Rb 30

Rb 26 head

Methanol

88mm Precision turbo

power glide

Four link rear end

The Car has nitrous to spool the turbo on the start line but it wasnt used on friday night.

So a pro tree would be no problem

What car do you have Zebra?????

And you are obviously not a drag racer because it dosnt matter if its a pro tree or a normal tree the timers dont start till the wheel moves past the beam.

Looks great for a first time out.

Although the timers don't start untill the wheel moves past the beam, the race starts as soon as the light is green so the other guy would be long gone.

As it is it would really struggle in competition unless they have a creeper on the transbrake.

I'm sure with a little NOS that'll all be sorted and it'll be fine.

Awesome job for the first time out, looks like easy 7s.

Robbie.

It's a bit of a shit go to judge the car's startline performance on its first meeting...

just saying that it took a while and that it would be interesting to see how it goes...most real big power turbo cars struggle...which im sure you know.

What ever dick head...and who gives a f**k what car I have, I could have a Nitro Funny car for all it matters...and no shit the timers don't start until the front wheels leave the beams.....so go back to polishing your "race car" and f**k off!

Zubra, there is no need to be so aggressive and fling insults. Your first post appeared to be very judgemental on a car that has taken years to build and one that runs 8.3 on its maiden pass (to be the 2nd quickest Skyline in Aus, I believe?). The rest of your posts have gone downhill even further.

Why does almost every drag thread have to descend into such ignoramic unplesantries so quickly? At least wait until the car's second meet :D

Now, back on topic. Awesome performance from Alex in the Birrong Automotive R33. Does anyone know if the car had any damage on Friday? Look forward to its next meet.

No damage just a loose converter so the box will be pulled out and converter tightened.

Car will hopefully be back for the sport compac meet in 3 weeks.

My car should be out soon. I have put the 19 s back on it and ive been driving it around a bit but i will get back to the track soon!

lol nice one hero.

Who is the key board warrior???...threatening to fight me because I called you a dick head on the internet. Take a valium dude, you need it.

NXTIME - It may have sounded judgmental, but it wasnt meant to be.

Its not like I said "That car is a piece of shit it takes 10mins to get on the stall and i'll smash dream boats cause they called me a dickhead on a car forum here's my ph #"

So in hindsight I should have kept quiet so the little princesses don't get their knickers in a knot.

You got my number call me f**ker im in canbera a fair bit.

And yes you should keep yor mouth shut.

neh....ill just have a good chuckle at your big man status.

I will laugh even more if the 7 million spam ad mobs find your number and send you 11ty texts everyday

not bad at all! 8.3 is awesome for a first time out. hell it's awesome for the 100th time out...

i'm sure there will be plenty more to come. it probably will be a bit of a challenge off a pro tree but the easy way around that is get into the burnout as soon as poss, don't run it too deep so you can back it up quick and get it into stage before the other bloke. once he starts getting into stage then get it up on the stall and that should be plenty of time to have it building boost and have it up on the launch limiter ready to go.

but i'm sure he knows all that anyway. there's plenty of little games you can play to turn the advantage your way.

as far as the insults and threats on both sides. try and keep them to yourself. it just makes both of you look stupid and adds nothing to the forum and in the end all that happens is you get banned.

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
