I am so going to kick your ass Jhon !!!!!!! :evil:

hehe yeah, but my injectors are still only at 40% duty, and i still have c16 and methanol as options combined with more boost will definately push the car into the 10's.... its just a matter of getting everything perfect again before moving onto the next stage.... atm the needs bigger slick as its fries them off the line and between 1st and 2nd.

As you pointed out John my boy, there is plenty of potential...the only thing holding you back WILL be traction, as is the case for many a hipo rear drive car, especially one with the amount of torque that thing would put out!!!

You may even have to look at a multi-link rear as the old IRS has its limits

hehe, yeah, im sure i will find thos limits and the not too distant future. My slicks being 8 years old probably doesnt help, the new set wont be radials but im looking into those dot approved ones.. and going 1 to 1 1/2" wider. I think as it stands it will go faster with new slicks... but buying christmas pressies for everybody has put slicks on the bottom of my list of things to get at the moment... i need a better job!! haha..

Or to give up with the car... all its left me with is a maxed out credit card, large loan to repay, and an unforgetable ear to ear smil everytime it goes down the track.... yeah its worth it.

So very true, my old boy used to say something similar to mum..."you want a new iron, well I want a new dizzy, and a new iron aint gonna make shit go quicker"

Its addictive, been there since I was little, just cannot aford to get back into it, but where there is a will there is a way!!!

I have made an agreement with work that once funds are up I will be heading out there more often so I will drop by and have a chat, I am usually with GTR/EvoCam whom I think you have spoken to a few times, I usually try and give cam advice and help set up the car...

Where do people want to meet? I can't leave work until 4pm, so earliest can get there would be 5:30pm.. Not sure if anybody else is coming from the goldcoast, could meet up at coomera?

Anybody else who wants to meet up, want to meet at say Redbank Plaza (just off Ipwich Motorway) at 5:30 ?

Or alternatively, maybe just the Mobil just before Willowbank just to have a quick meet and greet before go in?

From memory, $45. I will be heading out and will probly meet you guys at the mobile just before Willobank around 5:30ish. If I am running late, I will just head straight to Willobank.

Without trying to bring a dampner on things, are you guys still heading out if it rains??

What's it cost?

If its raining, or looks like its going to rain I'm out.. as per above.

ok, well there doesn't seem to be massive interest for Redbank, I'll try and be at the Mobil at 5:30pm to say hello to whoever is there, and let down my tyres. Look out for a black stock looking r32 with an SAU sticker on the 1/4 window

how many kws you making now predator?

haha, not much.. Will see whether my times make a mockery of my dyno reading ...or not :(

Tyre pressure gauge my friend :)

Ok then wont bother going to redbank, straight to Mobil it is!

(shiny black 33, as per picture <--)

i said i was going but now i'm not. My family has this unnerving ability to plan my schedule for me. Family bbq with cousins from overseas tomorrow night. Be there or get left out of the will. There will be another chance to run the car. have fun y'all hope it doesn't rain for you.

cheers, Mark

I'll try to be at Mobil around 5:30. Might be running a little late depending on through city traffic. Look for a grey stocko looking 34 sedan. Not so shiny as it desperately needs a wash.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
