450kw and 127mph? u sure that leak wouldnt have lost you power? i run 127mph and im only just over 500hp on 24psi, only peaked at 23 for the day though.

i don't know mate.

The only way to find out would be to run again

Awesome afternoon. The Evo guys loved it. I finally got to run my Evo for the first time & managed a 12.30 @114mph.

Does anyone know what Phil's best time was in the R35 GTR? I need to pass the info on for an internet article.

Looking back at my videos, I'm starting to wonder how I would have gone if I'd let the car get anywhere near redline...

I just have too much mechanical sympathy I think.

only be way to find out

Back to Willowbank the legume (yes, legume) goes for rev limiting thrashing

Yep, still got a free pass that expires December from a time when test and tune was rained out.

Bought an open face helmet for $40 yesterday since the full face one got too hot on Saturday.

I'll go back out as soon as Sneaky Pete decides to run his car.

Not I :(

I have however ordered some slimline engine mounts to fit my 2.5in intake and 2.5in incercooler piping that have been sitting in the box since xmas. Might as well turn a gearbox removal into a positive right?

Got to the end of the quarter, slowing down, tried to shift from 4th to 3rd and it wouldn't go. Perma stuck in 4th. Was working my way into the launches having never been on MT's before. Didn't feel like I had a single clean run unfortunately. Only made 1 trip to the timeslip booth and collected 2. 1 said 12.5 @ 123, the other said 17.5 at 77.

Wideband saved me again on that run. After burnout I noticed lean. Kept a keen eye on afr's, sure enough under boost was too lean. I had figured the boost feed for FPR had come off, and I was correct, pulled up to check and it was flapping in the breeze.

Every modified boosted car should have a wideband IMO. Cheap insurance.

Nope not engine out. Will sling it and slide the mounts out and install the slimlines :P

Hey mate, where did you get your helmet from. And how did the horse run.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
