Got the new trailer last week, worth every cent. Car can be loaded without removing the front bar and airing out the air bag is cool. Now just need to upgrade the tow car.

Swapped the 4.36 ratio diff into the race car so can now put the gtr diff back in the sil80.

Top shafts are gtr, bottom standard gtst. Might drain the 98 and start E85  tune on the race car.

Got stuck into the HQ last week and fitted up the msd unit and dizzy. Should have done this year's ago has made the car enjoyable. Will fit extractors and twin 2.5 exhaust when I get back from next shift at work and start tuning the carb so it's not so rich.

And started new job in Brisbane. Finally got to do a back to back Dyno of standard plenum VS short runner intake on a standardish Rb25 (kinagowa td06, e85, 25psi, greddy fmic, 3 inch exhaust, link g4 plugin) big hit to mid range power. IMG_20191210_110548.thumb.jpg.0992b12b5b24dc9dfd1ed6f4e5c3daad.jpg

Nitrous almost all setup on the HQ

Race car now lives in Brisbane, been drifting the 180sx heaps. Bent steering stuff last week so need new lca & tie rod at minimum and new mirror & door handle after clipping a barrier.

A late night update 

HQ got 4 into 1 extractors and twin 2.5 inch exhaust, finding someone to fill nitrous bottle is turning out to be difficult.

Went to Airlie Beach, rented airbnb

Finally changed oil on drift car. Went to archerfield and had a great time, cars a little worse off but driving has improved

Actually made small progress on the sil80 and started stripping brake calipers for powder coating and new seals

Nice. 

Wouldn't a local BOC or SupaGas fill it for you? If not then find the local performance workshop/engine reconditioners and see if they know? 

Any clips of you banging in to shit you dirty drifter? 

BOC don't do nos system, just the industrial stuff and the one that does only does it a week before a big drag meet in Cairns or Mackay, should have just LS it. 

Got some in car stuff, will go through it when I get home as still in Brisbane for work.

Drove QR Autumn Matsuri last weekend. Heaps of fun and driving with mates that made the trip from Townsville.

Blew a welsh plug out of the block Saturday night IMG_20200308_073705.thumb.jpg.1b26c81e57704497f1839dab50768b5c.jpg

Got a new one and got it in and drove until the last 1.5hrs when 3rd gear decided to finally explode. Got a video from in car that I need to edit.

Did post event comp test and tested 150-155psi, tested cooling system too and all good. New s14 gearbox was sourced and inspected before install, all new filters and fluids all ready for Thursday night at Archerfield drift. Definitely need to go e85 as extra 20kw would help on the big tracks. Once I get home hopefully do a few more steering mods and fix a few chassis problems.

Boom boom with the box!

How did the pads go? 

They go pretty good but bloody noisy. Haven't done any really big stops(over 160kph) yet. Will go the performance street ones next.

You'll get sparks too with big stops ?

Is the video cool?

Happy you're out driving, makes me miss it, in the meantime I cut wood and build sheds (and ruin my elbows!).

 

Video added. 

Need to find something simple to get out there and have fun in- 350z/v35 would be my pick atm

How big the new shed?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
