Sounds okay, but at 225kms from home, I think I'll have to pass :(

About the same distance for me to Willowbank. Went once & they cancelled at last minute due to some clouds :verymad:.

All i have done is a new 3 inch, hi flow cat and some mandrel bends. (This had to be done as original looked like a piece of swiss cheese)

I dont know what Mr Miagyi did to it in Japan as now the fun begins to find out. I have only had it 3 months so looking to see what i can do to it?

Grabs tin opener & heads to the pantry to find that can of worms stashed in the back.

BTW, 14.1 is a great time for 'just an exhaust'. There's a good chance you'll find some other goodies when you start digging.

Was annoyed to miss out last week meeting up with those who went to WSID. So i ventured out this evening for my first ever run and the first in the " Black Hearse".

Run # 1. 14.8

Run # 2. 14.5

Run # 3. 14.3

Run # 4. 14.1

Pretty Happy!! :yes: hey great time, welcome to the 14.1 class, what was your 60" time

Hi Rudi,

60" time was 2.051.

At least it was pleasing to loose to a Skyline.

:action-smiley-069: waves goodbye to the Skyline as it runs a 11.8 @119mph. Great effort!!

Wow great 60' get that lower and your in the 13 sec. Was the skyline maroon colour?

Silver in colour. Pulse Racing sticker on rear window.

A few things i will do next time to maybe achieve that 13.

1. Not be so nervous as it was my first time at the drags.

2. Dont go out with a full tank of fuel (price rose 24 cents a litre that afternoon on way home) :stupid:

3. Go when it not the hottest day since winter. 5pm - 25c. 8.30pm - 19c.

4. Adjust tyre pressure?

5. Practice luanches. ( maybe when kids aren't in car) :whistling:

6. Get car tuned.

Thats why i was happy with a 14.127 @ 98.38 mph.

i dont think tyre pressure is an issue, the tracks to damn sticky anyways to get a good skid/launch :(

Terrible night over all, Rain stopped things for a while, shit box VL dropping oil twice and some other piece of crap dying at 3/4 track.

Best I could manage was 12.6 with a 1.9 60 foot and 185 kmh trap speed. Really struggling to get it off the line with the new clutch.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
