Hi Guys,

Here is another video I found that somone has took on the 9.7sec run from the hill at palymra,

The sound is just awesome Ben, LOOOOVE it! :D

That gear change to 4th was absolute lightning fast as well.

Yes 3rd to 4th was ridiculously fast with this ignition cut, hopefully when we take the car back out in 2 weeks time, we will be trying to flat shift every gear with no clutch. Plus alot more boost and timing.

Only got to see one of your runs at the king of the hill on Saturday. But didn't catch the times you ran. 9.5 something i thought i heard. Looked really strong. Was keen to catch up with you guys for a yarn but had to bail early.

Up until you guys came up I had the gtr track record up here in Townsville but you sure gave my 10.7 a fair touch up. Haha. Mine is set up for Tarmac rally though..

Top effort. Might catch up with you at prossie drift when you get that 13 finished.

Coop.

Yeah sorry about taking your record Coop my bad lol, there was suppose to be a meet on at Palmyra that weekend but it was cancelled, and we wanted to more testing before Jambo so we decided to come up to Townsville for a run. We ended up getting a 9.5sec pass @ 144mph with a 1.4sec 60ft. The track conditions were not the best put we were still impressed with the times considering we changed nothing to the car besides the rev limiter which was but out further and changed driving style. Looking forward to Willowbank to see what times we do on a really sticky track.

We did also have our first mechanical failure, but was to be expected poor old clutches don't last forever, so it has been pulled out and sent to Doug at NPC to do his magic. Which will be great to have a fresh clutch before Jambo. I will post up some vids from townsville when i get a chance.

Yeah would be great to catch up with you Coop may see you out drifting my 180sx is still gonna be awhile yet but when it is, gonna be freaking awesome fun.

Here's some pics of clutch that's had a hard life:

8.7 - 8.8 sec is the goal which is what we are aiming for a Jambo this year. A retune to 36psi + maybe a bit more (currently running 27psi), put rev limiter to 10500rpm (currently 9000-9500rpm) combined on Willowbanks Super Sticky Surface it will be very possible. Just from changing from Palmyra to Willowbank should give us 0.5sec gain straight up.

    • 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
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
    • No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.
    • For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.
    • Hey all, I went to try and fix my indicator not canceling, but I couldn't remove the clockspring cable under the column so I could twist that green thin. Anyone know how to remove this cable? I see this red tab but didn't have any luck. I was thinking of unscrewing it but wasn't sure if it would cause issues. I did notice for my indicator stalk, 2 out of 3 cables were plugged in but the last cable wouldn't fit in the stalk. I'm getting it's for fog lights. It was like this when I originally pulled it off.
