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.

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.

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.

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      By LegendGTR · Posted

      I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀

      Stock Airbox and Snorkle for RWC - VIC west

      Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By PranK · Posted

      This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
