He was trying so hard in the end that he musta let the clutch out too quickly and the hole front end bunny hopped and he launched off the seat and nearly over the handle bars. The next set of lights he congradulated me on a smooth car and turned off a side street.

was it a postie bike??

I've had my ass kicked a few times, but only by other imports, never by a Commonwhore, except at the drags. I find it very off-putting at the drags when you line up against an RX3 and when the last orange lights up you see them wheel stand from the launch and by the time you getting into 3rd they have already finished. I get owned alot at the drags, but not by Strichnine.

See'ya:burnout:

i've never been munched .. except for my friends 180... thats cause i usually never race anything i know i can't beat ... better to be safe then sorry hahaha ... i beat a motorbike yesterday LOL ... but it wasn't anything flashy ... i love beating them SS ... these days whenever i stop at a light with an SS they dont' bother anymore ... maybe cause they know how good a skyline is these days ..

Not really... I tend not to race any more, particularly now I've got my button clutch (it's bloody impossible to launch). I did have a run with a mate's S6 twin turbo RX7 the other night, let's just say we were both very surprised at how it went :(

On the bike I'm yet to be beaten from the lights... but then I haven't raced anyone either, not properly at least, so you could say it's a perfect record :P It doesn't really start to go until second gear anyway, and if you're right up it, that doesn't start until around 120. Tall gearing rocks :D

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
