ill be there next week with my mates rb25 vl.

last time he ran a 11.7 @117mph.

its a 5 speed and with the 3.45:1 ratio diff was crossing the line in 3rd gear.

we also hadnt hooked up the vct yet.

so this time we will have a 4.11:1 diff and vct hooked up and hope to break into the 10's.

are there many 5 speed rb25 equipped cars running 10's?

I dont know of any 5spd RB25s in the 10s - but do you think 117mph is enough for a 10?

with the 3.45:1 diff it bogged off the line and only got to 3rd gear by the finish line.

so we are hoping that by using 4th gear(changed diff ratio) and not bogging off the line aswell as having the vct hooked up that a reduction of .7 seconds is definately on the cards

hehheaahe... she is hot!!!!!!!!!......

Well done on the PB Blitz - car looked and sounded sweet from the stands :)

Also, had to laugh at Jim Reed's daughter last night with her "Mintie this, Mintie that, We love Mintie" comments over the loudspeaker lol...sounds like you've got a bit of a fan club there dude ;)

Very hard to run 10s with a manual, i ran 12.9 130mph, then installed an auto and ran 11.2 127mph and still more to come !!!!

i like your mph man. what hp are you making? looks like you just need some 60ft practice and the 10's are yours

My 60Ft are 1.6 not the best but good enough, 1st gear my boost was on 20psi, 2nd gear the boost droped to 8psi and then 3rd gear went back to 20psi the eboost has to be correctly adjusted which will happen tuesday and i'll be back out wednesday. the car makes 400kw on 20psi

I think the res has been lowered so people dont nick the pics and use less webspace

Notice I said low res aside :( - I was referring to the shots themselves, ie the angles as Benm mentioned. I am fully aware that for image protection, photopgrahers only make small, low res images available on the web :thumbsup:

thats very impressive power! and yes the 1.6 60ft is very good for a rwd car.

is that 400rwkw @20psi? we just made a bit more power. 343rwkw@25psi.

you have more power at less boost. is your head modified? we are running an unopened rb25 with tomei poncams and splitfire coils only

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
