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.

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. ;)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
