They opened last night :)

Same problem I've always had with them. The clips fall off and come out in the oil. Cruchy for a while then, the selector fork breaks sometime after.

Would that be different to the busted 3rd gear i had? The gears were notchy at times but not constant... The 34 boxes are slightly different to the 33 from memory but now sure how...

I'd assume it's the same, the 34 boxes are pull type and the 33's and push type that's the difference. I think.

Bonnet venting looks dramatic - love it. Lift it and show the work on the underside.

Wondering if the first few rows would be the ones you really need. Hoping that the louvres past half way along don't work against the goal of releasing air. That's starting to get into the high pressure area as you approach the windscreen base.

Yeh so we took a little trip over the border for some more track time. They ran the extended circuit, so it was hard to compare times.

But the split times are on par from last year, so the cage hasnt changed the performance.

Noticed the false floor you put in under the pedals. How did that go? Looks like yove fixed it directly to the floor however others that ive seen have been about 5cm above the floor. How have you found it?

It's just sikaflexed down. Seems fine.

We broke another gearbox over the weekend. This time 3rd gear is no more.

This box was a rough one to start with anyway.

I've got a better one at home that I'll have the synchro clips replaced, hopefully it lasts a couple of years before needing attention.

We still came second with a 1.05.28, slower than last year. But then no-one went faster than last year. Cold track surface conditions both days.

I'm sure with 3rd gear on day two I would have gone a few tenths quicker. Still not the 1.03.xx that Benny's S2000 did last year, but maybe a mid

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
