Hi all, can anyone please fill me in on a little information about weather the hks kansai roll cage is cams approved at all ?? Much appreciated for any and all help and information that you can let me know as I have a hks cage but if not approved for cams entry level I will sell and get one that is... I'm wanting to run my car down the quarter occasionally and would probably run high 9 seconds if not low 10.. thanks again for your help.. cheers

Last time I took my R33 GTST to the drags was 12 years ago - back then I did 5 runs, snuck into 13s on the last run (13.94 @ 106MPH) and was happy with that and drove home.

I'm heading out tomorrow to Willowbank with some mates for a bit of fun and looking for tips - including reducing the risk of breakages and being able to drive home 😀.

Mods - Power FC, FMIC, oil cooler, boost controller, HKS2530 turbo, NPC organic single plate clutch without many km on it + NPC lightened flywheel.

Stock manual gearbox and diff, cheap street tyres (Achilles) with plenty of tread, 245x45x18.

Dynoed at 234 RWKW on PULP 98

Fresh oil, brakes pads/rotors/fluid are in good nick

I've read a bunch of posts in this forum that include advice such as:

• remove extra weight (in my case that would only be the spare wheel, jack etc
• have 1/2 tank fuel, not full
• lower the rear tyre pressure (I'll have a pump to re-inflate). 

My old 2530 turbo is a bit laggy, so I know that I'll have to slip the clutch to get the old girl off the line.

The other guys I'm going with will likely be in high 12s/low 13s (chipped BMW M2 and C43 Merc - both autos), so there'll be a temptation to push things a bit - and I'm seeking guidance on getting reasonable ETs while minimising the risk of breakages (and I accept there's always a risk I'll break something)

I have questions such as:

• what sort of revs do you try to leave the start line at?
• is there any point in doing a burn out on street tyres? I would assume some benefit is gained from a warm tyre compared to cold?
• depending on the number of people running - especially at the start of the session - there may be opportunities to do back to back runs with minimal time between - if oil and water temps are fine, do I just line up again, or should I give the clutch some time to cool down?
• The car doesn't get driven much - I've got 1/2 tank of P98 but it's 2 months old - should I throw in a bottle of octane booster?
• any other tips on getting good ETs in a manual Skyline with minor mods?

It will be a fun night - beating the BMW or the Merc is unlikely, but if I cut a better reaction time and get a good launch I may beat them over the line even with a slower ET....that's the stretch target...

Getting an ET around 13.5s (or better) and driving home after is the primary target 😀

cheers

What Bucket seats for in r31 skylines with little to no fab work?

R32 has the following main modifications :

-Fully rebuilt engine with aries pistons, crower rods, N1 rings, N1 oil + water pumps, tomei cams, power fc pro, 800cc injectors, sard fuel pump, trust fuel rail + regulator, hks evc 3, splitfire coilpacks, tein coilovers (not sure what type but the are low and hard)

-Garrett turbo with 1.00 a/r ex housing (looks like could be TA45S), hks external wastegate, trust intercooler, 4 inch exhaust,

-Trust 6 speed dog box, os giken triple plate clutch, look the list goes on and on ....

The car is running around 1.5 - 1.6 bar of boost with M/T ET Street R16-255/50 tyres at around 16 - 20 psi.

My 60 foot best is 1.701, 1/4 best of 11.02 and MPH best of 129.8 with doing a rwd burnout.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON ? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG ?

Car revs to 8500 as injectors are at 100% at 8800. Using power fc pro lauch control at around 7600 as 8000 + fries the tyres.

I'm starting to think something is really wrong here ? Please any advice from experienced 10 sec or lower GTR racers would be awesome as there is not anyone really seriously modifying GTR's (or any import for that matter) to get real no bullshit info from in the NT.

I need info from people that have actually done this -

What do I have to do to get to at least low 10's/high 9's consistently ? I'm out of ideas as I know I could go for more power but surely that MPH is good for mid 10's at least. Thanks for any help.

Had a good look through, however surprisingly hasn’t been covered.

Looking at getting a bit more squat out of the rear end of my R32, currently has quantum racing coil overs which are more suitable to circuit work.

With the discontinuation of the HKS Hipermax drag coil overs what are people running these days for trips down the strip? car is by no means an all out drag car, i use it for as many different events as possible, however wouldn't mind having a set of rear coil overs to bolt in when looking to do some drag passes 

Cheers,

I have done one skid pan event with it which i enjoyed. 

i have coil overs all round and a locked diff

I need some questions from you guys about general stuff

Ok so i need some Tyre tips:

Wheres a good place where to get a good front Tyre in Vic 

and what tires are a good base for a entry level setup, i was thinking the federal 595? im not to sure.

as for the rears where do you guys get your cheaper rear tires? 

also where do you guys buy your drift components in Australia like (hydro handbrakes, lock kits and other fun stuff)

Be good to get sn idea of what mph a skyline should run with say

300rwkw

350rwkw

400rwkw

450rwkw

Etc.

So people post your mph results (1/4mile or 1/8mile, or both) and what power the engine made, and model of skyline.

Any members on here go to roll racing? I went to the last one as a spectator and went to this one last night as a support vehicle, but ended up entering and having a few runs...

And I have to say, had a ball, great fun and not too hard on the cars, I was rolling up to 50km/h in second gear then planting it at the tree, shifting at 7-7500rpm, car did very well, I was hitting 200-220km/h by the finish line.

Whoop ass wednesday 9th may is skyline night. Everyone with a skyline can come down and have abit of fun for just $20. I will be taking my car down and would be awesome to meet up with anyone else going down to the plex, also if enough of us will go down we could even get our own lane and have abit of freindly rivalry.

