Getting the Groove Rider Fabrications special, including the strut tower tie in support.  Yes still mainly a circuit car and will sacrifice a little weight for better handling for circuit.

Looks like the way we are going, but not until next year as he tells us he is very busy.

Wreckedhead I am pretty confident I will run a 9 in my circuit car before you do and not with current motor, it is for sale as going VQ35 500rwkw and alloy block and 100kg less weight.  I will be waiting for you in the 9 sec club.  Have you even run a 10 and not on Grand Turismo??

thats some funny shit john, do you write your own material. :)

funkymonkey yes it was me, the sun is in your eyes late in the arvo. Then at night the prob I had was that there are no dash lights which we will now correct and often with smoke in the cabin which we need to see where this is coming from and also correct I found it hard to see the tacho. I have a shift light set at 8000rpm and rev cut at 8200rpm.

The smoke may have something to do with the little button labled "smoko" on the centre console... I hear when used in conjunction with the far right pedal this can lead to a lack of vision. Might wanna get that seen to.

Finally got the tyre pressures right and me sorted on the drag racing thing and late in the night  we cracked the 10's last night at  WSID.  Our second event at drags,  and it was on street tyres.

Exact time was   10.894   1.690 60 foot  and 130.85mph  Ambient temp  22C.

The run after that did a 1.597 60 foot but then missed second gear and then ran out of fuel and night was over anyway.

Off to get a roll cage then will be back next year.

Well done John! Nice short times, too.

In case some are still wondering if I actually did it.

I am not sure even some who know me had to confirm with me thinking I may have made it up. Not exactly sure why this is the case and wondering if I lack credability. I certainly never bull crap so?

I saw the 11.5 sec pass and I said " Holie Fark"

I got no doubt Johnny boy !

Well done - don't it feel good to get a quantified baseline performance measurement of your cars potential ?? :)

how can a 10 second pass be indicative of a car's overall performance? I think John's track times already have proven his car's potential... the 10 second pass was just rubbing it in our faces :)

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
