Any other Skyliens running?  How does the mph compare to the std turbo times?

I was the only Skyline running against a mob of LS1's. Heathcote in May should be interesting if we can get a group to go up as it will be same day, same track.

WIth the stock turbo, the best i managed at Heathcote was a 13.09@105 with a 2.09 60'.

Tyres are Sumituno's HRZ 11, 255/40/17, wouldnt mind trying RE55 or the new Toyo's. Will have the burn these ones up first though

12s!

Congrats on running 12s - its a good feeling - my previous 2 cars did and it feels goodd!

Im aiming to get my series II 33 running stock turbo into the 12s,its got an ARC front mount,jap Rom and a few other goodies, i rekon It can do it easy. Ive had quite a bit of practise at the strip. Ive seen guys with modded 33s ie. turbo etc that cant pull low 13s even!! You have to know how to launch the car and how to set it up for the race, ie. warming tyres, tyre pressure etc.

Nice times Robo. :(

How were the LS1's holding up?

Hard question, they ranged from blown to turbocharged, some serious cars there and alot running quick times. Still i beat a lot. If i had some decent tyres and more attraction, i would certainly show a few more up.

They'd be the tyres you've got under it then? :(:)

My standard turbo 33 gtst went 12.7 @ 108mph late last year with numerous 12.9's and 12.8's in trying to get there.

Nice times Robo. :(

How were the LS1's holding up?

it was a shit weekend, a few decent LS1's there.

A fair portion nothing wonderful. For the LS1 nats i was dissapointed to see a turnout which in would call average

Robo's... i say your car, but there wasnt anyone near it the times i went past it.

I was there with Rossco and his purple 32 GTR.

Only did a 11.02 :) so sad.

Poof diff broke just after half track and just missed the 10 lol.

Lets do a Skyline Nats or some sort of skyline drag event. Would be nice to run some other skylines but since ive owned it (2 years) theres never been one organised. Hopefully the one next month (Datsan, Nissan) event might attract a few.

Last dyno session we picked up another 8rwkw with some extra boost which bought it to 225rwkw at 5700rpm. Now this is on a Dynomite dyno which the owner from experience running back to back against a dyno dynamics dyno reads 6.7% less. So putting this back into the calculation, it should be around 240rwkw on a dyno dynamics dyno. Boost at the moment is just over 19psi.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
