      you can always hear them when they break and they stop the engine immediately so you can't do any more damage.

          I took the 120Y to WSID on Wednesday night (18.07.07), and ran a best time of 12.59 @ 111mph (1.88 60ft!). This is using shitty Nexen 195/50/15 tyres and full street trim. When we let some tyre pressure out to about 17psi, the thing was an ANIMAL out of the line.

          The first run was just a "hold it flat" sorta run jsut to see what needs improvment, big dump off the line, mostly wheelspin, revved all the way out etc etc. It ran 13.2...a good starting point.

          When I got back to the pits, the dipstick had blown out and there was oil everywhere. The breather filter had also blown off. So, we fixed that, and went out again. I shifted very early and took it easy as I was a bit paranoid, which resulted in a 13.4 with no breathing problems.

          We let some tyre pressure out and went out again, left the line very hard but shifted 2nd to 5th...still ran a 13.3.

          The last run left very hard again, and shifts were perfect, resulting in a 12.59@111mph. VERY happy, considering I still have another engine to put in, and an auto, with slicks...

          Heres some pics, video to follow very soon...

                Yeah, this thing is super neat. Should be going a hell of alot harder by the time Supernats arrive. Congrats Mick on running that 12. Too bad the Pit Stop Tavern was closed for pizzas, kebabs just had to do.

                A few more neat little touches will be going into it aswell for a full package at any event Mick enters.

                  Got a few updates here...

                  GT3071R is mounted and exhaust is done. All work was done by Stuart @ Racers Choice Performance Exhausts in Seven Hills. Tial 44mm gate is mounted underneath the turbo (not pictured). All thats left is coating of the exhaust manifold, and running the oil and water lines (which I already got from GCG Turbos). Hopefully its 4-5 weeks away from running.

                    I love the professional look of the entire engine bay, and then white paint pen lables the coils

                    Nice car, big fan of nissan motors in to old cars, obviously

                        That's the nicest 120Y I've ever seen. I know that doesn't usually mean much, but that IS a nice ride.

                          Looks good, pity someone stole your tailshaft and put it on the trailer backwards.

                              Yeehar, Looks killer man! Let me know when to come round next for more work on the beast.
                              How long before the Tail-shaft is done and ready to go in?
                              Did you get the convertor?
