Well Ben - you can add my very ordinary effort of tonight.

R/T = .479

60' = 2.528

330' = 6.113

660' = 8.872

mph = 91.66

1000' = 11.178

ET = 13.118

MPH = 116.89

Km/h = 188.12

Must be able to do better then that - me thinks the driver needs more practice. :(

I'll scan the timeslip later - but you saw it.

hey b-man you wanna run :(

still at least your trying and the mph is good ;)

practice practice and practice

it would almost pay you to bring your car down to calder for a friday night you could get around 10-15 runs @ least if you try hard enough and the car can hack it now thats what I call practice

meggala

I know exactly how you feel Brendan ;) It's all part of the learning experience mate. I've had a drag meet where I started out with a 13.943 @ 117.35mph. In a way it actually makes you feel even better when you do finally nail a good one.

Gotta say though mate, you really suck at getting off the line :(

91.66mph at the 1/8th is very promising though. To give you an idea I had the following numbers on a 91.91mph at the 1/8th:

60' - 2.090

330' - 5.651

660' - 8.377

MPH - 91.91

1000' - 10.739

ET - 12.690

MPH - 119.12

My best numbers are:

60' - 2.143

330' - 5.492

660' - 8.188

MPH - 90.48

1000' - 10.531

ET - 12.473

MPH - 118.34

As you can see from my numbers above, it's a fine line between wheel spin and bogging it down. In the top run I had a good 60' (2.090) but then it light the rears up at about 70-80' and I lost out on ET. In the bottom one I came off the line slower and got better grip and therefore a quicker ET but lost out on top end MPH.

Yeah - I SUCK at getting off the line - It's much harder that you think hey.

If I give it too much, I seem to either wheelspin, back off and bog down - or the clutch slips (yeah still slipping on high boost)

That run was on low boost - high boost is slower (13.6) MPH is 117 -

I'm sure it is all driver related though.....

I was a bit disapointed to be honest - but hey practice make perfect :(

Hahaha... how hard can it be to go dead straight (well most of the time) for 400m? It's easy! Not when you've got a turbocharged engine that comes on boost like a mofo!

Keep at it mate. In another meet or two you'll have knocked 0.5sec off at the very least. You'll probably go mid/low 12's @ 120mph within the next two meets. And then when Brett gives you a shot on the Nittos you be into the 11's @ mid 120's. :(

He he - yeah me too - I had chronic axle tramp when trying to do a burnout - I think good suspension would help with the launches and traction -

But hey - it's easy to blame the car when most likely is the driver in my case :)

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
