Already got my cams licence, so it looks like i'll be out there cutting laps :cheers:

i would but im not sure if car will handle it..

plus i need helmet, pads, oil cooler...

and hope the car lasts... needs a retune to 18psi.

You dont need to thrash the crap out of your car to have fun. I'll probably just run low boost and not rev my car past 7000rpm

So who's keen???? Anyone out there actually keen to come have a go at this???? Andrew will be bringing out his 400kw GTR and i'll be taking my car out to test out the new power. The costs are $100 if you have a CAMS licence and $125 if you dont. Well worth the money if you ask me, as its the most fun i've ever had in my car :P All you need is an approved helmet and long sleeved top and pants (non synthetic) and a car that works.

you know ill be there babe to see you and andrew fly around again you just need to beat 1.16 i think it was

were can i get a helmet from..

Just go to any motorbike shop if your happy with a bike style one, i use a dirt bike helmet cos they have a large opening and keep my face fairly cool.

you know ill be there babe to see you and andrew fly around again you just need to beat 1.16 i think it was

I need to beat a 1.25.00 and Andrew needs to beat a 1.17.00, we both have new mods and should be able to improve on our old times :P

just watched an old clip of the winfield gtrs at the lala - Skaife qualified with a lazy 1:08:98!!!!!!! Holy sh%t balls batman!! Maybe all the ballast they ran made them faster......

Got new shoes for the GTR yesterday - can't wait to try them out!

maybe the 5 bar of boost helped a bit to Andrew

I know the sierras were running 40psi from the commentry back then, from what I've read the 90's GTRs were only running 1.5bar (22psi) to make 600 horsepower at the flywheel (but were capable of 2 bar no problem): http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/23307-nice-track-skyline-r32.html

I know the '92 GTR's were severely handicapped with weight & boost restrictions, but I read somewhere (and I can't remember where) that the '91 GTR's ran approx 70psi, lol.

That link you posted makes alot of reference to a private vehicle owned by a Mike fella.

You could be right though....I couldn't be stuffed doing a search at the moment.

Pretty sure once all the local car drivers whinged, the boost was restricted to 1.3 bar and 100+kgs of ballast added. Yep - they still kept winning. Before that I think they ran up to 2 bar, but usually 1.5.

a cubic f**kton of hp thanks to 70psi of boost being produced by an antiquated turbo strapped to the side of a 2 litre engine and the putting it all through a h pattern box, locked diff and 8 inch wide tyres while left foot braking to keep it on the boil when you come out of a corner.

yeah, think that might just qualify as a bit of a handful. :(

haha, brilliant description Dave........I was picturing the old Sierras doing just that, as I read your post.

Because of the very famous Godzilla clouding people's thoughts and memories, people actually forget that they were a serious animal as well.

im out. clutch needs to be done, and im worried about that synchro issue after repeated high speed changes, probably wont do my box any good. sigh. next time.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
