys boyfriend or what? The car you're talking about is a stock Series 2 with a boost controller and a 400R kit....Hardly a car you should be talking up.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
