both gtr s are testing next tuesday or wed...before jambo...

last night test n tune was rained out...

cheers, mark

Any more news if they will be testing today or tomorrow?

I'll be going tomorrow night 200% if they will be there

Yep testing from 11am, Heat Treatments will definitely be there. I reckon there could be a chance today would be a good day to be there if you want to see a world record get cracked...

I will again give any updates I can on Heat Treatments and Godzillas progress as or if I get them. Sounds like Mark was testing yesterday but was overpowering the track, means they aren't lucking in grunt but means there weren't necessarily any exciting times to report.

Fingers crossed today they are there and can tame the beast :rolleyes:

we are not testing today . i have 4 more cars to get ready for jambo...

our day was mixed.. yes getting the power to ground was hard even at lower boost levels in 2 nd and 3rd gear unless we slipped the arse out of the clutch...

we had on pass that went to 1200ft but the timer was set for junior dragster to read only to 1/2 track..

it went 5.13 at 143mph slipping the clutch ...good for 7.7 or 7.8 like reece went..

we have gone 5.00 at 1/2 before with the smaller rear tyres so there is a fair bit to come..

best thing was our 60ft s were all low 1.24 s all day...

saturday we will be ready..

reece s gtr sounds awesome hope they go well today...

cheers, mark

Nice, though bummer you don't have time for more testing. Sounds like there will be 7s all round though so will be an awesome day!

Reece's first run today was a bog by the sounds of it, still trying to find the sweet spot for a sticky Oz track.

I actually don't know if HTR will be racing into the night, or what their intentions are.

Sounds like they are quite happy with traction levels, they have just getting on top of the clutch - next run looks like they might put a little more power into it and see how it goes :rolleyes:

HT have finished testing for today - last run was a 7.73 @ 187mph. They are coming to grips with what it wants and there is plenty in reserve for the weekend, should be a good one! :P

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
