Yah when I spoke to him he was iching for a 13.4 :P

Nice time meggs. You must've left before I got there coz I dont remember seeing your car.

It was a last minute decision to go and I didnt plan to race. We got there late and didnt decide to run until about 8:45, then the burnout comp started, and I didnt get a go until about 9:40 (ended with 4 runs).

Best was a 13.803 @ 102.84 with 2.332 60'. I was very disappointed coz I ran a 13.83 @ 101.53 at Heathcote with less mods and crapper tyres. MPH is consitantly up tho, the lowest being 101.54, I just couldnt get the car off the line. My 60' times were dismal :throwup: and changes into 2nd were shocking :spew:

I've got a 13.4 begging somewhere, I can sence it :)

Current mods:

Blitz Front Pipe (For sale is anyone wants it)

Batbml Big arse cat.

Futsitubo Power Getter Exhaust (Silencer out of course)

Apexi Pod filter (Carbing style box almost ready to go in).

DrDrift boost valve set to just below boost cut, about 12 P.S.I

That's it.

Waiting in the wings are a Cusco 4.2 kg (!!!!) flywheel

HKS Cooler kit

Power FC.

Hoping to crack 12s with new Flywheel and Clutch, and anything after that is just a bonus.

PS. Times done on crappy "Wanli" tyres of unknown origin.

I have nothing to compare them against as I have never changed tyres before on the Skyline.

I can't say I can complain too much as they hook up really well on the street, and the 60 ft times speak for themselves....

Alright.

Run down of my Calder Park expedition.

Run 1. 13.737 @ 102.43 with 2.137 60 ft

Run 2. 13.831 @ 100.89 with 1.952 60 ft (missed third gear)

Run 3. 13.582 @ 102.49 with 1.999 60 ft

Run 4. 13.513 @ 102.50 with 1.987 60 ft

Run 5. 13.493 @ 102.42 with 1.963 60 ft

See attached time slip for last run.

I reckon that’s about as fast as she will go in the current set-up.

Cheers

BASS OUT

    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
