Hey guys finally got another car to flog/build. Picked up a early model 180SX off of Rob in Townsville. Goes alright but you know me guys this thing will begin its transformation ASAP, i will be ordering a ship load of parts when i get home next week. Can't wait to hit the prossy track and hang the arse out will be freaking awesome.

Here's some pics:

Might want to rethink the offset, they stick out a bit ;)

Whats everyone up to this long weekend (thats nearly over) anyway?

Now that I have actually got back into photography It'd be good to get a good group together for some photos. Really need to get something happening with the Townsville guys. But they all have unfinished or sold cars. As do quite a few people on here actually...... haha

Think my idea has some problems now that I think about it

I'm working on the car today, need to get this bolt off in my control arm. I also need to get hold of some chassis stands and a heavy duty hydraulic jack does anyone have these i could use for the day?

I think TNT is on this Friday at Palmyra too Cal

Nice man. Do u know a guy that owns a silver commy ute? lowered with 20s?

Saw him driving through fourways last night sounds like he absolutely f**ked his clutch he had hazards on and the engine was making a horrible clunking/ticking sound. Felt sorry for him nearly pulled over.

oh and sean u should buy a jack and stands cos they come in VERY handy, as u will find out

Haha the guy was sitting in his car head in his hands looked shattered so i felt bad. If you send a friend request to http://www.facebook.com/palmyra.dragway they write updates -

Keep Speed off the Streets next Friday night the 15th of June. gates open at 6pm, scrutineering from 6-8pm, racing from 7-10pm. $40 entry (30 for club members), $10 spectator entry.

Yeah i ended up going to Autobarn today and buying 2 stands and a jack for $80 pretty good price.

Test n Tune tonight the track better be f**king sticky i want that god damn 9 sec pass, gonna be running the Micky T's all round.

Also who's up for a drag i will be giving my bro's Navara ST-X 550 a spin diesel power will upset a few V8's i think :action-smiley-069:

Hey everyone done it finally last single digits 9.7 @ 145mph pretty good effort considering the track is no where near in perfect condition was very slippery and was a shit load of due last night. The car is handling the power beautifully and the home made wheel alignment gear is working 100% car drove straight as. Time to bump up the power, get to a decent track low 9's easily possible, chuck all the carbon gear on + more power we will be touching the 8's by jamboree f**k yeah!!!

Got some awesome footage with the 2 go pro's will upload shortly.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
