good work guys. should make a nice improvement with a functional gearbox and grippier tyres. i thought RSR's were quite grippy but with 350rwkw maybe they dont stand a chance, especially with axle tramp going on.

vids next time? :)

Nice work on the strip :-) glad its now proven that the turbos can trap the speed.

now its time for others to revisit their setups and their tuners.

Indeed, those trap speeds are much more like what one would expect from those power levels... for the sake of interest, what kind of blow of valve is this car running?

Well done stao and status - must've been interesting having it try to swap ends in 3rd or 4th on the strip! :P

Can't wait to get this new clutch in and get back to the strip.

What tyres are you going to run next? Some semis?

He's getting axle tramp as said which wouldn't be helping things.

Stao as reference if you aren't running pineapples already you should get onto it asap.

My S14 has pineapples and does not tramp at all, while friends who don't have the pineapples tramp like mofo's.

Yep, i agree... I had bad tramp and put the collers (dunno how to spell lol) and it made a HUGE difference....

Tramp is less about pineapples and subframe location issues than it is about damping. I agree, locking the subframe up with better/newer bushes and/or pineapples is a big help and probably a necessity, but I would always look to the rear damper settings/health as my main concern when trying to fix tramp.

GtScott: Would great if you can pass on a link to those pineapples. I will have a look into them.

Been recommended to Mickey Thomson 16inchs drag tyres. Will need to source that and a set of factory rear rims.

I took few video footages in bystander area. Will upload shortly.

Yep 11's would be my guess..... And yes locking the subframe made a huge difference on my car but doesnt mean it will on all cars :)

I'm thinking what happens if run a 1.06 turbine end on the G3. it should take away all the zappiness down low causing wheel spin while kicking in mid top range while the car's rolling at much higher speed.

Noob question. Quarter Time stands for taken completing the run. Does the car with higher mileage stands for a faster car after the completion of the track? assume if the run way is 1 full mile instead of quarter mile.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
