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 havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • 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.