After coming so close to the record last year at the 2012 Brisbane Jamboree with a 8.97 sec pass, we were in good contention to take the record, but in drag racing things fail and 3rd Gear decided to throw in the towel after having a promising half track time. This only left us 0.02sec off Theo's time and making us ever so hungry to achieve that goal.

So we decided to head to Benaraby Dragway for the weekend for Round 3 of the CQDRA Championship to give the GTR a run. This is its first run since blowing the gearbox up at last years Jamboree in Sept. Now I really wanna give the guys and gals and Benaraby Raceway a huge wrap for the awesome event they held and the support they gave our car was unbelievable. The track condition was perfect, best I have seen if not better than Willowbank. They are doing a terrific job out there spending a lot a dollars to get that place up to spec. Great Job keep up the good work.

Before I go into too much detail. I got to give our Main Man Mr Mark Jacobsen from Godzilla Motorsport a huge thank you, for all he has done for us, his support and knowledge has been unbelievable without his over the phone late night support that night this would never have been possible without him. Proud to part of the Godzilla Motorsport Team. Secondly another huge thank you to Dave Sheehy at CPV Tuning, for his continual help for the team, his valuable knowledge and input helped us immensely.

Ok to the runs, we not only broke Theo Woollett's previous World record 8.95sec @ 159 Mph which has stood for over 6yrs put we managed to back I up 4 times in a row, completely smashing it out of the ball park.

1st pass - 8.91 sec @ 152Mph with a 1.33 sec 60ft

2nd pass - 8.65 sec @ 150Mph with a 1.23 sec 60ft

3rd pass - 8.59 sec @ 152Mph with a 1.27 sec 60ft

4th pass - 8.52 sec @ 162mph with a 1.30 sec 60ft

With that said and done we are now gonna chase down the next record which is (correct me if i'm wrong) the CV Performance R32 GTR which currently hold the record at 8.47 sec. For the fastest radial GTR in the world with and gearbox setup. That puts us at 0.05sec behind, can we do it, hell yeah we can gonna be an exciting year stay tuned for updates.

Here is the pic of the golden ticket

And a couple of Vids:

I should have my 32 there however it will no doubt still be on Run-in tune.. not cause the engine needs it, so I can get used to it!

I dropped the car off off earlier this week for some nice additions and let's just say things haven't gone to plan 🙄

So now I'm going to forge it and in a final act of defiance I am thinking about a powerglide but looking around there seems to be lots of different ones, do any of them serve in the skyline or is there a particular one that should be used? 

I only really use the car at the strip now.

Thanks for your help

I'm running 93 octane USA fuel which I think is equivalent to RON98 and am curious what some of the fastest full-body, full interior, full accessory (PS, AC etc) skylines are running. I'm trying to get a benchmark for my setup. I'm currently on 20 psi boost and think that it will tip 130 mph soon and be in the high 10's on 255 hankook RS3 tires now that my boost control issue seems sorted. Curious what target numbers are out there.

If you have some pumpgas (non-E85, non-racegas, non-WMI) time and mph runs please post them here.

Thank You,

Patrick

Here's my last time at the track with bad boost control (spike, pull timing and boost, then slowly recover).

60'   =  1.772
330  =  4.837
1/8 mile  =  7.363 @ 99.14
1/4 mile  =  11.288 @ 126.26

Is this documented?

Im looking at changing the rear end of my r33 gtst. runs about 400kws at the wheels. im struggling to get any traction even on a well prepped strip and slicks.

Below is a video, if you turn the sound up you can hear im on and off throttle the whole time and spinning/loosing traction the whole time.

At the moment it just has a welded diff and lower springs with soft shocks,

What can i do to sort this??

Last I heard the owner was overseas, with hopes of getting straight back into it on arrival. This was a good year ago. Saw the car recently at a certain workshop (won't name) and was told the same thing.

http://www.exvitermini.com/ has been crashed for quite some time now.

Any one got some goss

As of now the specs on my car are:

Stock spec 2 RB25det

Stock turbo

Tomei poncams

Boostcontroller set to @11 psi

3 inch frontpipe, decat, Apexi 3 inch catback

RSP/Bell’s stage 1 ECU

FMIC

HKS filter

We don’t have a dedicated dragstrip in the Netherlands, so most races are held on an airfield or on the straight of a circuit.

For the bigger events the “track” gets prepped but even then I seem to have problems running the times that I feel I should be able to run.

My best time for now is a 14.4@98 mph with a 60 ft of 2.3 which in my opinion is not up to the potential of the car.

I feel that I should be able to get some better times if I get my 60 ft times down but for that I would need to get some decent tires on the car, currently running my 18 inch wheels with 265/35’s

From reading a bit it seems that the MT ET streets are the way to go, I just don’t know which size to get.

I’ve been looking at the 255/60/15 and 255/50/16, the 16 inch being closer in overall size to what I’m currently running but which one would be better?

And would the stock R33 GTST wheel be adequate to run the 255/50/16 MT Streets?

I'm kinda toying with the idea of chucking one of those girly homo spec 2 pedal things in the car....

Spoken to a couple of guys about having a transbraked C4 or Turbo 350 built.

But has anyone tried any of the off the shelf options, such as TCI or Performance Automatic.

Eg http://www.vpw.com.au/Category/Index/534678

or

http://www.tciauto.com/tc/drag-race-th350-transmission-transbrake-reverse-shift-small-big-block-chevyhtml/

About 1000 bucks cheaper than one built locally. but are they any good?

Does anyone have any recommendations for bellhousings/adaptors?

I beleive Joel Grannas 8 sec supra is running the tilton valve, but i like the tunability of the Magnus setup..

Anyone had experience in gtr with one of these?

Thanks
