450kw and 127mph? u sure that leak wouldnt have lost you power? i run 127mph and im only just over 500hp on 24psi, only peaked at 23 for the day though.

i don't know mate.

The only way to find out would be to run again

Awesome afternoon. The Evo guys loved it. I finally got to run my Evo for the first time & managed a 12.30 @114mph.

Does anyone know what Phil's best time was in the R35 GTR? I need to pass the info on for an internet article.

Looking back at my videos, I'm starting to wonder how I would have gone if I'd let the car get anywhere near redline...

I just have too much mechanical sympathy I think.

only be way to find out

Back to Willowbank the legume (yes, legume) goes for rev limiting thrashing

Yep, still got a free pass that expires December from a time when test and tune was rained out.

Bought an open face helmet for $40 yesterday since the full face one got too hot on Saturday.

I'll go back out as soon as Sneaky Pete decides to run his car.

Not I :(

I have however ordered some slimline engine mounts to fit my 2.5in intake and 2.5in incercooler piping that have been sitting in the box since xmas. Might as well turn a gearbox removal into a positive right?

Got to the end of the quarter, slowing down, tried to shift from 4th to 3rd and it wouldn't go. Perma stuck in 4th. Was working my way into the launches having never been on MT's before. Didn't feel like I had a single clean run unfortunately. Only made 1 trip to the timeslip booth and collected 2. 1 said 12.5 @ 123, the other said 17.5 at 77.

Wideband saved me again on that run. After burnout I noticed lean. Kept a keen eye on afr's, sure enough under boost was too lean. I had figured the boost feed for FPR had come off, and I was correct, pulled up to check and it was flapping in the breeze.

Every modified boosted car should have a wideband IMO. Cheap insurance.

Nope not engine out. Will sling it and slide the mounts out and install the slimlines :P

Hey mate, where did you get your helmet from. And how did the horse run.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
