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..........

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.

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.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
