Also yes Adrian 2rismo it was your example leading the way re the burnout thing I just followed the leader. Now you come to our next track day and follow me?

Check out the SAU add on back.

Getting the Groove Rider Fabrications special, including the strut tower tie in support.  Yes still mainly a circuit car and will sacrifice a little weight for better handling for circuit.

Looks like the way we are going, but not until next year as he tells us he is very busy.

Wreckedhead I am pretty confident I will run a 9 in my circuit car before you do and not with current motor, it is for sale as going VQ35 500rwkw and alloy block and 100kg less weight.  I will be waiting for you in the 9 sec club.  Have you even run a 10 and not on Grand Turismo??

thats some funny shit john, do you write your own material. :)

funkymonkey yes it was me, the sun is in your eyes late in the arvo. Then at night the prob I had was that there are no dash lights which we will now correct and often with smoke in the cabin which we need to see where this is coming from and also correct I found it hard to see the tacho. I have a shift light set at 8000rpm and rev cut at 8200rpm.

The smoke may have something to do with the little button labled "smoko" on the centre console... I hear when used in conjunction with the far right pedal this can lead to a lack of vision. Might wanna get that seen to.

Finally got the tyre pressures right and me sorted on the drag racing thing and late in the night  we cracked the 10's last night at  WSID.  Our second event at drags,  and it was on street tyres.

Exact time was   10.894   1.690 60 foot  and 130.85mph  Ambient temp  22C.

The run after that did a 1.597 60 foot but then missed second gear and then ran out of fuel and night was over anyway.

Off to get a roll cage then will be back next year.

Well done John! Nice short times, too.

In case some are still wondering if I actually did it.

I am not sure even some who know me had to confirm with me thinking I may have made it up. Not exactly sure why this is the case and wondering if I lack credability. I certainly never bull crap so?

gee john those BFs certainly get it out of the hole quick. Well done mate, talk with you on monday.Paul...DIRTgarage.

I saw the 11.5 sec pass and I said " Holie Fark"

I got no doubt Johnny boy !

Well done - don't it feel good to get a quantified baseline performance measurement of your cars potential ?? :)

how can a 10 second pass be indicative of a car's overall performance? I think John's track times already have proven his car's potential... the 10 second pass was just rubbing it in our faces :)

    • Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.
    • Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min
    • It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.
    • Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.
    • All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
