Good time, will be hard for me to beat you!

 

Maybe, maybe not, it always depends on the day

Best time of the night?

As many runs as you need?

A bag of delicious hot cinnamon donuts for the victor?

I'll run first then park up till needed, or, WSID closes, whichever comes first.....😜

.... sorry was that with the MT's or with a regular R888 tyre?

275/40 17 MT's mate

I'll have another play in a month or two and see if I can crack a 10.???

I actually forgot to soften up the rear suspension, and also forgot to press the performance button to let it rev out a little more 

Next time I'm going to set up my phone to record everything that is happening on the dash, like launch rpm, shift points, and what mph and gear I'm in at 12? Mph, I'm not sure if I was right at the top of 3rd or it changed into 4th at the line

Also, remembering to hit the trac and performance buttons, loading up the trans a little, slowly "mashing the pedal" is all apparently to hard for me to do, LOL, but, at least I can only get better

If was balls deep fun though

I'll be keen after All Crap Day, provided my car hasn't exploded or ended back on a trailer/hoist/jackstands

That's just the game we play mate

I'm now looking at a little vibration at high RPM, maybe the 30 year old flogged out tail shaft?

Smile and wave, smile and wave

It cracks me up to no end that you have a fridge in the car! There's something about the thought of hitting the drag strips with cooled pastries in the back that just hits right.

Have you ever been to Patisserie Schwarz in Wentworth Falls? If you are out that way it's well worth stopping by. Proper Western European pastries. It gets a bit busy and not a lot of seating but their baked goods are top notch.

Currently sitting under my desk at work running on 240v, it holds my milk and lunch

My milk tended to "evaporate" pretty quick in the kitchenette fridge that everyone has access to, so I needed to take measures

Must work with some jackc*nts to have to do that.

Vibration in rear or front?

once that vibration sorted would have to be one of the tidiest and sorted commodores out there.

 

I feel it is probably tail shaft, it is a body type shake over 80mph, and doesn't get better until under 80 mph

I'm "thinking" tail shaft anyway, I've booked it in to get Autotech to get it up on a hoist and have a good look

Some new rubber tailshaft coupling bushings and a new centre bearing on the 20 year old girl can't hurt anyway, so that may be a quick, relatively cheap, shot gun approach to start with anyway, justified in my mind as preventative maintenance

Preventative maintenance stuff helps me sleep well at night

The Matouks boys would be shaking their heads at this comment. Bipolar R33 gtst recently went 6.49 221mph 1/4 full bodied and still running irs rear end on 275's. I think that's the fastest 33 gtst in the world, also has sunroof. Covers off that record too. Lol.

Yours should do an easy 10 with traction. I know, easier said than done.

 

Sorry MLR for non bogan content.

I could thrown on Simmons on the car, white walls dis dat, instant @The Bogan approval.

Nope, Skylines need to run stuff from J to keep the "ricer" look, like vented bonnets and neons, and 3 ft long exhaust tips

Yes, I know and apologise for using the word ricer, but you cannot be a true bogan in a Skyline, as you cannot be a ricer in a Commodore 

Sort of like how rednecks drive American cars

And fat old white guys with arthritis ride Harleys

I'm still out on the classification of the R30-31 Skylines though, they are a sort of fusion blend of bogan and rice.....Bogice????.....Rigan?????

I apologise to no one

But love youse all

Bogrice sounds good, when you have a succulent Chinese meal from a dodgy food court behind Woolies CBD and your bog contains rice.

Typical R31 are from a stratum somewhat below you common or garden bogan. I think feral is the best description.

Maybe I should of got one of these before they commanded drug money

Just dropped the car off to Autotech Engineering to diagnose the vibration I'm getting 

Hopefully just the tailshaft couplings or centre bearing

They are going to stick it up on a hoist and have a good look and see if the couplings or bearings are showing wear, if they looks alright they will stick it on the dyno and try to replicate it and go from there

It never happens on the street doing 110kph on the hwy, or when I'm giving it some beans, but, once the car hits around 140kph at the strip it starts to vibrate and increases all the way up to when I back off at the line doing 200kph

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
