ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Steve you bitch! Damn it, I go out for a few hours and look what happens :rofl:

Steve, if you want to do some kind of a swap (with cash adjustment if need be) let me know mate. For your type of driving the 540's would be much better suited. It makes perfect sense to do a swap :rofl: We can chat about it at work tomorrow.

Either way, thanks for teeing it up Martin :P

Hey Matt, how's the single plate clutch holding up to all the abuse?

Have you noticed any slippage in 4th gear yet?

Cheers,

matt

A deal has been struck. Thanks Steve, you're a champ :spank: If all goes according to plan I'll be heading to AIR tomorrow night to see how I go :D

Matt, no prob's so far! Surprisingly the single plate has handled the job without protest. Then again I did manage to get over 20 passes out of the OEM Nissan clutch, some with 250+rwkw onboard.

AIR does have a website, but I can't remember what the address is? Try a search on SAU under 'AIR', as I recall someone posting a link not long back.

I'm gonna give it a good shot Steve! Just noticed GOT BOOST in WA ran 11.67 @ 120mph (1.6 60ft !!!) on 555R's, so even with my shitty driving skills I should go 1.8-1.9

Nice - I'm probably going to go os giken twin plate now. The singles just don't last! :spank:

Yeah - the Supra which ran a 10.9 ran a 1.63 60 ft with jap coilovers (ie stiff)... The nitto's are superb for that! You just have to rip a monster burnout to get heat in the tyres!

Cheers,

matt

That's the plan Joel. To get the Nittos doing their job you have to go for a big burnout. I'm ready to progress to Burnout Basics 102 :spank:

With over 350rwkw I can see why your clutch can't handle it Matt! With decent grip you should be looking at low 11's at least mate!

Yeppo!

All else going to plan (and it never does).. If I can get my 60fters down to a 1.6, I should be able to run a 10! :spank:

Realistically - low 11's would be good though!

PS - How are you on the gearchanges? Are you savage enough that it'll chirp 4th?

Cheers,

matt

Hahaha... you got in before I edited my last post mate. Yeah as I said above at the very least you'll go low 11's with BIG mph.

EDIT: Helps if I read ALL the post!

No mate I'm fairly soft with my gear changes. Quick, but not brutal. I never even get 3rd chirping! Unless the track is very slippery and my tyres aren't hot enough, in which case it doesn't just chirp it spins!

So when are you out next to test these nittos? I'll be very interested to see how low your 60fters get!

Cheers,

matt

Yuppo - I'm hoping to crack 125mph next time I go out.

Re: gearchanges - yeah same - I'm too afraid to be hard on the gearchanges as I'm afraid of the car going sideways at 100+ mph... Nitto's should sort that out though!

Cheers,

matt

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
