Willowbank 16th And Streetcar Shootout 19th?


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Taking blacky out on wed night for some final shakedown passes before its first even at streetcar shootout on saturday....

Neone else going out...

Gearbox should be sorted, so fingers crossed it may carck an 11.

See yous there.

Hi Mate

yeah

Im there on weds getting some practise. also going for some low 11s.

i have some dead street rubber tho, so we'll see. im sure no traction will be an issue for me.

I presume you are in the All in 4,6,8 rotary DYO Street Class at the StreetCar Shootout?

hopefully we should line up against eachother on weds and have a larf.

thanks

Mick

Haven't been to one for  a while might give it a try I am still a 1/4 mile virgin

Well then, no better person than Mick to give you a raping for your first time.

Just remember, dump the clutch on the last orange light....that's the one just before the green. This should give you a good reaction time.

And when you think you have crossed the finish, keep going for a bit....the track is a lot longer than you think and when you think you are finished you usually still have 100m to go.

i will probably be heading out

as i just got my power fc in and put the boost up to 10psi

im guessing its going to be fairly busy, considering the shootout on saturday. last quarter run was 14.3, skidded all first

i want to let the tyres down abit but i dont really want to drive on 25 psi to the next petrol station. As i just got the tyres last week

it might not matter but oh well, i'll just have to try and control not skiddin as much at the start.

Good to see a couple of skylines headin out though, last ones i been too there has been a shitload of commodores and fords.

Ya kinda guess it though being in ipswich.

Anyway see yas there, hope yas pull some good times.

hehe ive driven to the closest petrol station on 14psi before.... 25 wont be a problem....

hay jhon what to meet up and drive down

Today or saturday??

I still have some last minute things to finish off on the car, then i have to throw it on the trailer so im not sure what time ill be leaving this arvo.

Ill probably be leaving around 6-630ish on saturday morning.

i might have to look into gettin one of those compressors

could come pretty handy later on

I left my tyres alone tonight

ended up doing a 14.089

reaction .654

mph 101.69

60ft time was 2.246

f**ked the start abit didnt have much revs .

and also let third rev out a little too long.

thought it was alright though.

getting closer to getting into the 13's

hmmmm well i had an interesting night.... didnt get out till like 7:15...

Did a half powerr lass to make sure it was gonna change gears... next pass i stalled it up and it skipped foward through the beams on the front runners.... Never driven with them before... Then it managed a reasonably clean 12.2@112mph... gearbox is shifting unreal.... really happy with that.... just got look at being super consistant now.

nice well done.

i didnt have much chance to come say hi - i had sme small probs etc.

i saw a little burnout from you etc.

i ran a 11.91 @ 118.89mph lots of traction loss etc wasnt a full flat stick run.

but on other runs was having probs cog swapping...

need to change gearbox oil today/tomorow for sat.

got stuck in 2nd gear! :D

    • Couldn't help but share the pics of my $350 "Hella" oil level sensor that arrived from totalengines via eBay today. It's like they're not even trying anymore ... And I think that's sad. 
    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?
