:D If I was you I'd change to a genuine one aswell the fibreglass ones don't fit as nice :P

Couldn't have said it better myself. Now...where is morgs...a run with the two of us could be great to watch.

Forget morgs, a few of us are racing on the 14th of April why don't you come and show me how superior your GTR is

haha...my OEM plastic one fits my genuine GTR just fine. But, if I were to fit it to a GTST, it wouldn't fit quite as well because it would stick out too far on either side for the skinny rear guards. :P

I may come down on the 14th, not out to prove anything...unless you choose to run on real street tyres, with real street fuel, a cat and a quiet exhaust? Maybe you can run a manual too...or have you forgotten how to change gears??

Seriously though, will be great to see you run again, so may come down either way.

if anyone is after an accurate power figure they are best to go to WSID and go by MPH or put their engine on an engine dyno... a chassis dyno is really only a tuning tool which has way to many variables that can affect the readout.... just losely strapping a car has yealded an extra 30rwkw, changing wheels has made near the same so i wouldnt be to stressed by differing read outs

A great day none the less and was great to catch up with quite a few people. Cant wait for the next event :P

So how do i tell how much my line is putting out? i did a 14.1 at 97mph. before i tell you how much i got on the dyno see if you can get near it.

Not sure...never bothered reading the thing...but it is a street meet and I have a street car...are you driving yours there?:P

You and your old man sure seem to be friggin' experts on drag racing for a pair that have "...never bothered reading the thing". :D

Or has he read it and you take what he says as gospel? :D

Adrian

It was a great day thanks Adam and everyone else :D It was the first time i've had my car on the dyno which i was planning to do and run it at WSID to see what she runs. Now that i've done that and have my base figures i'm gonna start playing with it. Mona watch out cause i'm coming to the 12's with you then the fun begins. Mik i love your car! Awesome display of rb power!!!

Lizjane sorry i beat you but i think it's great to have girls like you, Mona And Elbee111 in the club and into their cars as much as us mear males.

Met some more of you great people and hope some more days like saturday comes up to meet more of you :P

Which book are we talking about not reading?

Thanks for the pics E Lu-Shun !!

Adam, do I contact you to pick up the turbosmart oil cap? :P

The book of 101 excuses for GTR drivers

Here's the top 5

1. My clutch is slipping

2. My gearbox will break

3. My transfer case is slipping

4. My car weighs to much

5. I still have stock airbox

etc etc

:D :D :D

Mik, you need to buy the book - real, REAL bad!

Adrian

Nah...I've never bought a book in my life...no time to start now.

Oh...and I'm no drag racing expert. Sure, I've had a few runs, but it's only for the fun of it and to see what the car can do.

If I was into drag racing, I would not have a turbo manual 4wd full weight street car. I would build a lightened rwd N/A auto with drag slicks. Drag racing is all about consistency, and that's the best way to get it.

maybe Bu5ter should write a book entitled "101 setps to making your GTS look like a GTR" :P

"You'll need to run 11's, low 11's to qualify today"

Sounds pretty experienced to me. What was the bump-spot that day? 12.67 if I recall correctly. :cool:

People that talk it up that much AREN'T only in it for the fun of it. They're there to show-boat and enter their own private dick-swinging contest. Just so you know, the most consistent vehicles in drag racing are manuals.

:P

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
