Still find it crazy that cars like this were actually built for everyday driving in the 30s/40s

Love this car

Top figure for six cylinder was mine with 620hp on pump fuel in qaulifying and 616 in finals. Was hoping for over 800 this year but due to a local machine shop which i won't name i could only manage this figure.

I had a crank let go 3 weeks prior to summernats due to being machined like an egg with one thou out of round ( should have listened to you amaru you were right about the machinist)and also valve float issues which limited power up in the revs.

Made 40kw more on 20psi from last year with 430kw on 20psi so is lookin good for the 800 on pump

Not many big hitters this year due to some failures.

Biggest horsepower figure for the weekend was a holden ute with a 540 cube twin turbonetic thumper turbos and methanol runnin 1939 hp

    • 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.
