Hi Guys,

Here is another video I found that somone has took on the 9.7sec run from the hill at palymra,

The sound is just awesome Ben, LOOOOVE it! :D

That gear change to 4th was absolute lightning fast as well.

Yes 3rd to 4th was ridiculously fast with this ignition cut, hopefully when we take the car back out in 2 weeks time, we will be trying to flat shift every gear with no clutch. Plus alot more boost and timing.

Only got to see one of your runs at the king of the hill on Saturday. But didn't catch the times you ran. 9.5 something i thought i heard. Looked really strong. Was keen to catch up with you guys for a yarn but had to bail early.

Up until you guys came up I had the gtr track record up here in Townsville but you sure gave my 10.7 a fair touch up. Haha. Mine is set up for Tarmac rally though..

Top effort. Might catch up with you at prossie drift when you get that 13 finished.

Coop.

Yeah sorry about taking your record Coop my bad lol, there was suppose to be a meet on at Palmyra that weekend but it was cancelled, and we wanted to more testing before Jambo so we decided to come up to Townsville for a run. We ended up getting a 9.5sec pass @ 144mph with a 1.4sec 60ft. The track conditions were not the best put we were still impressed with the times considering we changed nothing to the car besides the rev limiter which was but out further and changed driving style. Looking forward to Willowbank to see what times we do on a really sticky track.

We did also have our first mechanical failure, but was to be expected poor old clutches don't last forever, so it has been pulled out and sent to Doug at NPC to do his magic. Which will be great to have a fresh clutch before Jambo. I will post up some vids from townsville when i get a chance.

Yeah would be great to catch up with you Coop may see you out drifting my 180sx is still gonna be awhile yet but when it is, gonna be freaking awesome fun.

Here's some pics of clutch that's had a hard life:

8.7 - 8.8 sec is the goal which is what we are aiming for a Jambo this year. A retune to 36psi + maybe a bit more (currently running 27psi), put rev limiter to 10500rpm (currently 9000-9500rpm) combined on Willowbanks Super Sticky Surface it will be very possible. Just from changing from Palmyra to Willowbank should give us 0.5sec gain straight up.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
    • Just yesterday the car started to shake a bit when idle. So tomorrow ima test the some wires and packs with the multimeter and see what it is. Hopefully is a pack because thats the easiest thing to buy same day here where I live in the USA.
    • shot myself in the leg and now last night I have shaking when I idle lol
    • I'm not a big fan of the Cometic gaskets either, as above the head and deck need to be like a mirror (can't remember the RA) so Kamieri sounds like a good idea.  FWIW a mate of mine hordes old motor stuff and has some blank unground Nizmo cams for one of these in his supply if random shit if you're interested.
