If this Wednesday is any good weather wise i will be trying to head out to the Creek again to better my 13.6 PB 

all parties interested welcome to come play

good news on the gearbox front...its fixed. It seems that the d1ckheads who put it together put 3-4 bearing sleeve on backwards causing it to creep and throw the clearances out....pick it up on Sat. install Sat night. with luck race next wed.

I'll be there also... Trying to blind you while you're doing a burnout and when taking off at the christmas tree's... LOL... Anyone who is out there should be getting a few snaps of their cars while on the line and in staging lanes... If anyone especially wants a video of their run/s please let me know prior via email: [email protected] and i'll film you from the line... All the best and hope to see you out there...

Sounds great Steve....love to have a vid of a 10sec pass in the beast if i get there! Will let you know how the car is on monday.

i will be there, as well as many of the nissansilvia.com members since we are having our WSID night this coming wednesday. hopefully the weather permits, allready the NSCC meet got cancelled due to rain last wednesday :D

ive only been to WISD once, and the best time i managed was a 13.4 @ 111mph on 18" blingers in full street trim. No octane booster etc. nothing. i screwed up every launch bad. so hopefully now i will go into the 12s :P

cheers all if you see us around dont be scared to say hi.

Hi Paul, nice to here you got your box back lets hope it works this time.

Got my OS box today but dont know when we will have time to put it in.

It would be good to run our cars heads up.

Hi abflug.......replying on pauls behalf...........yep that would have been great abflug. we are both pulling our hairout. (well I am as pauly has none!). Paul was all ready to head down to sydney to pick the box up 2moro, but we have been told late 2day it's still not ready. Oh well.....as they say......'good thing will come to those who wait'

man i went backwards wednesday night

I improved my 60 foot times from 2.2 to 1.9

but i lost 3/10 tenths at the finish for a best of 13.9

and was also down on speed normally 166 km/h i was was at 160km/h

I will not race again till i have some more power

BU5TER:

The car has been put on the backburner as I am still overseas. But I will get stuck into it as soon as I get back to Oz. Still haven't settled on which ECU I am going to use. And yours?

DIRT: my fingers are permanently twised from crossing them so much. Patience is a virtue, especially in this game. ;)

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
