Bourkey Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 By any chance did you buy the car from Bolton area as there is a garage that had a few where Craig N got his from. All the plates end in RNE. Im sure i have seen you knocking about Radcliffe.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kirkway Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Not been on for a while so a few questions here.The Glanza came from St. Annes & he was the first owner in the UK, supplied by Fuji @ Bell Vue.I'm in Middleton & work at/own Kirkway Service Station. (traders insurance does have advantages )Hi Makaveli, I remember you, you arrived at Helsby Arms with undertray of your R34 scraping the floor if I remember right!Just an update on the Skyline, went to RWYB at York Raceway yesterday & did some runs, best was 12.33@120 first run but car seemed to be lacking power slightly after second run. Couldn't get it off the line properly using 5000rpm, kept bogging down. Had a look at it this morning & found vac/boost pipe to fuel pressure reg had blown off- easy fix thank f**k. Went back this afto & managed a 11.96@ 117.8 droping the clutch at 7000rpm did the trick!- well pleased Not used the Glanza much lately, just can't resist spinning the wheels at take off when I do, GTRs won't do that. Will need a couple of new tyres soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 result, an 11 second pass.you happy with that or are you still wanting more? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kirkway Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 result, an 11 second pass.you happy with that or are you still wanting more?Happy for now, I was hoping to get into 11s and JUST made it. The car has plenty of power for road use (TOO much sometimes) & to increase the boost further (currently 1.25 bar) would probably need forged internals etc. etc. as the car has now done 80k miles & is 14 years old. This would also be rather expensive & use even more fuel which seems to be going up again.So I think I'll just enjoy it as it is for now, it still amazes me how quick it feels. But who knows, maybe in a year or two???Next mods will probably be a nice set of 18" wheels & some uprated brakes. Might (regretably) have to sell the Glanza to fund some of this as I need a new roof on the house & a new carpet in the lounge bloody houses, think I'll live in a caravan.I'll try to get around to doing the exhaust manifold mod & possibly upping the boost/fueling before I sell, just to see what it will do.

Kirkway Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Oh well all good things must come to an end so my little Glanza is now for sale. See the for sale threads, not posted it anywhere else yet, set a realistic price (I think) though happy to negotiate.I'll be sorry to leave this forum as it is very friendly. If it sells off here I'll be happy to make a donation as it is the least I can do. ;) CheersPhil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
