Well had a good night, once i finally launched the dam thing! (thanks to 2RISMO)

I got 6 runs in the end

Best was a 14.0 at 100mph

Had 3 aims tonight: 1 - 2 second 60 foot - check

2 - 100mph - check

3 - 13.9 :) so close, but ill be back in 2 weeks.

R33vit - Sorry i didnt say goodbye but well done on your last run, new personal best :rofl: I was stuck on the line trying to find traction :D

Nice to meet some of you, looking forward to the next group visit at WSID

What do ya mean thanx to 2rismo, I kept telling you the same thing but you had to hear it from Adrian (Bahaha)

No worries man it was a good fun nite. Yes I did a 13.722 after granny shifting into 3rd @ 103mph. Need to change gearbox oil me thinks..

It was good to meet you guys and hope we can do it again soon.. Cheers:cheers:

Well wasn't a bad nite, decent turnout I guess. The chick on the PA was really digging all the Skylines so I guess we made atleast 1 girl happy. Speaking of girls being happy how about the bottomless chick on that motorbike eh? Hubba hubba mmmm :wassup:

I think either my clutch is on the way out, my tyres are spinning at the top of 1st gear or I need to learn how to change gears properly, smelt a little bit after each run :Oops:

I managed to do a new PB on my very last run (as little as it may have been).

Old: 14.184

New: 14.163

Nice run on the last of the nite BOOSTD (even if you did brake just before the finish line hahah).

I'll be a spectator for the next month or so whilst im getting some other bits n pieces looked at then i'll give it another go.

Well once again we will be pulling out the gear box out of OH WOW and repairing/replacing 3rd and 4th gears(again). This will now be the third gearbox rebuild.  

Looking at an auto now.

Seeing as though your so good at rebuiling gearboxes do you wanna replace the synchro's for my 1st and 2nd ? :wassup:

i remember a 33 running a 12 toward the end of the night. not sure who it was though. 2rismo or boostd maybe. congrats on the time

who's the lad i was talking to out the back with a 32 gst-t on 17psi? his times weren't to bad, getting into the mid 13's with some decent mph. the terminal speeds looked like the times could be a bit quicker still.

was good to meet some of the faces from this site!

ps jeans with no ass = :boobs: :wassup:

those who also saw the harley photo shoot know...

I think that was Kebab. He's doesn't come on here much. He ran some great times.

Was very happy with the results for the night. Ran a new personal best without the gas of 13.061 @ 108.19 mph and almost equalled my previous best with another 12.5. Using the gas off the line saw a new best 60' time of 1.92 :-)

Burnouts were the best bit. Worst part was going for the cash and red-lighting in my 2nd run. -0.070 Seven hundredths away from the cash :D

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
