Golgo did a 12.9 with slipping clutch (single plate) in 1st and 2nd. Oh... and Sam was driving. My best time is a 13.0.

Ran 190awkw on Sunday - but was not going for high power - just wanted some fire :)

The car has an exhaust, pods and PFC - so pretty stock. Plus Leewah makes everything look underpowered. Nigel (Ice Perf) noted recently that the crank-angle sensor is way off tune (from before I owned the car). A set of cam-gears, a new clutch and a 'from scratch' tune should see some higher figures.

Not that I really care - still goes pretty darn quick when I need it too :)

Thanks for your concern though.

Oh - and Golgo is a guy, not a girl :D

Yeah - I was told I had cam gears (even have a reciept for them) yet had not had a chance (until very recently) to pull the cover off and take a peek. Seems that the dealer or previous owner may have removed them and not set the CAS up properly. Has more top-end than it should though.

AF ratio is OK - but O2 sensors are f*cked and as such the car has fuel economy on par with an ocean-liner.

Also - the dyno was set to run up to 200km/h - and my car peaks in 4th around 230/240km/h. But... no excuses to be made, the car simply is not as powerful as some other GTRs, and was never intended to be. It is driven and enjoyed every day, washed at least once a week - and makes a fabulous cruiser. All the while looking pretty pimp and blowing some nice flames :D

    • 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..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
