wicked john - nice pics AND new PB

now u just have to aim for a 9sec pass (but maybe after a tube frame nose?)

ps: is that a bonnet cutout or photoshop layer chop?

a big scoop could look really sexy

Hey mate pretty sure from memory they ended up costing me a little over 200 bucks landed here... Let me look back through my records and ill tell u which Dealer in the states i got them from as i had to call quite a few of them before they would help or send parts international.

Hey John, you do know that old man Jay ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...php?showuser=87 ) has a Q45 halfcut V8 for sale, if you are still looking for one?

And yet again I have to say HAWT DAMN Blacky is still looking freaking awesome!

I remember the first time I heard her, on the radio....." ...cmon little MR2, go go go!!!" :O

Was at the 41st australian nationals on the weekend. Set a new PB of 10.38 @ 132 MPH in the middle of the day.. was quite hot and relative altitude was up around 4000, so there is stilla bit left in it..

Though it has become apparent that we are again starting to over power the gearbox, its fine with street tyres the slicks are just a little too much for it. So after some more research we are going to go with a transbrake equiped powerglide... should hapefully get a considerably quicker ET out of it.

Some pics of the car in its latest state...

Congratulations on the times at Willowbank . Would have liked to be there and hear your car . Cant wait to hear mine on full song flatout with open headers at next years salt lake speed trials .

Am interested in your present auto box if you think of selling it . My box is still the stock auto .

Just goes to show you how tuff these engines are , as you say your internals are still stock .

Cyrus: The chute is sitting on top of the bookshelf in my room... Its going on as soon as the new gearbox goes in.. cant wait..

Don: The sound of these engines with open pipes is nothing short of amazing, i promise you will not be disapointed. and yep!! bog stock original everything except for the waterpump... and the cam chain guides its done well over 200 000k's now.. which is nothing short of amazing..

Forgot to mention, i picked up hydraulink QLD for sponsorship and am curently in negotiations with Mr Muffler about major sponsorship and perhaps a colour change...

Don: if you can make it out to Jamboree ill be doing 3 Qualifiers on Saturday but not racing as the car doesnt quite make the 9.99 cut off for the Extreme class just yet... I promise though its not far off :D

Incredible effort on this two year journey! :D

Read the whole thread, took about an hour but was worth it.... The Highs.. The Lows... the Excitement.... wondering how it was going to end...

Hell, 10.38@132Mph is a happy ending for now!

Don: sorry forgot to answer your gearbox question, my mate is very keen on it as he is sticking one in a drag car of his own, but ill keep u posted if he doesnt take it.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
