hey guys,

i took my skyline upto calder park for the first time on friday night

i ran a 13.9@100mph, my list of mods is turbotech boost controller (set to 10psi), apexi pod filter, apexi safc (not tuned at all everythng set to 0), and a 3" cat back exhaust

im suffering from a slightly slipping clutch but i was very impressed with the times my slowest being a 14.2, all the rest were flat 14's about 3 passes at 13.9

Nice work. Little bit nerve racking lining up the first time?

I did my first run on a drag strip last night. PB was a 13.845 @ 103.44mph.

Had a few traction problems along the way. Just couldn't get the launch right.

Best reaction time was a 0.045 which I was very happy with ;)

Might let the rear tyres down a bit next time round and see if I can get some more traction.

i find it better to just roll off the line, and push the clutch in and dump the throttle, and smash the clutch... it seems more effective... need a big burnout and under inflated tyres tho, works gud

Nice work mate

i was planning on having a crack the other week but the lil ol Rb20 went pop b4 i got a chance :P

So now im back to square one and not 100% sure if i want to build a forged 20 or a hybrid 25 with my turbo and running gear instead!!!!

Cheers GMB

Mate congrats...yuor first time out and you are doing quicker 60ft times then me and i had semi slicks on :bunny:

...and whats wrong with sayign the clutch was slipping if it was?

Drag racers are a funny bunch...heaven forbid they post the whole story, not liek the ppl running 11s in a std car that only cost them $1500 to build, its just that their driving makes the difference (Not directed at anyone in particular, but drag racers seem to ride each other pretty hard ) :D:):)

exactly what wrong with saying it was slipping if it really was, im not using it as an excuse for running a slow time, i was extremly impressed with my times considering my clutch is stuffed.

what times are other people running with similar mods to mine?

No im impressed man.

And im not easily impressed. Look !!! A blue car!!!!! hahahahah

Nah, sounds on the money to me. Id imagine that is quite quick considering the mods. Ive never had mine down a strip, but i would of guessed youd run a 14 flat with mods so good on ya.

thats really good dude

i ran only 14.2 at calder a couple of months back!

with 3" catback, front mount, pod, running 10psi with gfb bleed vavle

on 18's aswell and an Xtreme button clutch

so thats really good.. allthough i seemed to get a better top speed then you as i pulled a 14.2 @ 101mph ... i dont know why if you got a better time.. i think my launches were really lacking? :bunny:

what sort of launch teqniques were you trying.. i tried everything from dump to slow ride outs

well done i say i ran over here in nz and managed a 14.5 at 100 mph i had a 3" right through but not right off the turbo a standard ecu and was running 10 psi with a standard intercooler will be keen to try again now as i have a big front mount link pc but with an average tune right now around 12 psi and a simese dump pipe right off the turbo now so would hope i would b in the 13s now

Hey guys

I went out the other week and ran a 13.624 @ 102.975 mph with a 60ft of 2.098

I have a pod, a 3 inch turbo back exhaust and a turbosmart bleed valve.

I think im running quite good times considering my mods.

How do you know your clutch is slipping?

When a clutch slips you can tell. Revs go up, speed stays the same....

im starting to get very bad clutch slip, in third gear it slips from the time it gets onto boost till it hits redline.

Spewing. Gotta change THAT now too!

Excellent result mate - very well done!

I agree.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
