Hey Nick I know I will be telling you about it for at least that long. But not hanging my hat on this as will do better just with what I learnt about things last night and knowing what set up re tyres. Also changing suspension in it to fully adjustable suspension including shock height. The TEIN shocks I have you can't adjust the overall height only through the spring height which then compresses the tender spring and main spring and makes less travel as well as stiffer. We had to raise the rear almost 10mm as the offset of the new drag wheels were sticking out and we didn't want it to hit the guard, but now it was not squating as well.

10.8 ??? When was the last time the WSID timign equip was calibrated:)

Awesome effort. I know if a ZED in the states that i think runs 8s, but is a full house chassis etc drag car. Could be one of the 5 fastest ZEDs around, just got to get some rego for the thing John:)

Great effort again, but enough of this drag rubbsih, when are you bringing the thing to Sandown or Phillip Island, there are some heavy hitting GTRs down here

Yes there is a zed Escort Racing 7.45 sec 183mph.

Rego, why so I can lose my license?

Yes I might have to go somewhere where there are some fast GTR's and none in Sydney, although a lot of beer talking.

I will be happy to have the fastest Zed or GTR circuit times and drag in Australia, and throw in the drift to stuff tings up.

I would like to see some of these drag boys drift or circuit race, even with their cars set up, could be dangerous.

OMG 10.8 I thought you would need to get your mechanic to drive it to that sort of time

No, that's 10.7 :P

give up on the straight line stuff John

More like, "Now throw the gauntlet down to the drag guys, John."

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      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?

      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)
