Another great night. Managed to slice .35 sec of my previous best to get a 14.181 @ 96.67 with a 2.162 6ft. Quite happy with that considering I was still running 36psi in the tyres, can't bring myself to let them down yet. Alot of familar faces out there too. Can't wait till the next Wed test'n'tune!

I was just comparing terminal speeds with the temperature and it show some interesting things ie;

Temperature (deg C).............Terminal Speed (mph)

17.......................................96.32

16.......................................96.67

16.......................................97.28

15.......................................97.11

14.......................................97.30

13.......................................98.08

I wonder what the KW increase is for every 1 degree drop in temperature?

Hopefully next time out i'l be driving and get more then 2 runs. Was a very good night though. I might even have my car out. Should be tuned and Boosted. major grins then!!!!

Steve, there was a V8 Brockie out there doing 12.6's at 109mph... you've got some hope yet!! BTW.. I have video footage of you efforts on my computer if you would like it ;) Very impressive! I'm guessing the misses wasn't there!! ;)

I ran a personal best last night as well of a 14.38 at 97mph. I was pretty stoked. Most people know how long I've tried to get that car below a 14.4!!! If I hadn't stuffed up the first run, I reckon it would have been lower than a 14.3.. *glares at accelorator pedal* .... I even tried one of those burnout things for the first time :burnout: ;) *hides* But I got shown up big time by a grey 180. But I've dicussed a story with MRE that I was actually driving the 180 and we swapped back cars at the stagging lights.. Ok? :uh-huh: It's "OUR" little secret!

I had fun. I decided I would go out and race it seeming all the problems are fixed at this point in time.. till something else breaks.

In the first run I raced FST32... I want to forget that run :sob: .. Don't know if he's on the forums here, but Hi!

Also, while I was sitting in the pits listening to an RB powered 180 (very sweet :drool: ) .. I heard them talking about the Skylinesaustralia forums. Was this anyone here, or was it someone we don't really know?

I had fun anyway. Wasn't such a fun day at work today with 5 hours sleep :drops dead:

the reason why the times were so slow and speed was so fast was I was trying out 400R's Bridgestone 'Grid' something 205/55 16's which had been sitting in his garage for near on a year and were cheap and hard

For all the runs I started in 1st gear, I had too much spinning in 1st and 2nd gear - I resorted to practising the art of tire warming and 2nd gear race starts

After that last warm up, the tires were down to the metal band and the rest of the tread was smearing like glue - but it was well worth it!! :) :) :)

Erin - I would love to get hold of that vid off you sometime - you coming to sprints tomorrow?? I am hoping to end up running 12.8's with good road tires and after fixing boost drop 8-(

yeah i went up to willowbank also. First time out at the track and i got 4 runs in total. Best was a 14.09@100mph. I am happy with that although i would like more traction 1st n 2nd but i had the best time. Very enjoyable pitty i got lined up with that chevy camaro with the big block in it which when racing me ran a 12 flat. And also a orange vk which ran a 12.8. So i was abit shamed out especially on the burnout sides of things. But i enjoyed myself alot.

Erin I'm expecting a 14.15 on your next time out

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
