Good time, will be hard for me to beat you!

 

Maybe, maybe not, it always depends on the day

Best time of the night?

As many runs as you need?

A bag of delicious hot cinnamon donuts for the victor?

I'll run first then park up till needed, or, WSID closes, whichever comes first.....😜

.... sorry was that with the MT's or with a regular R888 tyre?

275/40 17 MT's mate

I'll have another play in a month or two and see if I can crack a 10.???

I actually forgot to soften up the rear suspension, and also forgot to press the performance button to let it rev out a little more 

Next time I'm going to set up my phone to record everything that is happening on the dash, like launch rpm, shift points, and what mph and gear I'm in at 12? Mph, I'm not sure if I was right at the top of 3rd or it changed into 4th at the line

Also, remembering to hit the trac and performance buttons, loading up the trans a little, slowly "mashing the pedal" is all apparently to hard for me to do, LOL, but, at least I can only get better

If was balls deep fun though

I'll be keen after All Crap Day, provided my car hasn't exploded or ended back on a trailer/hoist/jackstands

That's just the game we play mate

I'm now looking at a little vibration at high RPM, maybe the 30 year old flogged out tail shaft?

Smile and wave, smile and wave

It cracks me up to no end that you have a fridge in the car! There's something about the thought of hitting the drag strips with cooled pastries in the back that just hits right.

Have you ever been to Patisserie Schwarz in Wentworth Falls? If you are out that way it's well worth stopping by. Proper Western European pastries. It gets a bit busy and not a lot of seating but their baked goods are top notch.

Currently sitting under my desk at work running on 240v, it holds my milk and lunch

My milk tended to "evaporate" pretty quick in the kitchenette fridge that everyone has access to, so I needed to take measures

Must work with some jackc*nts to have to do that.

Vibration in rear or front?

once that vibration sorted would have to be one of the tidiest and sorted commodores out there.

 

I feel it is probably tail shaft, it is a body type shake over 80mph, and doesn't get better until under 80 mph

I'm "thinking" tail shaft anyway, I've booked it in to get Autotech to get it up on a hoist and have a good look

Some new rubber tailshaft coupling bushings and a new centre bearing on the 20 year old girl can't hurt anyway, so that may be a quick, relatively cheap, shot gun approach to start with anyway, justified in my mind as preventative maintenance

Preventative maintenance stuff helps me sleep well at night

The Matouks boys would be shaking their heads at this comment. Bipolar R33 gtst recently went 6.49 221mph 1/4 full bodied and still running irs rear end on 275's. I think that's the fastest 33 gtst in the world, also has sunroof. Covers off that record too. Lol.

Yours should do an easy 10 with traction. I know, easier said than done.

 

Sorry MLR for non bogan content.

I could thrown on Simmons on the car, white walls dis dat, instant @The Bogan approval.

Nope, Skylines need to run stuff from J to keep the "ricer" look, like vented bonnets and neons, and 3 ft long exhaust tips

Yes, I know and apologise for using the word ricer, but you cannot be a true bogan in a Skyline, as you cannot be a ricer in a Commodore 

Sort of like how rednecks drive American cars

And fat old white guys with arthritis ride Harleys

I'm still out on the classification of the R30-31 Skylines though, they are a sort of fusion blend of bogan and rice.....Bogice????.....Rigan?????

I apologise to no one

But love youse all

Bogrice sounds good, when you have a succulent Chinese meal from a dodgy food court behind Woolies CBD and your bog contains rice.

Typical R31 are from a stratum somewhat below you common or garden bogan. I think feral is the best description.

Maybe I should of got one of these before they commanded drug money

Just dropped the car off to Autotech Engineering to diagnose the vibration I'm getting 

Hopefully just the tailshaft couplings or centre bearing

They are going to stick it up on a hoist and have a good look and see if the couplings or bearings are showing wear, if they looks alright they will stick it on the dyno and try to replicate it and go from there

It never happens on the street doing 110kph on the hwy, or when I'm giving it some beans, but, once the car hits around 140kph at the strip it starts to vibrate and increases all the way up to when I back off at the line doing 200kph

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
