Yer - it munched.

I saw it go up but never come back :)

Looked awesome though.

Got some pics of hicks, radium and got boost.

Also got some of macka and a few others cars I dont recognise.

I got a lovely shot of Hicks as he was coming back :D

(the big guy in the white shirt drooling was me Hicks :))

Anyway - I have some pics but not very good (Lost my camera V plates tonight). Will post them when I get to work tommorow

Got a 14.1 myself.

When the GTR popped it was racing Emma at the time..

Was waiting for them to come back when the announcement was:

"Seems ladies and gentlemen one of the turbo skylines have had a blow and theres oil on the track"

*heart stops*

on reflection was it coz of my lady or the car :) -j/k - *ducks in case*

Smoke was seen coming out of it just b4 the finish..also the fornt right quarter panel was very scuffed. Like it grazed the wall.

Plex was ok tonight pretty warm and the track was average at best.

I got a 13.4 at 109 mph 2.5 60 foot, i still need to learn how to launch with big turbo though.

On the way home i raced this white r33, had a cypher *cough* sticker on it and what seemed like either an external gate or a screamer pipe, pulled pretty hard.

I think i raced a couple of people from here as well...

just heard a rumor did the speedworks r34 $$$$$$.$$ just munch itself yet again.

Yeah, it bogged down on the start but picked itself up and screamed off. Made some bad noises half way down the track and gave off a puff of smoke towards the end of the track. Word through the grapewine is a busted gearbox and engine. The scuff marks on the front bumper were there when it turned up, so not related to the drag run. I have its run on video if anyone here (or from speedworks) is interested in seeing it.

What did it munch before?

I didn't manage to improve my times from last week (13.9 again), same excuses, but I did manage to beat Hicks all night, so it made it worthwhile.

There was a much larger turnout than the week before, lots of Skylines and Commodores, but I don't think anyone was running there best times.

See'ya:burnout:

GOT BOOST,

That was a good time, and impressive 60'. Next time I'll have to let you drive my car, so you can improve my cars times. My shitty tyres also get nice and sticky after a bit of thrashing, and they seem to be lasting for ages.

See'ya:burnout:

last night was sh!t for me... i couldnt bust past 15.2, 0.6 off my best..., which is 14.6 and ive gotten that every time ive been down this season (3 times), slower terminal speed too.

God knows whats happened to the car after compliance..

I had brand new S03's on there expecting to cut maybe a few tenths off my time as the RE710's had gone hard, but no luck...

slippery track? headwind?

i dunno..

had a mate down there with his v8 and he was also 0.6 behind his times the last time we went down a few weeks back and he had some head work done to his car. He was also pissed. :)

ODD.

ahh well. at least itll blow anything away around a corner :D

It would be great if I could take 0.6seconds off my time, it would be quite respectable then.

I asked the officials last night about having a red light run. They said that it doesn't affect the ET, therefore Macka's time of 12.98 stands, but becuase it wasn't a legal run then will not be accepted officially.

See'ya:burnout:

was a good turnout, got 10 runs.

Although im not happy with my times, i improved my driving ability throughout the night, best was a 14.05 with a 2.2 60'.

Gotta perfect the launch, get a dump, get a clutch, and try again.

I agree with GOT BOOST, simex tyres are the stickiest ive ever had.

That blown LS1 was only able to pull a flat 13.

It looked like the track was a little more slippery than usual. Quite a few people I spoke with were running a tad slower than their normal times.. There's a few events over chrissy so they'll prep the track up nicely and when it starts up again early next year, it should make for some quicker times..

maybe...

which blown ls1 would that be? :)

also mph's would be handy if ya post times, as in lagwagons case it indicates a very reall 12 second potential there(altho.. big turbo lag mite prevent that atm).

As for the gt-r going pop.. hopefully that'll stop the whiney sooks always complaining about the "trevs" breaking down on track HAHA :)

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
