Hi guys back out at the creek again.

This time with 311kw at the wheels.

I'm still having a little bit of trouble off the line.

the only spot on pass i did i managed the 12.0 at 128mph.

Next time we do out we don't want anything less than 133mph.

before anyone says you won't get that, we will run another 5 psi on top of what we had before.

Also on the 12.0 we ran with 18psi next time we wil drop it to 15 as thats the pressure we ran on the last two.

one my last run i forgot to put the traction control back on, this resulted in lots and lots of wheel spin all the way down the track untill i got into forth.

as for wheel spin, yes with the traction control on it still does spin through third but we limit it with the motec.

Cheers

My guess is it needs some serious suspension work, like all front wheel drive drag cars it will benefit a lot from a decent set up. What spring rates are you running? Shocks? Camber? Toe?

Personally I wouldn't be worried about more power until you can use the power that you currently have.

:P cheers :)

The front end will cost us about 3k to get sorted where as we believe there is a good 100kw more in the power side of things.

New products wich will go onto the car in the future.

1.Hypertune billet plenum

2.Hypertune billet 76mmTB

3.New turbine housing.

4.ARC 100mm front mount

5.ELF race fuel

6.More RPM

7.More boost

I wouldn't recommend that approach. ET is king.

I 100% agree with Kenny, no use in having mph and a would of, could of, should of ET

I know with my old set up I ran 128mph and it was good for what ever ET but the best I ever ran was 11.7 so really it was a high 11 sec car no matter what the mph said as thats the best It ever did

You don't need to go to that extent to improve the ET's.

Have you had it on a wheel aligner and looked at the front end dynamic camber change? What about bump steer? Keep more of the tyre in contact with the track surface, $100 well spent.

Have you checked the corner weights? If not, there is a good gain there for almost zero cost.

If you are not running at least 1,000 lbs per inch springs in the rear that that's a start. Lessen the weight transfer off the front wheels, $300 well spent.

There are so many simple things that you could do, I bet there is at least 1/2 second in it with a mimimal spend and a day's work.

:P cheers :laugh:

Man I have so much that I just don't know about drag racing...

This is the most refreshing statement re: drag racing I have ever read on this forum.

You're my favourite person of the week, Dan. Congrats!

:D

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
