The wrap up;

14.6 @ 158.9km/h

14.7 @ 159.8km/h

14.4 @ 156.7km/h

Each time, I simply couldn't generate the full blooded 3200rpm full boost launch that I can do on the street; time after time.

Frankly I was pretty damn disappointed with the times; it was just so lazy off the line.

After idling the car (in gear), through the session before in an attempt to get some heat into the gearbox, hoping that it would actually come on boost and do a decent; it finally did what I wanted and produced this.

To say I was pleased; is a bit of an understatement.

It left the line with about 7psi of boost at 3000rpm; so there may be more in it once I can get consistent boost control on the line.

Well done to Theo as well; a swag of 13.9's, regular as clockwork.

Good to catch up; top stuff.

Commiserations to Whitestag; hopefully your issue isn't serious.

Well done guys. Very consistent times Theo :)

Nice timeslip Dale. Is that about what I said....?

Big improvement over your stock runs, as you'd expect given what you've done recently.

I think I raced one of you guys on my last pass before retiring with a blow radiator hose(maroon r32GTR). Grats on the times and very beautiful cars. :)

You went up against Theo (WAGON BOY) and you would've been able to wipe the floor with mine if you hadn't had to bow out.

At least it wasn't a major issue for you then.

Very nice ride mate; the Maroon looked very nice under lights. :thumbsup:

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
