people on here oh id only want to do 3-5 runs but when u go to the drags and only get 3-4 runs coz of wait times people crack the shits... i dont get it lol

u think about it, by the time u have a run, let car cool down, make adjustments if needed, chat to mates, watch other cars 7 hrs wil go pretty fast so $280 isnt bad in my eyes, get involved...

if only i had a better clutch and 200 more kw

Hi all,

At this stage my mate is struggling to get numbers, so wont be going ahead with it.

He said the track is available to hire anytime (providing nothing on there), so maybe in the future if theres enough people keen.

Hey Andrew,

How's my old car going, are you going to be out there?

Hi shaun,

just about to try a new turbo on , trying to squeeze bit more out of it with similar response, hoping to make 430-440rwkw and still keep full boost around 3200rpm.

i was planing to race.

Andrew

Andrew, you mentioned there were 10 spots remaining earlier in the thread, since then I estimate 4 extras in this thread, even if a few drop out we still have at least 10-12 people. If we can't get another 8-10 people from other car forums I'll be very surprised!

If I could get my hands on a decent tailshaft at the right price I could be interested.

Unfortunately, 1 hard launch and my tailshaft will look like a stick of licorice.

Need a pair of MT's for the rear as well or I'll be laying rubber for 1/2 the track :(.....like this:

Yeah, i think some of the 10 people he had pulled out.

im pretty sure the track costs $5500 to hire for 10-20 cars, so if you dont have full 20 cars obviously you got to pay more than $280 a car.

pete shafts built from hardy spicer are only 900ish they use ur yoke and center bearing , and if u get the urge and want to play i got 2 sets of m/t's i seem to be the bloke everyone comes to borrow rubber, i dont mind tho ,maybe some one set a date and we could make this happen. if ur real keen pete that cars up for sale 50k was 70k lol

thanks Jet, I may even take you up on your offer and happy to part with some cash or beer.

Input shafts on the ZF are apparently a weakness too I think.....I reckon Nizpro are doing a replacement shaft atm...not sure how much they are though.

May have to speak to the Willall boys to book in for a replacement input shaft.........what car or cars are you thinking of running Martin?

Okay, I'll kick things off. If you are 100% commited to running at a private drag day at AIR(on 1 July - will confirm date ASAP) then let me know via this thread. Budget for a $280 entry fee. As soon as we have 20 names I'll organise payment.

yeh look ur car should be fine honestly pete its the 60ft where it snapps stuff seen stock part hold up with 1.6 60's but also seen stock stuff let go on dynos nizpro sell tool steel input shafts at 1500 bucks bta motorsport sell a input shaft rated at 2000hp but its 4k and billett, then the intermediate shaft has the hard task i say a 2nd had tailshaft is 250 bucks and its good that its the weak point cause input shafts and down the line is more expensive. just go have fun and maybe a tailshaft loop will stop any damage and if it does snap its only 250 slippery slope with any modified car lol dont need to tel u that tho

just as a guide a bf xr6t done a record the other day ay air on street tyres ( this is a very debateable subject) but nitto nivos went 11.01 @ 131mph with a soft 1.9 60ft done a heap of passes and no brakeages just kept that 60 soft and everything holds up btw a 10 on street tyres is something alot of ford boys are chasing ( this could be u pete lol)

iam more than happy to share my m/t's around as i like to see everyone having fun and a common goal everyone has a pb :P

Jet, if we don't get the numbers for 1 July or the date is not available we can look at trying again for a later date.

Rob, original list updated.

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
