My speed cut is still in as well - sucks eh?

yeah?

so how come I hit XXX+5 and had long-forward-neck and then you belted past about 20 kms faster?

I might have taken my foot off at that stage, but not by much!

there was one point when we got stuck behind that 4wd and the car with the canoe on top.... I was fuming! but then we went past that multi and Im sure had I not beendoing 55, I would have been doing something horrifically not-55!!

Ken, Not a problem for me, I'll sleep with you:p

On the way home after dropping Aidwin home I was driving enthusiastically at the double ton, hard to swerve left and right to avoid traffic, then the car died, I will still doing a ton and a half! Luckily it was in a straight line. Was it just fuel starvation from the sideways action?

See'ya:burnout:

Died ?

As in rolled to a halt , sputtered once , dash lights came on ?

Be more specific.

Cheers

GTR's seem to get 200kmh before the limiter comes in.

neo

car has tein coilovers with dodgy-install usingone spacer instead of 2 to try and make it lower!

when it came in it wsa on 35s and was the lowest skyine Ive ever seen. pimpin only - cause you couldnt turn the wheel past 5.

have jacked it up about 5-6 inches to put it through the pits.

now seek to arrange a "compromise height".

Died, as in battery and oil light came on, had to re-start the car while rolling at 150:D

See'ya:burnout:

why didn't you just bump start it ?

Sounds weird, sure you havn't got a loose terminal or something ?

How much fuel was in the tank ?

Cheers

Aidwin,

I think I still need to sort out my brakes, even once hot there not that great:p

See'ya:burnout:

Brakes , biggest killer of speed.

Trouble with good brakes is they cost.

Go DBA slotted , Castrol srf or AP660 brake fluid with a good bleed and Pagid blue pads in the front with Bendix ultimates in the rear.

Adjust the brake pedal height to take out 90% of the freeplay and viola"

A good brake you can trust.

Cheers

Ken

    • I definitely do recommend having a fab/grinding/dirty shed or area to keep all that grinding dust out of your main shed.Ā  But you're right, it doesn't matter how much room you have you still end up filling it! I might even do a short video which will make it easier to fully take in the horrors of what I've created...
    • Actually No, Iā€™m not as intuitive as u
    • 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. šŸ˜­ 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.
