you're better off learning on the track than on the streets. give it a go.

lol!

Hey, you don't learn how to drive a manual on a drag strip. She'll race eventually. She's learning very quickly.

she said she doesnt know how to drive manual fast.

which was what i was refering to when i said it would be better off learning on the drag strip, which if you read properly you would've understood.

Ah, ok, I see how you misread it.

I only started to teach her how to drive manual 2 weeks ago when she bought her r32 gtst.

So yeah, you don't learn how to drive manual on a drag strip.

Oh, here's a quote of what she said,

I would go but I'm still learning to drive manual.

well I can drive but not fast.

Stace had never even seen a race track in real life before her first race.....reeled off a 12.4 on her first ever run. C'mon girls you dont know how good you really are till you give it a shot.....BTW practicing on the street will KILL YOU!! Unfortunately i know from experience...dont do it please. See you at WSID.

paul, when will you be coming out to wsid ? or are you waiting until sport compact ?

Yep, just waiting till the 17th Dec event at WSID. Unfortunately we find it too difficult to attend the Wed nite street meets.

Can regular Wed nite Street meet participants please tell me what the average number of runs per nite you can get??

Oh, I think it was misread there Security.

She's still learning to drive a manual. She's been driving manual for 2 weeks. She's not trying to drive fast on the road. She's learning how to shift, what gears to be in, etc. Not learning how to race.

Some people like to learn how to drive a manual, before they try and drive their newly bought manual car on a track. She was an auto only driver before like some others, but she wanted to learn, and she's doing brilliantly. I just don't want her to take the car on a drag strip yet where she'll be encouraged to go fast and might end up destroying her gearbox or damaging her engine.

2 weeks into driving a manual is way too soon! It's not like an auto where all you do is put your foot down.

I wouldn't mind a few runs.....but so hard to get away from work on a wednesday arvo

maybe in the new year...

but it has to be soon, I've thrown down too many challenges which are yet to be backed up! lol

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
