Run out of nitrous of the 2nd lap??

RB26 cam covers (to be painted blue)

Mines style baffles

and oil restrictors :)

Depends how big of a shot and how often you'r on full throttle... I'd say a 75hp shot would last 15-25 laps at basky.

Who'd you end up getting the baffles from??

How long did it take you to get the indicator shot? Haha

well they don't flash at random so it wasn't very hard :P took me a while to get the exposure right to make it look good though.

Who'd you end up getting the baffles from??

I got the baffles from Boost Automotive, they had the best price and he actually had them in stock! Unlike everywhere else in the world who didn't.

Says captain combustible... I don't think you can claim ease of installation until you've done it without creating a fireball every time you turn a corner :P

HEY! The indicators work FINE!

It's those stupid LED lights that caught fire, so excuse me for thinking that some "heavy duty" LED lights could handle twice the voltage they're supposed to have closedeyes.gif

Lol.

Went to the drags today and got a 13.1 @ 118mph then broke my tail shaft :( It was fun while it lasted.

Videos and pics later :)

Ahh... memories.

It's supprising what times you end up with isn't it? Even the smallest amount of wheelspin or bogging on the line has a huge effect on overall et.

Most people figure.. hmm a 300+ rwkw 1500kg car should be good for 12's out of the box right? Ha ha wrong.

Looks like you had fun till it went boom anyway.

Single piece tailshaft?? Mine was fairly cheap from memory.

Justin.

*snip*

yeah, doing a 12 is a lot harder than it looks! Given a few more runs I think I might have cracked it. Maybe next time.

Getting a good launch, is hard! And nailing every gear change after that is not easy either. You can loose a lot of time just taking 0.01 seconds longer changing into 2nd.

I've pinched the drive shaft of Tim's R33 for now, I might look at a 1 piece later. The bit that broke was the uni joint closet to the gearbox.

snipppy snip-

Yeah, tell me about it! Try running a mid 10 with only 80 more kw and 200kg more weight!!!!

Ahh the 'parts car'

I've never heard of that uni going... maybe have a look at your engine/box alignment??

yeah Chris in the Blue R33 was a really nice bloke, parked next to him in the pits and we spun a few yarns.

Next time I'll be better :) the 2nd run was the most sedate launch in the whole world and knocked a whole second off. First run had a better MPH though...

Oh well.

Time to fix this got damn tail shaft.

A mate of mine in a blue R33 running 215x60x15 (i think) shit tyres with 320ish rwkw managed a 12.4 at just under 120mph

Yeah I've got some vids of that, he beat me twice -_-. Though ^apparantly is ~100kW up on me, so that makes sense :P

&

Also I think I've got another video of Zoids R33 and some pics to post when I get home...

Damn kids, crapping up my thread....

Pretty nice videos though, that camera takes some nice videos :)

I'm so amazingly trolled right now. I took out Tim's tailshaft and went to put it in mine and the f**ker is too long! it's 4cm longer than mine!! WTF?! HOW DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN?!

So I called up brother Ben at GT and he's going to sort it out for me, maybe one piece. I can't believe how cheap they are!

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh, so disapointed. closedeyes.gif

That was me driving in the top video, actually missed 3rd gear in that run so may have been a 12.1-12.2 if i got it right. I usually drive that red dunger R31 that was doing 11's @ 122mph last year.

The R33 went to symmons plains the next day, chris managed a 65 on road tyres for his first time at the track.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
