Third, but I wouldn't have the torque to get it moving in third unless I rode the crap out of the clutch. Your torque converter helps a lot with that. So that's probably close to what mine will run.

Yer kinda, it's only a standard stall ATM (and its really bad putting that much load on it as u can ballon it lol) so it literally wasn't even off the converter forever so it was just a pathetically slow half track followed by it weirdly starting to pull hard from half track. Would of looked messed up from outside, weird sounding skyline that only has one gear lol

Indeed very interesting. Join us!

I did last years drag day, my first and only so far. my car was dead stock other than a cat back exhaust, no mad weight reduction. best I got was a 14.3

Now that I've done the usual cheap bolt on mods I'd be very interested to see the difference.

Launching is key to a good run, especially in a stock car.

I'll see if i can find my time slip :)

Yours isn't the white r33 with the Lmgt1/2s on it that was roliling around at power cruise last year?

Ah ok man they shouldn't be to hard to find, just look for the yellow bloody 34 making all the noise/flames lol. But yer that'd be sick ill see how the day progresses its been over a year now since I was on track at a powerplay/cruise type event there. Was good fun lol (was also in a boaty old xd falcon with all the go and none of the stop/brakes/grip :thumbsup:

No that was my mate with that car, plates were HYPD UP.. Nice car made 450hp at the rears, motor was capable of a lot more though. He has since traded it. This is mine. Was at powercruise last year and powerplay back in FEB.

I'd give u a lift but Im not going and couldn't take u home, but if u spray hairspray on a pen stain before u wash it the stain will be removed easier so you see that's 2 non helpful things but one helpful therefore I beat zeke :P

Oh nice :). I'm in Petrie.

However, unless you change your mind about the lift home, or unless someone else offers me a lift home, I'll have to pass.

For a gobbie I can probably give you a lift home ;)

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
