Tell you the truth I thought it was shit. I knew the other guy was a VE v6, and it was line ball right to the end. I thought I'd only go 14.x

Wasn't as fast as other runs, because I think I held 3rd too long. Was shifting at 6k, because there is no more power over that, I was into 4th every time before the line.

Alex, how did you find manually shifting? Was there much delay in getting the next gear?

Mine seems much slower changing in manual mode compared to how hard/fast it slams thru in auto under wot.

It's pretty much instantaneous Leon. Only gear I have to think about is 1-2 which feels like a 500rpm lag. Other than that it's pretty much on the dot, say 200rpm. That's the benefit of being able to adjust the torque management tables in uprev.

Its also a product of the Transgo kit as you guys know.

Where it doesn't drop into gear is when you are on part throttle or light throttle, and if you are using manual, it will take quite a while to pick up the next gear. I could tune this out, but it would mean slightly harsher shifts on auto which really there is no benifit. If you put your foot down, then it shifts up when you ask.

Yeah, 13.84 at 99.98......FUUUU.... Wish it said 100.

Funny enough, my 14.8 single spinner still went over 100mph. Was in rwd. Will go back in awd fr some launch action.

As weird as it is wheel spin normally helps with mph even tho u run a slower time

Well, today I got the front shaft back in, just in time for it to be raining in Sydney for a few days which is nice.

Also had an impromptu Castor bush fitting session, after Jetwreck decided they were flogged out and I needed new ones! Has made the car a fair be more pointy in the front end, and decreased some of my NVH.

Ah, and had a look down a fujitsubo compared to my Nismo exhaust today while they were next to each other- very different in the rear can. The Nismo has a single pipe through the rear can, that ends in a 2.5 inch or so single outlet that leads to the twin tips. The Fujitsubo on the other had splits into two sections almost immediately in the rear can, and continues through to the tips. So there you go.

Today I went for a front and rear alignment at heasmans in south Sydney. I've had work done by them before, and while they are not the cheapest, their work, and experience and the cars they work on are all top notch.

No print outs, as it was done manually, but I had a little camber taken out of the rear, so it's now about 1.5 degrees, and rear toe in was reduced from 7mm to about 2mm. This has reduced the jumping round feeling I got from the rear under really short sharp bumps. Everything else was just about perfect.

Thinking about heading back out the drags in the near future with awd to keep these pesky little 2.5s at bay...

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
