Hi guys,

got the car wheel aligned today here in brisbane from bridgestone select, done an awsome job. We settled for Rear left +1.14degree Rear right +1.29 and both toeing in 2.7mm which under full squat the car will pull the rear wheels back to 0 degree and 0 toe, so should hook up good.

Front left -1.83degree and front right -1.46degree, front toeing in 0.8mm and got the caster sorted aswell, because the left front was hanging back the right front was pushed foward, so thats all good now too.

I am a little worried about the amount of toe on the rear as it does seem like alot.

After looking at that video, it doesn't look like your getting enough rear droop to zero out your ass end after the initial launch... Spring rates, compression and weight transfer looks pretty good though.

I'd hate to see the car start getting sketchy in the top end for the sake of marginally more traction (that you may not need).

Must be a blast to drive!

Justin.

The Japs were going faster in the late 90's with H-patterns?

They probably were...it's been a while :)

Definitely fastest/quickest H-pattern street GTR either way.

Looks like there is plenty left in, too.

Hi Guys, Just driving home back to Mackay, I will put the link on the 8.97sec pass up. Also Theo Willot Still holds the World record for fastest H pattern GTR I missed out by .02 of a second, and on Sunday I was gona to smash that time with an ET of 8.8. But third gear smashed into a million bits. I was 3MPH faster by half track than my 8.97 and thats also lifting of cause 3rd blew up. We are under the impression that the selector fork has bent therofore only half engaging 3rd and stripping the teeth off the cog.

Im laying down the challange that this car will run a Mid 8.5sec pass or lower with this H pattern box, as I am only running 150MPH to get 8.97secs and theo done 8.95 at 162MPH, I am only currently running 900-950HP with alot of go juice up my sleeve. Haha.

I will upload the other video my GF filmed later tonight when we get home,

cheers Matt

There is no evidence of a Japanese or American or euro or pommy GTR even running the 8s with a H pattern box, me and theo are the only ones to do it, Yes there are plenty of GTR in the 8s and 7s but they all run Sequential boxes or Airshifted liberties or Lenco gearboxes, which are an easy 0.3 of a sec quicker. Thats why Theos time is a World record that himself or me could ever find recorded.

Yes, how could I forget Theo's time....I don't think it was registered though :D

Either way, fantastic result and hope to see it get close to [RH9GTR]'s 8.47 auto time

btw, what does the car weigh in race trim?

Check out these videos... There are several running 8's with H-patterns

    • 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.
