Good to see you down there Davo , slippery as shit alright. :thumbsup:

well this is not what I was hoping to report, but not completely unexpected....

did a couple of very average runs, nothing but wheel spin off the line, was to pussy to torch the clutch :no:

1.9 & 2.0 - 60 foots, 11.7 & 11.9 both 126mph :/ being nice and gentle on the gear changes to the point it was fulling off boost between gears :mad:

So turned the boost up and went a bit more aggressive on the shifting, and destroyed 3rd straight away :whistling: I wasn't too shocked with that result...

managed to limp home with no third and what sounded like someone shaking a can of nuts and bolts under the car, so that gearset will be completely stuffed..

anyway altho not the best sample group, it doesn't look like the shorter standard 1st is any quicker out of the hole than the longer OS 1st, but there are too many other variables, don't know if it was the track last night or what, but I get better hook-up on the street, at barbs and pretty much everywhere compared to motoplex last night..:yucky:

Ouch mate thats a bit of a bugger. At least you were able to get it home.

My times were shocking,m as i later found out that my boost was spiking then falling away at the higher revs. Start with 12PSI go through the line at 7 :angry: . Fail

Consequently all i managed was a 14.4 second pass. Not great as when i went down last year i was pulling 13.8's all night.

1.9 60 foot time is average for a GTR? o.O

here i was thinking i pedalled it well! :unsure:

I didn't see any R34 GTR at the drags last night ??

Or was that a dig at my 60 foot ? if so, I realise 1.9 is not flash, :closedeyes:

the track was prepped yesterday and looked much grippier..

Hi Richard

Liking the youtube video - what a mean idle, and colour!

What hp are you making atw and briefly what mod's have you done?

Curious as my father has a 33 GT-R V-Spec with some fair mod's and his best so far is a 12.002 over the quater.

Cheers

Well guys I went down Wed 14th with my R34 GT-T project complete and I was devastated when it crapped out on the first run ...

Not sure what the go is yet until I get it back on the dyno but basically it coughed as if starving of fuel and I felt as if I lost about 100hp through the mid range but ... here's the twist ... At about 6,500rpm it all comes back and spins the wheels like nothing is wrong

I'm confident there are no air leaks, checked out most of the fuel system but left scratching heads.

Runs fine just cruising around and even hits full boost according to the gauge when I boot it but it just runs like a stock skyline instead of a 342rwhp cammed RB25 haha

Oh well my pb still remains a 13.5sec but once I get the drama sorted I'll be back down with the now R888 tyres so hopefully they will make a big diff compared to my el' cheapo corsa tyres I had before.

By the way Richard, I am highly impresses with your car and thanks for that post! ;-) You must be a very happy man. Absolute awesome ride mate.

I wasn't going to get cocky too soon but ... I do have an RB25/30 conversion under way at Hyperdrive MS. So hopefully have that fairly early next year ;-)

Anyway, hope all is well guys and keep in touch

Thanks,

Brendan

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
