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

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
