New Gearbox Oil?
Abo Bob replied to stuartlaw_78's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Well since we're all talking about it. I have an older gearbox with some cheap unknown oil in it. Box has around 230-250k on it. On sunday at the drags as the day progressed it got harder and harder to get into 2nd gear from high revs. I had to shift below 7k and that worked but late in the day even that wouldn't work. Crunched 2nd gear bad and wouldn't go it even. Smurfs blood? -
Gearbox, Clutch, Tailshaft, Diff
Abo Bob replied to INFRNT's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Ok, a little hard to understand exactly but I'll give it a go. Gearbox - what's broken? Why are you pulling it out if not just to replace clutch? Clutch and flyerwheel related - some clutches come with a flywheel. I personally have a GTR clutch rebuilt by Jim Berry. It cost about a grand. I used a GTR flywheel. I give up on knowing how much power I have but I have a 4 door R34 and have run 111mph at the strip. This car is definitely heavier than R33's. Maybe 80-100kg. I did a drag day on sunday and did 37 runs over the day. The clutch is still fine. This is a single plate and quite bitey but can be slipped. That UAS flywheel seems like a good deal to me. Drive shaft - why? For weight? Diff - what are you using the car for? I smashed the CV's on one side last time out at the drags with whatever power I have. (250rwkw give or take) GTR drive shafts can be used but need hubs and diff as well. For track a 1.5way centre would be the way to go. If dragging with decent tyres then you will probably break rear CV's. Standard diff will be open wheeling after not too long at all. It wont smash, just open wheel and give you the shits cos you wont be able to get the power down. -
Bedding In Gearbox And Clutch

Are you suggesting this as an alternative to smurfs blood? -
SEVS? I thought they were going to sell them here new.

Conf, you should have yours now. There is one more set to go out so I am now closing this group buy.

Yeah I think we need to get the event running super smoothly before we can make it competetive like that. TBH the more competetive you make these things the higher your chances of having people have a big whinge afterwards but having it a little competetive makes it fun I think. Turismo did up a spreadsheet with a points score which he sent me and I now attach. He also said: Results_Texikhana_Points_by_Turismo.zip

Abo Bob replied to DRFTD_32's topic in Events Archive
Yes I was there briefly. 237rwkw. Today I got 109-111mph on the strip. What do the boffins have to say about that? -
Ahh now I know why I haven't seen your car around for so long. Didn't you blow it at a drag day a while ago I was at? Hmm maybe not, can't remember how long ago, maybe too long the one I'm thinking of.

Now back to doing my tax. Can I claim the case of beer I gave my dad for helping me paint my rental?

I have made countless attempts to correct the media by writing letters or emails and making phone calls. They simply do not want to hear. I cannot even get the courtesy of a reply, not even once. I've been speaking to my sister who is a newspaper journalist and I will be endeavoring to put some official press releases out there. I previously didn't know how to do it but now I do. Personally I am on a crusade to totally marginalise all mainstream media. I f**king hate it. I don't watch tv, I only listen to JJJ and I read the SMH, Tele, Fin Review and Aus so that I can compile all their spins into something I hope approaches the truth. I also get information from the internet. Rebel people! Just remember, everyone has their angle, including me, although I hope I've spelled it out here. I might also add that I write to our politicians quite regularly and of the replies I get, and there are not many, 50% are nothing more than acknowledging the communication, 30% pass the buck and the other 20% give a genuine answer to the questions I ask, although it's usually utter shit I appreciate the fact that they bothered. If you want to change shit you gotta do shit. The people in power, whether they be politicians or media mongrels, thrive on the fact that most people do nothing to stand up for what they believe in. f**k, most people don't even really believe in anything anyway.

Also we promised that one lucky entrant would win his or her entry free. I went here to this random number generating site and it said entrant 19 which was yogi000 was the winner. Mate if you want to make our life easier we could give you free entry to the next one you can make it to or we can post out a cheque if you're desperate for the cash.

Hmmz, I need more points. I think I got fastest GTT again and maybe loosest pants...

This one is pretty funny too. How much power does this GTR of yours have?
-
Haha he's just having a bit of fun and you guys are all biting. Who needs a hug? Hmmmz?

I sent two emails attempting to place an order. First one was about a month ago, maybe 6 weeks. I've given up.

Will your car be running Stan? -
Somehow I'm always more jealous when I knew the R34GTR owner in their GTST days.... congrats mass. I've seen this car a number of times since Aaron brought it up here, even tried to drive it by accident at the dyno day (it looked black and I had Oz's GTR there ).
