  1. Cheers mate R33 gearbox is finally all finished, not because of any issues – just laziness on my part. The pedal feel is definitely softer with the bigger slave, maybe my left leg wont be as worn out and I must say, bleeding clutch lines is a bitch! New front Ferodo DS3000’s are done. Don’t rate the fit though as I had to shave down 2mm off each pad and enlarge the retaining bolt hole to get them to fit. The old pads are a “performance street” pad and didn’t last too long. 1 hillclimb/motorkhana thing and 1 sprints day. About 30 laps of wakie all up, I may of heat spotted them too… And I have added some 25mm Bolton spacers to the rear and raised it 1/2in to try and gain more rear traction. Finally some decent fitment on the rear, fronts came too close to the guards and would foul when cornering i think. Looking forward to the Fatz’ Mini superlap this wend to blow the webs out before Nats next month.
  2. whats the going rate for the above jobs? need to do some heat management on Grumblebee.
  3. Well, not much done lately. 25 box is in, s3 auto cross member for ease of installation J. Just waiting on the new yoke and uni to show up. For the slave cylinder, I went down this path… http://forum.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?topic=148153.0 I’ll let you know how it feels once its bled. Size difference between standard and hilux Gear lever was cut down in the past. Tapped a new thread on to it and attached a new gear knob. Tread locked so it doesn’t come loose (hopefully) And lastly, while at the last sprint day I was told/recommended to put on end plate/fence? on the edges of the splitter. Again this is a temp/test one so don’t judge too harshly... eventually it’ll just be a 31house bar with a splitter. to be painted..
  4. wow!, cant deny that the wing was doing something.
  5. actually, bugger it. i'll enter so people have something to laugh at. "Look at silly person trying to push his brick through the air!"
  6. thats true. i want to take mine to the strip, just saying that any longer than that in my car i'd need to take a book while its bouncing off the limiter for next 500m
  7. Only when theres a corner in 100m
  8. gear ratio thingys show mine topping out 220-230kmh
  9. Whatevs finish yours already!
  10. will be good to blow the webs outta the coupe!
  11. mine would be at the limiter before the 400m mark Are there some special cars with long gear ratios or something going???
  12. would i actually be required to do work??? Pretty cushy overhere on the darkside Cejay
  13. Thought i'd post up this season's shell
  14. some more recent ones of mine after i tried to do a jump...
  15. how did you find the difference in sliding after the camber mod?
  16. I'll probs be rocking the rover for this one, dont think gb will be together...
  17. bit sad to see the old silo go, but gts1's are the bomb + as it's one of fatz', it'll be used to hard launches lol.. where are you getting the mani coated and how much is it?
  18. where do you find the sup regs for vehicles? Wouldnt mind having a go at one
  19. Had a good day on Sunday at the TCC Supersprint:) Managed 4th outright out of 60 entries with a 1:07.7, 1st & 2nd was the Juno LMP3 running 57s and 1:02s and 3rd was the Twin Turbo 1uzfe Celica on full slicks (got me by .1 of a sec) The splitter held up well despite being 80mm of the deck and ripple strips. a definite improvement on the last one. I have decided to chase more mechanical grip as all the car wants to do is slide under power, so a few things are on the cards. Im picking up a stagea rear subrame tonight, after tax im going to get a set of wider offset rims and some slicks some pics from the wend http://www.facebook....37426386&type=1 this thing was bloody quick!
  20. Take car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?
