Yeah, it will be interesting to see how it goes, traction is going to be a problem, but i want to run on my street tyres. I haven't run my car with the new motor, last time i ran with the RB20 and 190rwkw it ran 12.9 @ 117mph, hope to improve on that time a fair bit.

hehe u wish Pawley .... no breakfast, but we can mini-cruise out there if anyone wants. We'll be leaving my place at around 9:30am, so anyone who knows where I live, you are invited :(

brekkie at nuskie's?

So you're coming?

WICKED, WICKED!

sky30, be interested to see your car run.

You say you ran 117mph with 190rwkw?

That mph seems VERY high for the power, a typo maybe? (107mph?)

If not, maybe the power figure is low. (all this assumes your car is std weight.)

Anyway, on street tyres, we're definitely in for a show with your new power figure.

I've seen a few guys try to get that kind of power off the line on street tyres, and it's not easy.

Best of luck, and we'll catch you tomorrow!

I could only manage 12.4 @ 120mph, no traction untill 4th gear. As i thought wheelspin was a major problem, some better tyres and rear shockers will help next time.

Chops:- The Rb20 ran consistant 116-117mph passes, it had better top end revs than my Rb30.

Hi there sky30!

Saw you running yesterday, but didn't get a chance to come say G'day!

Car looks nice mate.

Your mph is up there, and with more traction 11s are calling.

What sort of 60's were you running. We all commented that it was hard for you to get it off the line cleanly.

Look forward to hearing about the improvement.

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
