Best I could do was back up my 12.3,

Clutch didn't seem to like 300+kW+Drag launches+fat heavy car and is now rather f**ked.

I wont be buying another exedy clutch as it only lasted 9 drag launches and 10k km of fairly sensible street driving most of it on 280kW.

DVS JEZ what would you suggest? Car isn't driven daily and pedal weight is less of a concern but i would like to maintain some feel and not go back to the on/off switch HKS twin plate i had in it.

I've just had the same with an Exedy clutch, it's been in my car for approx. 10 months, and it's gone - in the space of about 2 weeks it went from mild slipping in 4th and 5th to slipping really badly in every gear except first. I've done 8 drag launches (at the SAU Drag Day last year) and the odd Texi day (I usually volunteer for the Texi days, so I only tend to do 2 or 3 runs in a day).

I'm looking for a Nismo Super Coppermix single at a somewhat decent price - can anyone hook a brother up???

i actualy should have went heathcote yesterday apparently no rain and a mate ran an 8.9 in his street car!

Must be pretty trick. They get a bit twitchy and take your plate#, boot you out if you don't have the right cage/chute/gear at those speeds.

Daleo and Myself are heading out to WSID on Wenesday the 22nd of August anyone else keen to come down and join us???

I possibly could be interested, I'm dead stock right now, so it would be good to see how it improves over time.

I might be keen, don't know if I can do better:(

Awesome Rudi; it would be great to see you, we need to chat.

Set yourself a benchmark, and watch the times drop as you make changes.

yeah come down and have some fun, first time is always exciting no matter what!!!......... you should get a 14.9sec pass

Mine did a 14.9 standard; there's a line in the sand for you, Brick. :thumbsup:

How much is it and what do i need to bring along? Do they do much scrutinering?(the dodgy people who complied my car didnt change the tires so it still has japanese tires on it) I may have a band rehearsal, but if not i would say that im in for sure if there are a few other guys going. Would be good to meet a few other stag owners

its only $50 and you could possibly get up to 5-6 runs depending on how busy it is.

you need a helmet and long sleved shirt and pants. scrutinering is easy as long as the car is road worthy. tires should be ok.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
