Thread revival.

After powercruise I had decided to leave the drag radials on, ordering a another pair soon so I can put my 18s back on the rear. Its the only tyre that has decent traction.

Took the car to the drags in June and only managed a feel out run before I destroyed the diff and snapped a half shaft :(

The spline from one of the shafts spun inside the axle gear which pushed it apart, then the other shaft snapped clean. Even though one gear broke I had to order two from Tomei which was a wallet killer! Could have almost bought a new diff.

So I only did a 12.3 at 137mph.

Done a few cruises and all up put about 1500kms on the motor. Took it out last night for a run up the mountains to fill up at the new United in Blaxland that sell E85.

Much better drive for me than going to Rozelle for fuel.

So now Im just doing some little tidy up stuff and would like to get the car resprayed at some stage.

Here are some vids from last night:

Awesome car! I love the first video of you feathering the throttle on flyby, awesome power and sound!

Do you also run on 95ULP at times or just E85 the whole time? Do you need to make any changes to the management system or does it self adjust to accomodate between the different fuels??

I've got a United servo near me that sells E85 (conveniently on the way to Calder Park too) so would love to run the odd tank here and there but not all the time. I've got a Power FC though.

Cheers.

    • Hi All Does anyone know what size bolts are used to mount the bonnet hinge to the bonnet on an R32 GTR please? I'd usually just buy them OEM but they are nearly £20 each and I need all 4
    • interestingly enough, i found out the answer is yes. doing a flush did fix my recurring A/T light. it might have been because of the trans filter: but that doesn't really make sense to me. the fluid/filter was super dirty. would that increase the pressure in the lines and trigger an A/T light? does the car even have a way of detecting that? i have no idea. i've done 200+ miles after the flush and no A/T light. if my A/B solenoids went bad, i would think the light would've come on. shifts and drives way better now though...at 2k rpm instead of 2500...no hesitation and downshifts when i want it to. 
    • I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD
    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
