If this Wednesday is any good weather wise i will be trying to head out to the Creek again to better my 13.6 PB 

all parties interested welcome to come play

good news on the gearbox front...its fixed. It seems that the d1ckheads who put it together put 3-4 bearing sleeve on backwards causing it to creep and throw the clearances out....pick it up on Sat. install Sat night. with luck race next wed.

I'll be there also... Trying to blind you while you're doing a burnout and when taking off at the christmas tree's... LOL... Anyone who is out there should be getting a few snaps of their cars while on the line and in staging lanes... If anyone especially wants a video of their run/s please let me know prior via email: [email protected] and i'll film you from the line... All the best and hope to see you out there...

Sounds great Steve....love to have a vid of a 10sec pass in the beast if i get there! Will let you know how the car is on monday.

i will be there, as well as many of the nissansilvia.com members since we are having our WSID night this coming wednesday. hopefully the weather permits, allready the NSCC meet got cancelled due to rain last wednesday :D

ive only been to WISD once, and the best time i managed was a 13.4 @ 111mph on 18" blingers in full street trim. No octane booster etc. nothing. i screwed up every launch bad. so hopefully now i will go into the 12s :P

cheers all if you see us around dont be scared to say hi.

Hi Paul, nice to here you got your box back lets hope it works this time.

Got my OS box today but dont know when we will have time to put it in.

It would be good to run our cars heads up.

Hi abflug.......replying on pauls behalf...........yep that would have been great abflug. we are both pulling our hairout. (well I am as pauly has none!). Paul was all ready to head down to sydney to pick the box up 2moro, but we have been told late 2day it's still not ready. Oh well.....as they say......'good thing will come to those who wait'

man i went backwards wednesday night

I improved my 60 foot times from 2.2 to 1.9

but i lost 3/10 tenths at the finish for a best of 13.9

and was also down on speed normally 166 km/h i was was at 160km/h

I will not race again till i have some more power

BU5TER:

The car has been put on the backburner as I am still overseas. But I will get stuck into it as soon as I get back to Oz. Still haven't settled on which ECU I am going to use. And yours?

DIRT: my fingers are permanently twised from crossing them so much. Patience is a virtue, especially in this game. ;)

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
