Well the good news is i've fixed my gearstick issue (genuine toyota parts :P) it prob needs a 500-1000km run to bed in properly but meh a nite at the drags should be just as good.

The bad news is.... i'm all out of excuses.... it's just me and machine now! So providing my visa card decides to start working again i'll be there just after 5pm

;)

Seems I don't even need to post my times :P

Did a 13.0 @ 112.9mph (1.79sec) still with gear problems. The clutch appears to be engaging even with my pedal on the floor (car is creeping forward at the lights, had to use my handbrake to try and hold it back). I'll try and get that looked at b4 next wed and head back out there again.

Still though, I did a new pb for 60ft, ET, TS so i'll be back again shortly :D

Hey Ben i was there watching you, i was with some people in the stand taking a break when you started and they were like hehehe he's missed a gear! but silently i knew you had troubles.

I was happy with my outing though, a 14.1 at 97mph stock except exhaust!

ben, it sounds like you have a hydraulic problem (possibly slave cylinder). I had a smiliar thing on the GTR. just enough of a slight leak so that it wouldn't push the fork far enough to completely disengage the clutch, which meant creeping, and difficult gear slection. a new slave is only about $70 from nissan and you can change it youself in about 10 mins. if you are skinny you can probably even do it without jacking up the car (needless to say, i had to jack it up!).

Yes it certainly has an issue, hydraulic or whatever i'm not sure but i'll be getting it looked at sometime hopefully before next wednesday so I can get back out there again.

I'm not resting until I see 11's :P

    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
    • I could see someone trying this to save money on oil changes.
