It seems like the motorkhana's are bloody hardwork!

they are in a gtr, so many turns lock to lock ( unlike a quick rack in an evo or sti) but good fun!!!

[dontfeelcold]

Is there no aftermarket steering racks for skylines?

Whats special about the reinmax oil pump gears giant? Where do you get them from?

[LTSJayce]

some vids i put on you tube, seems to play better

cheers russ

Thanks for putting those up! The driver in the second clip looks busier than a 14 year old one armed boy with a stack of Penthose magazines! Is there such a thing as a 'quick rack' conversion for a GT-R? I'd imagine you've looked into this already, judging by the work rate required in the tight stuff...

reimax oil pump gears are stronger gears for the standard n1 oil pump, as we have broken the standard ones before .

and if any one knows of a quick rack for a gtr i would love to hear about it!!

cheers russ

[dontfeelcold]

how much are you willing to pay?

Where can you get the reinmax gears from?

giant,

Is your 4th gear dog engagement? It seems to be a lot quieter once shifted into that specific gear.

Nice lap too!

hi mate

yeah 4th gear is dog straight cut also, but it is one to one ratio so power goes straight through the mainshaft of the box and therefore doesnt make any noise.

dog engagement isn't what make the whine noise. it's the tooth profile on the actual gears. helical cut gears are queit. straight cut whine like hell.

and as giant pointed out 1:1 means not as much whine.

Congrats to both you guys. Bloody good times guys and I look forward to your developments over the coming rounds of circuit battle.

I've watched that video over and over, working out where I go wrong around WP. Keep the vids coming guys.

mate your a gem!! thanks for that

i will be looking into that setup, i would say they would have to be fairly robust to inuse in speedway?? correct?

[T04GTR]

hey russ, not meaning to pick all your parts but what diff ratio you running. or... is it the standard r32GTR ratio hehe.

reimax oil pump gears are stronger gears for the standard n1 oil pump, as we have broken the standard ones before .

and if any one knows of a quick rack for a gtr i would love to hear about it!!

cool. we use a place over in pearth for the oil pumps on the utes. that make them from steel and get rid of the sinterd factory ones. seems rb isnt the only motor to suffer from it hehe

hi mate

we use gts4 diffs which helped lower the ratio but didnt make the difference we were looking for.

cheers russ

p.s : and yeah your dead right, the reimax gears are higher grade steel replacing sintered as well.

do you race utes?

[phunky_monkey]

Hey Russ, could you pop up some pics of the 33 again? The forum changeover has made them unable to be viewed.

Love the vids too mate, very nice GT-R you've got there!

Hey Russ,

Awesome time, apologies for not mentioning it earlier. Will definitely catch up with you and Mark at NSW, Cam's car is now back together and running fine, some last minute wiring issues sorted, and the replacement suspension turned up, though the 17th at QR will be a shakedown on Cusco's instead of the good jobies.

as for Nathan's Rex...well that is a story for another time, hopefully he will get IN it and DRIVE it once before the Dutton...

Cheers

Any of you boys back for Rnd 2 next week?

The Autosalon guys contacted me today but the car still isn't ready - but I will try and make it for Round 3. They were keen on my bringing some other cars from Vic too if I can.

Spoke to Ben today and he said he'd come so will see if a few of the other boys are keen too. Be interesting to see how close to 1.04 we can all get.

[Roy]

Do you have to be close to 1:04. How about budget bangers that may be able to get into the 1:07s if they are really lucky and throw it at a few walls? The competition needs a 2L rwd Skyline to keep all the S13/14/15s honest
