G'day all

I have time off work to finally take my "finished" R34 down the quater on 15th Feb so thought I'd see if anyone is interested?

Let me know for those interested in meeting up down there.

Would be great to get a group of skylines to try and put a few V8's back in their box ;-)

Cheers,

Brendan

yeah I'm just about ready for another blast.. payed for the SS license so might aswell get some runs out thumbsup.gif

come on there must be more peeps that want to race and see what their car can do ???

maybe if we call it a "cruise" we'll get more interest whistling.gif

Here, here Richard!

Look forward to finally meeting you and hearing that 33 roar!

Surely we can get a good turn out this time - come on people it's not about what time you do, it's about getting amongst it, making some beautiful RB noise and having some fun in my opinion!

I hope its a nice soft set-up to allow it to squat.

rich's gtr has a very sexy roar to it you will not be disappointed to hear it. i need a new flywheel and clutch kit for one car and basically a motor rebuild on the other

Thats a bugger Michael, I have a couple of worn-out clutches in the shed, one has the standard flywheel if you are wanting one...?

And Matt, is there a Tutu with those pom poms :woot:

I hope its a nice soft set-up to allow it to squat.

Well I've raised the rear height and it's on the softest setting but it's still pretty stiff so see how it goes.

I already had a bilstein sports kit which I've just replaced and that was a pretty good set up so I don't think there will be a huge difference with the race kit.

Might see if I can tee up a skid switch between now n then so I can practice doing warm up skids!!!:D

ah the 32 worship.gif

Pretty sure warmup skids are only of benefit if your running drag rubber unsure.gif somebody correct me if I'm wrong,

from my experience, once normal road tyres are hot, the grip goes down hill..

Hey but still fun yes.gif

yep this has been my experience, especially on the track, once hot they are useless, heres what I found after a bit of Googling:

Burnouts are traditionally used to warm up a car’s tires before a drag race. Warming up the tires makes the rubber softer increasing traction and also cleans the tires of road debris like gravel – further increasing traction. Slicks or drag radials are needed for a burnout to have noticeable results on the track, as burnouts using street tires do little more than make smoke and destroy rubber.

All depends on many things.. Try it with and without, you normally get enough runs to try a few different ways of doing it. Personally I liked ~20psi in my tyres and a little spin, but then it was just good fun too. :D

As much as I would like to get back down there since the rules have changed, unfortunately my car doesn't want to hold power steering fluid anymore.. just one more thing to fix.

Yep the fun bit, that's the key to me :rofl:

Have managed to fit one up tonight, so will be doing skids for fun whethers theres benefit or not! Looking fwd to it.

Brendan you can do warmup skids matey - no excuse!

Street cars originally fitted with four wheel disc brakes and air bags can now go down to 10.00 without the loop, licence etc. Looks like my 32 can go down to 10.50 same, no airbag. Before it was lower than 12.00 that I was asked to leave.

Yep the fun bit, that's the key to me :rofl:

Hell yeeeeeeaaaahh! baha I am all about making RB noise my friend ;-)

I'm hoping you fellas will be impressed with my new exhaust set up - It's the loudest non GT-R I've heard without an external waste gate.

    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au  
    • Does have series 2 airbag steering wheel and passenger side airbag also.
    • Do I have a series 2 or has someone spent money to have a series 1/1.5 look like a series 2? Everything I have read says the series 2 came out in 1996. I have a car manufactured in December 1995. The exterior, engine and interior are all series 2 other than the dash facia is series 1. Paint code is also kr4 that I believe is only available on a series 2. I have a VX Vehicle History Report and it says Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Manufacture date: 1995-12 Make: NISSAN Model: SKYLINE Body: E-ECR33 Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Engine: RB25DET Drive: 2WD Transmission: F5
    • I went to Repco to get them to test the battery using their tester (not a volt meter), alternator shows 14.3v when running, and when the car was off after the it was on full load I think it was 12.6v but the guy said it was all good. Terminals are all clean, no corrosion. Though I coulda sworn when I tightened up my alternator belt the car idles a bit higher and the steering wheel shakes a bit until it's warmed up. I wanted to confirm for the earth cable/s, are you referring to the 2 wires that are bolted onto the frame rail under the battery? I might be overthinking this a bit.
