klutched

Cheers man! Yeah I think I'm leaning toward that. I needa find a second set of wheels first.. Thinking maybe a set of 33 GTR wheels with 245/45r17s or another set that will fit 275s on them. Dunno if I need 275 drag radials though...

So wheel alignment is fantastic (thanks to dose pipe)! Hooks up well and corners a lot better. Took her out to the strip again last night to try crack 11s... Was maybe 10 cars running all night so had a good amount of runs. Was playing around with the suspension and tyre pressures but only to run 12.199-12.4. Then tried a little less throttle off launch and less clutch slip and cracked an 11.994! My mates time to beat was 11.920. Did another run and missed 3rd so canned it. Next run after that pulled an 11.926! So close to beating him.. Did another run and missed 3rd again. Last run of the night and managed to pull this out! Super happy with how it went. Still has more to go if i throw some drag radials on and get the launch down pat! Dunno if I wanna go drag radials now or do my head work!?!?!

I went with whiteline ones as they were the cheapest I could find. Well known brand as well. I think the next upgrade in that department will be sway bars I think. But I wanna do my head first.

So Superpro were really good and sent me out new bushes! Hopefully these ones will be ok. Also bought a camber lockout kit for the rear, thought I may as well do everything while I'm in there. Subframe all installed with new bushes and Hicas Eliminator Kit installed yesterday, also installed diff and put it all back together Had these tie rod ends sitting here for ages and never got around to changing them.... Could say the old ones were a little bit worn out Goes in for a wheel alignment in the morning, super keen to see how she drives after it!

Yeah I know hahah but I wanna try get there as is! Hopefully these bushes and wheel alignment will get me there. Then when I go more power go a set of mickeys or hoosiers and go for 10s

Here's my drag slips from the other night! Little bit of progress on the rear end! Got the subframe out sweet, shittest part was doing the handbrake lines... Will be fun putting my brakes back together... Had a closer look at it and the new poly bushes I put in have already shit themselves and one top completely missing.. Have another set ready to put in, hopefully they don't f**k out... Hicas Eliminator was surprisingly not too bad, would have been a lot easier doing it on the car cause the subframe was moving around when I was pressing the old joints out. Decided I cbf with the bushes so pulled it apart and took my subframe down to fulcrum and let them deal with it Will have it back on Monday ready to shove back under the beast!

Went down to the drags last night for a spin to see what difference the diff makes! The consistency is there now! Still a little bit of wheel spin and lots of axle tramp. So starting to put the rest of the rear end in today and get it aligned asap and I'll head back down and hopefully crack the 11s.. Still hit my PB last night with a 12.10 Will upload slips when my phone starts working.... Here's some from Circuit & Coffee the other week.

Yeah definitely worth it! It's good, only thing is in carparks it wants to shudder and hop but if you ride the clutch in and out its ok.

Got this bad boy in last week ready for roll racing on saturday night.. She still skates a bit through second but still a big improvement, definitely need to get the rest of the rear end in and get an alignment.. Heading out to Circuit & Coffee in the morning so will see how she does there. Depending if I have holidays or not over easter, I might pull the head off and get it reco'd and drop the new gear in and try track down a Link G4+ and get it Tuned!

Finally some progress! Decided I wanted my diff in for Roll Racing this Saturday at Queensland Raceway, so I got cracking this arv and whipped her out with a little bit of swearing.... Off to the diff shop tomorrow arvo and then I'll get back under her and pull the subframe out and go to town changing the new bushes over!

Last pieces to the puzzle Brothers car broke down last week so I have been dailying the skyline, so couldn't pull it apart. Hopefully this weekend I'll get some time and have a good crack at the rear end and then send her in for an alignment.

Performance springs just turned up

Forgot to add these vids from Roll Racing the other night. Always have a ball out there. Mate rode out to watch so I told him to get a passenger pass and ill take him for a spin. Only got 3 watchable vids from the runs. Need to find my cam so I can start recording myself.

I decided that I only want to pull the rear end apart once, so may as well do it properly. Bought Whiteline subframe bushes, Superpro front and rear diff bushes and traction rods as well as my hicas eliminator kit that will all go in at the same time as the diff. Ordered valve springs from Goleby's as they had them instock and not to mention $50 cheaper! Should be here this week along with my traction rods. Cams arrived at Jesse Streeter yesterday so they will be sent out today/tomorrow with arrival next week sometime. All coming together now

Headgasket, stubs and Balljoint remover arrived today, looks like I have a busy weekend ahead of me...

Ordered a set of Performance Valve springs and Retainers direct for $380 posted, 3-4 week wait on them. Should arrive around the same time as my cams get here.

Drags didn't go so well, was ford and holden night so packed. Only got 3 runs in so didn't really get to figure out whats good and whats not with the launch control. End up running 12.5, 12.7, 12.7, far from my PB 12.1. Can't hook up off the line, needa get that diff and subframe bushes in asap! Picked up these bride reps today for a reasonable price. Gave them a quick clean and threw em in. Almost full racecar spec now HG and stubs have been shipped from Jesse, should be here next week sometime Also ordered a ball joint press kit off ebay to do my hicas eliminator kit (thanks for the tips kingtube), expecting that next week as well. Will replace my front tie rods as well and get a wheel alignment. Anyone have any alignment recommendations for a street car?

Ready for the strip tomorrow night

Just an ebay one, got it ages ago can't remember who from. Also these bad boys turned up just before

Thanks man. I've got a hicas eliminator kit here ready to go. Plan to put it in when i do subframe bushes and diff so I don't have too much down time. It has a hicas lock bar in atm but the joints are flogged out a tad.

Started running like shit again on saturday night, sputtering and carrying on. Checked it all yesterday and found my battery was only getting 12.8v @2k rpm. Threw a new alternator in and good to go, 14.1v at idle. Took her for a drive, drives mint again. All my stuff from Jesse streeter has been ordered now, cams aren't in stock again till later this month so will be waiting a little on those. But my stubs and headgasket are getting sent off shortly

Car was running weird af after my radiator change, so just decided to rewire my fuel pump to see if that was a cause. Did that today and she seems to be running sweet! Still hunts on idle every now and then which sucks ....

Got off my ass today after work and decided to throw the new rad in. Little bit of fkin around but not too bad. Was mainly because I couldn't see much once the sun went down..... Keen to see how this goes. Will be changing the radiator cap to a Tridon 1.1 bar some time shortly as well. More shiny stuff in bay

That's it, I own the plates so I could sell them as well if i ever wanted too. $550 is really good if it's a plate you can have anything you want on it.

No problems for me mate, few hits with the hammer and it popped right in. I haven't yet, was waiting until i get my diff built and then do subframe bushes and hicas elim all at the same time.
