Sat. 23-12-06 T&t @ Willowbank


Recommended Posts

It's been a few years and 2 cars ago since i've participated in a T&T. I've had my new tip-to-turbo exhaust done for a couple of days now and i'm keen to get it out on the strip and give her a floggin'.

I HOPE being around Xmas time will make it a quieter night, because as i remember, it is usually quite busy....i hope.

At this stage, a mate and i will be heading down regardless, but it'd be nice to catch up with a few 'lines on the night.

well i had fun but didnt get the time i was after. I blame the operator, rather than the tools :)

I ran 6 times from 4:30-9, so it was an average sized turnup....a lot of bikes in fact.

Best 2 runs were (60', ET, KPH):

2.211, 14.415, 153

2.132, 14.410, 157

On every run, i either got axle tramp off the start, or bounced the limiter in a gear, or both, so none of my runs were ideal. I was hoping for a 14.1, but i recon i current trim and a good run, it's only good for 14.2, 14.3. The 2 runs above felt pretty consistant.

Met Mort and few other non-SAU 'lines, but left early, as i got my runs done in the arvo before the crowd.

oh, and the most impresive partner i raced beside was a turbo+nitrous Swift GTi. It pulled a 60' of 1.791 (thanks to slicks), ET of 11.042@215kmh! Awsome little rocket, but then again, i'm partial to the little dungers, as i used to have one :)

Hey sorry i didn't see you before you went, saw a few of your runs thou, looked like you were doin pretty good.

Mangaged to get a 14.1 :) (60', ET, Kph) 2.241, 14.172, 162.01 wish i knew what i did so i could do it again, and got heaps of axel tramp

Found out that 33's don't like being run with out a pod 2.542, 15.726, 147.14 (shame) :laugh:

Seen that swift a few times now, that thing can haul ass, gave the XR5 a run to, not to bad but lacks out on the top end, i reacted 0.178 slower but just beat him he had 2.242, 14.966, 153.30 and i had 2.507, 14.766, 161.47

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
