Well... went to the drags this arvo... had a lot of fun :)

Ran a 13.9 @ 101mph (2.2 60') on 9psi with a misfire issue between 4-5rpm. Not to mention an exhaust manifold gasket leak...

... which got worse on my last run so I had to bail.

This is without the AFC or anything....or the rest of the exhaust done yet.

Next time I go down I'll have an AFC installed and Tuned, A dump Pipe, and a de-cat-de-centre muffler pipe also.

I dont see a 13.5ish being out of the question. There is plenty more go left in it I think....

Some good results for bully, and GOT BOOST and Lagwagon also :(

Oh yeah, and the track was slippery as hell.... had wheelspin most of 2nd ugh! wonder how much better the time would be with more grip?

But now, I need an exhaust manifold gasket to suit the RB25. Anyone know the type/model number and where I can get one from ?

good mph. I ran my 33 last night at willowbank. Ran a 13.56@100mph. only got boost controller, 3 inch not got a dump pipe, and k&n pod. im happy with the time and no doubt that u will get into the low 13's dude just gotta hook up right off the line. I went down to stock wheels for the meet and when i ran my best time it hooked up well just abit of spin into second. Its all in the launch matey ive learned that. Good luck anyhow

Yeah, i was dam suprised at such a good time, but could only run 9psi cos the misfire would get really bad!

and Yep. Lowered tyres to about 22-23psi....

... then dumped the clutch at 3grand off the line.... f*ck slipping it, i got worse times that way!

my clutch screwed up on my last run. I ran a 13.98@83mph lol

weird had to roll down to the very end and was stuck there for awhile. turned the car off put it in gear started it up in gear coz i couldnt select a gear with the car on(no peddle) and then drove up the return road got into 3rd using no clutch pushed in the clutch while still accelarating and it went clunk and came good??? How bizzare but now i just went to the drift day today and on the way up it was slipping badly on the highway. 3rd n up just slips :)

Kym, Well done, I knew that car was much quicker after seeing it on the last cruise, but there will be plenty of improvement with some of those bugs fixed.

Got Boost, Excellent time mate, goes to show that the RB26 conversion was well worth it, and I'm sure there is plenty more left in it when you decide to push it harder:D

Interesting day to say the least, Track was like ice, the return road had more grip in it. Got a best time of 13.05 with 2.3 60ft at 113 mph so the mph is 3 mph better then my best et, with 60 foot being .4 off my best, so there is a mid 12 in there somewhere.

On my Second pass throw it into 3rd, add power, and tail end decides to go wall ward at 130-140 kph. Interesting stuff indeed

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
