nice pic paul - TWOOGLE must have so much more potential considering that your suspension isnt even setup.

what did it end up making awkw? im sure its somewhere in this thread but reading thru almost 30pages seems painful

Thanks Rob. Did a 1.38 the run before and blew the turbo outlet pipe off changing from 1st to 2nd...still ran 9.8

Mate it went 6.0 @ 114 to 1/2 track. What do you think it is capable of at that boost/power level?

Looking back I did 1.39 in the drag-r at 1740kg on ET streets so Meremere's not toooo bad off the line I suppose, its the rest of the roller coaster ride and the bumps and lack of top end grip thats the problem, Reece runs 3-4 10th quicker in Aussie easy, he told me I'd be shocked how much power you can use from 1/2 track compared with here.

On the aborted 9.7 run in the drag-r I had 5.something @ 117mph at 1/2 track and that car has gone on to run 9.4 @ 155mph on a pretty average air frield runway so you'd have to be talking 9.40-9.50 with 6.0 @ 114???

9.4 ??? on low boost?

9.4 on 29psi

turned it up 3 psi and blew the tyres off it (smoked all four right through 1st and part through 2nd) but still ran 9.7. Tyre pressures were a little high and the suspension needs tweaking before we can run more power. Its scary to think we have around 6-7 psi up our sleeve which equates to around 130hp at the tyres. Ive discussed a custom rear cradle with a supplier today with adjustable pick-up points which may be handy.

the 60' times on 29psi ranged from 1.39 all the way down to 1.36. Lots of fun :blink:

10/10 for the sig Paul your a talented boy arent you. I agree with Marko a little bit of smoke would ne nice. Or how about have 2 or 3 different sequences one staging the R doing a massive burnout etc etc you know what i mean.

Congrats Paul on another PB. I am sure that you will soon see the magic 8 pass :blink:

Mark ran 9.38 with the same set-up (turbo kit and box) with 100whp more using the clutch to shift gears. Changed to flatshifting and went to 9.0...so at least 1/10th saved on each shift as well as the added momentum gained with the increase in MPH.

The maths looks to be in my favour for a high 8...but theory doesn't always carry into practice easily.

Paul was good to meet you and was impressed when i saw you run the 9.4, pitty you broke out. did you manage to grab the next gear after all.

yes...was its pass with the car shifting properly, went into 4th like a hot knife into butter. I dont press anything other than the accelerator pedal when going through the traps...this back off when in front or pressing the brakes before the traps shits me. I should have given myself a little more headroom with the dial-in...i first decided to dial 9.47 a 1/10th quicker than my PB which was 9.57...but changed to 9.50. So it wouldn't have mattered either way. Next event ill have more of an idea and be able to bracket race it a bit better. Smashed him at the tree with a 0.02 reaction and the race was over at 1/2 track...he should have bought me a beer for letting him win.

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
