The Wasteland 2011 Edition

[Dohmar]

Thanks again to Madaz for the NPC clutch he sourced a couple of weeks ago for me - its rad...

Picked the car up with the 33 S2 box and clutch fitted and did a hills run to wear it in. Have to get used to just how firm and precise it is but I finally have all my power going to the wheels.

Winning.

You'll love it ben. Try some hill starts in both forward gears and reverse. My pedal feel changed overnight about the 700 km mark.

Not a bad idea at all!

Also kudos to Shaun and Will at Boostworx for not only getting the job done on time, but they managed to come in under the price they quoted, in spite of having to do extra work. Great service!

Nah its a 5 speed. Series 2 R33 GTR box (dual synchros tho). Still have many KM to make the gearbox lube up and unlimber. Every gear was stiff when I first started driving but now 3rd and 4th are feeling normal, 1st, 2nd and reverse are getting there, just need to shift in and out of 5th for a bit as theres a lot of pressure when I move the shifter to the right. I'm sure it'll go away in a while (box was stripped and cleaned in many fluids I dont even know the name of and reassembled with martini mineral oil used for the gearbox (not that blue shockproof shite!)

Box had to get converted from pull to push, thankfully BW has done it a lot and they have their procedure down pat...

Gadget Mans new sim frame

[JETURBO]

thats bloody wicked any more details

[Madaz]

yeah i was the fastest in it last (run) simulator event night

its as close to racing without being in a 100k+ race car

there is a weight limit of 90kg based on the seat actuators obviously he could put bigger in but then the build cost blows out

[Jap_star]

RIP Simoncelli, one of the most exciting riders to watch this year. live footage is pretty upsetting

[Matty 31]

such a shame

thoughts are with Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi too........they must be equally as gutted having been involved in such an unfortunate accident. 2 motorsport deaths in a week, such a shame

[heslo]

Totally f**ked. Get wrenching watching the footage.... not good at all

[Big Fella]

Sad sad day

I use Redline in Everything, the Blue smurf blood, shockproof isnt supposed to be used in gearboxes, unless specified(some front wheel drive cars ) , it will damage your synchros since it reduces friction so much the synchros smash . you need to use MTL or 90 weight Redline oil I dont know how many people dont listen to proper advice and blame a product for the failure.

call redline in oz, great people to deal with.

I use 140wt Smurf Blood in the aftermarket LSD. and it lowers the temp a lot and hooks up in a instant, way better then the nissan oil, or synpower crap.

and MTL on my trans,metal part of the shifter never even gets hot now. !!! and synchros dont clash as before , had synpower for a few hours before dumping that out
