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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
