Well I was bored the other Wednesday night so I headed out to Willowbank to see if this CES front pipe made any difference. This was the best run of the night.

Car: 97 R33 GTST sedan

Turbo: Standard

Date: 11/04/2007

Time: 8.55pm

Track: Willowbank

Air Temp: 17 C

Track Temp: 29 C

Humidity: 87%

Reaction time: 0.522

60ft: 2.117

330ft: 5.828

660ft: 8.911

1000ft: 11.548

ET: 13.772

MPH: 101.37

So yeah, I was quite happy with that as I haven't touched a thing on the car since I went out last time except for fitting the CES front pipe and it gave me an extra couple of tenths. I am thinking about getting a set of MT drag radials on a set of 16x8 rims, I reckon I could get it down to the low 13s then, very happy with that considering the level of power mods I have.

Went to the QLD SAU Dyno day held at Godzilla Motorsports. A few weeks ago now I blew my turbo at a track day at QLD raceway. I tracked down a second hand R34 turbo, its a little noisy but will do the job for a while. The car pulled a fairly healthy number considering the power mods of full exhaust with cat, k&n panel filter, 10psi, stock R34 turbo.

Yeah, the turbo was a pain but the R34 turbo has definately made the car feel a little stronger, will see for sure next time I get out to Willowbank.

Went to an all day track day at Queesland Raceway on Tuesday (26/06/07), was a bit of fun being a very wet day. Was a bit of a mistake leaving the RE55s on but I was too lazy to go back to my street tyres. Semis definately don't like standing water. . . .

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
