Mate well done with your wicked effort at the 4,6 & Rotary Nationals.

That car absolutely hammers and boy it sounds awesome!

Finally into 9's, all that hard work has paid off.

Now all you have to do is put a passenger seat in it so you can take me for a 1/4 run in it :P

Rob (aka Shade boy ;) ).

p.s. dont you just love the drive home from these events, everyone wants to drag :( .. 180km run with a VL later :bahaha:

Thanks for everyones support.It is great to finally reach my goal -

taking my R33 to the drags & leaving in one piece with nothing

busted!!! Has been an awesome weekend - here are the results.

10.38am 1.64 60ft 9.947 @ 148.85

12.46pm 1.46 60ft 9.669 @ 144.62

2.35pm 1.73 60ft 10.36 @ 148.83

6.22pm 1.58 60ft 9.890 @ 148.95

9.06pm 1.53 60ft 10.14 @ 145.09

9.36pm 1.52 60ft 9.693 @ 148.88

On Friday it made 540 kw at the wheels.I am very happy with the

Holinger & Nittos, and the car felt very strong all day.

I did have 2 heads up runs with Keir's R32 but unfortunately he

got a bit out of shape on the first one & had to back off.On our 2nd run he lost boost & aborted the run.I did the final run at 9.36pm as a solo which was the last pass of the event.

Keir did run a 9.51 @ 150 mph earlier in the day so he is still the reigning street tyre champ - by a small margin.

Overall a very well run event & cruise.Would be great to see more

than 5or6 Skylines out at the drags next time though.

Well done "BRIAN" Munro :( All that hard work & somebody else gets all the credit! (Brian Munro IS actually a drag racer too!)

Hey John you can claim to have been the street tyre record holder for an hour or so :P

But seriously, good job John / Mark & the boys / & Martin. It seems those 2835R's had a 9 in them after all ;)

Getting to see 2 RH9 GT-R's go at it head to head was worth the entry fee.

Congrat's to Keir & all involved too.

Thanks guys.Yeah, those commentators should learn to get their facts straight!It did feel good to be the fastest - even if it was only for an hour - but whats 1/10 of a second between friends??

1.69 was my best with Toyo tyres on gtrken - still thinking bout WA trip.

Need to thank Mark Tilbrook,Martin Donnon,Darren Palumbo,Nate

Stevens,Joe Vozzo,John Dickenson,plus everyone else who helped in preparation & on the day.

Also a big thanks to Colin from Advanced Auto Finesse at Gepps Cross for polishing/detailing & storing the car the night before the drags - & Darren at Impressive paint & panel at Greenwith for the constant spoiler resprays & painting the TE37 wheels.

Driftspec - thanks for the shade - I was melting in there.

2 GTRs in Adelaide in the nines - be good when there is a third.

I said it on the day, and I'll say it again.... Good on you John, and all your support team.

Well worth the 20 bucks if it was only to see a best of 3 RH9 skyline competition.

I video-ed all 3 runs, and on the third, it looks like you were stuck on the line for a good 0.5sec or so after the green light. When does the actual clock start??

I sure hope you're not looking at me when you talk about a 3rd 9 second GTR in Adelaide......... might be a loooooooong time comming if thats the case!

Congrats on achieving a fantastic goal - nice to hear you didnt have to retire, gotta be happy with that, just keep pumping out those 9s, and in a streeter - very bloody impressive

So whats next? Any goals or just enjoying things for a while?

I'm pretty sure the guys over in the west would wet themselves if you decided to put in a guest appearence.

Wish I could have been there (did anyone get some vid?)

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
