Ok a bit of progress, if all goes to plan the car will be going up to A&T autos in Toowoomba early next week and receiving a Stage Three (full manual, no more ecu bs) transgo shift kit and a 3000~ stall converter...

I'm just trying to get it ready for this drag day, I have to take it down and chop a certain silver maxima lol

got drag slicks? pineappled your dif? tightened up your rear shocks?

your not ready!

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok bit of an update, kinda:

*Stage three transgo shift kit has been ordered

*3200 stall to suit my cam has been ordered through the converter shop in brissy

*new tires will be purchased this arvo (only skinny ones as I need them before Monday and no one stocks big ones

*had a talk to Jamie from Forced performance in Toowoomba and confirmed i will be getting a cam package (cam springs pushrods tune) through those guys as soon as the box is finished, ended up going a comp cam 232/234 112lsa lumpy stick and have had the converter built to suit this

*car is booked in for Monday to begin the box overhaul

Also fitted yesterday:

Fitted this afternoon

*new rear tires (just pissy 235s)

*new battery clamp

*new earth cable

*new brake pads

i always thought you were some jerk with a NA skyline,

and then i read this, yes it is a NA but its a LS1 - fair play son

I dont understand how people miss that fact, its written, right there <<<< :P

But yes I wouldn't doubt the fact that I'm still some jerk with an NA skyline (#@t5iv #@Sabbi #@Cadmoon #@olloSKYLINEollo they'll confirm this lol), but yer it's a much more formidable force with the V8 now compared to the old Natro RB.

I'm just glad someone's reading my ramblings

Good luck nick,hope she flys for ya.

Thanks :wub: ... I'm just waiting for the 15th so I can drive it

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
