I may not be able to go now :D I'm on call that week unless I can swap with some one, I may not even make it as a spectator. I definalty won't be racing as my cooler probably won't be arrived let alone fitted. Hey shauno I'll get Gracie to take the White atmo VL down and maybe you'll have a chance :( Maybe she can have a go against your civic .......ahem *cough* ... I mean prelude... :lol:

What i want to know is who is going to be running at the drags on the 25th of January. I me FWDDRIFTKING is bringing the hondie down, and hopefully big bro will have the atmo turbo siliva ready with new injectors and fuel pump. But is ricknismo going down to punish the GTR that is the main point cause that i have to see. I missed the Street Machines GTR effort cause i had to work.

Also down at the Drags last time when Ricknismo raced was a 1972 ford escort with a VR4 mitsi. motor in it. It managed to pull a 12.6 at 109mph on 16inch street rubber and a open wheeler diff pretty impressive stuff. The car was build by a Mech. engineer in Bundy who went throught uni with my old man. He has a 11 sec series III rx7. And if that aint fast enough for him he also has a 11.0 @ 122 MPH XC falcon with a 460 c.i big block with his own fuel injection system that he made from a wolf 3D. This guys is nut, he just has a pure need for speed

I am in for the 23 of feb(i think that is the right date??)

I hope that big VL monster is going to be there....

I need some number plates too.... I was still thinking 51IDA... which says slida.... don't know anymore crazy cool sugesstions....

Hey rick it's tops to see your skyline down there.... your not scared that is for sure.... I finally am in the process of getting my injectors and then it is bosch motorsports fuel pump and I am on my way.... all the way to the drags that is.... tops!!!

hey nismos car is running better mile an hour but slower times... those diff gears really really suck.... you just can't pedal it off the line... but I was pretty happy with the times.... it's what I expected.... it ran a best of 14.4 on High Boost - Nismo driving

and 14.6 standard boost with me driving....

it was fun anyway... and it didn't spit a turo this time... that was a good thing....

another question for all you tech heads to search up.... i'm not knocking anyone or anything.... however the big and little richo were up nismo about running no exhaust other than the dump pipe... they claimed that it burnt out valves.... has anyone ever heard of this?! it sounds sus to me but I haven't played turbo's for that long.... all I know is engines are heat pumps... air/fuel in then air/fuel out as fast as you can....

so in my opinion dumping the exhaust will only add performance not burn out valves..... makes the car easier to drive to cause with a nasty V8 beside you you just can't hear what your doing in a turbo car.... it really sucks when you *ahem* accellerate quickly to the speed limit beside a noisy V8 or worse still a mongrel rotory... you just can't judge what's going on properly....

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • 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
