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.

Cheers Rudi; had a quick yarn with your young bloke out there, sorry you couldn't make it.

Catch you soon mate.

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:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
