Hi Guys,

Our Car is on the Front cover of HPI Mag this Month, Issue No. 142, Very good article from the guys at HPI.

Just an update on the car, Have been building a 6mm thick Scatter shield around the Bell housing on the GTR as any GTR owner would know there is very minimal room around the top of the gearbox once its in the car. Somehow we persisted for weeks to make this Guard. Just waiting for a Strain guage to turn up, and than we should be putting the engine back in the car over the christmas period. The Car will be going back to Mark Jacobson at Godzilla Motorsport for a check up and retune the car at 35psi around the end of Jan-Feb.

Here is the REG 4.9.7 out of the 2011/2012 ANDRA rulebook:- The use of a properly constructed steel, aluminium with steel or titanium lining, titanium bell-housing is mandatory for clutch equipped vehicles in top fuel, funny car, top alcohol, top doorslammer, Pro stock, and competition eliminator. All other clutch equipped cars running quicker than 11.00 (1/4 mile) / 7.00 seconds (1/8 mile) are required to use a steel, aluminium with steel or titanium lining, or titanium bell-housing or shield. Bellhousings certified to SFI6.1, 6.2, 6.3, will be acceptable providing the SFI spec matches the clutch assembly used. A totally Enclosing 360 Degree, one-piece bell housing must be formed or fabricated entirely from 6mm (1/4 inch) steel plate and attached directly to the rear of the engine. Where used, Flywheel shields must be constructed so they completely surround the clutch failure. The shield should be constructed from 6mm (1/4 inch) steel plate, and extend forward to a point at least 25mm (1 Inch) ahead of the flywheel, and 25mm (1inch) to the rear of the clutch and pressure plate. Shields must not be bolted to the bell housing and should attach securely to the frame/chassis. all the shields or bellhousings must be removed from the vehicle for checking during the technical inspection. An engine support strap made of steel or aircraft cable (chain not accepted) capable of supporting the rear of the engine in case of bell housing failure is required on all cars, unless it is evident that the headers or frame rails will prevent the engine from dropping.

Will upload some photos of the Scatter shield next week, it also added about 15KG of weight to the car,

I'm surprised that after 20odd years no-one has made an SFI approved bell housing for these yet.

Either way I am so glad my car is Auto because mine has even less room that the skyline around the bell housing...not that It will be running quicker than 11.00 for a while

Hi Guys,

Got some gear for sale if anyone is interested. All the prices are only for the items, postage is extra.

This is a 12/24volt Pre Lube pump with -12 inlet and outlet, can pump up to 60PSI. We used it as a safety backup if we lost our dry sump pump belt we had the pump kick in off a pressure switch. These pumps are $600 brand new and this one was used once, and we changed our setup due to new ANDRA rules. Im asking $400

Stillway Shifter used once, reason for selling it is a short shifter and is to hard to change gear with a straight cut dog box, but works really good in its concept. Would be ideal in a streeter/drag car. The going price is $600 it took quite a few months to source this item.

    • 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
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
