as usual, wanky americans building cars that dont go around corners or bends.

But untill i see an american car that can turn corners im not even gonna bother thinking that they have a decent car that can race.

kol, last i checked Honda is a japanese brand. not made in america.

I live where this race occured. Here is the dyno sheet for the GTR from dynopro.com. The civic that he raced is probably making 450-500whp. Civics like this one are all over the place out here. Horrible powerband for the GTR as you can see. It is HKS T51R with basically no supporting mods. Probably did not even spool while racing.

yes it is believe it or not!

still a nugget!

compared to a turbo that is...

Last time i checked a 13 was not too bad. That is not even hard to achieve with an eg and a bone stock K series. I dont know maybe I am preaching to the 10 second crowd but where i am from 13slooks pretty fast on the street.

That is one terrible graph, must be one crappy tune, and a car with half its Max power with a better average tune would be able to take it easy.

Some civics sure are fast. there is quite a fwd culture in some countries where they are posting some good times. with a decent suspension setup they can corner well too.

with enough money you can get a hyundai excel to accelerate faster than a badly tuned gtr. it's all about power to weight not the badge on the car.

you look at that site and can find all sorts of cars beating machinery you wouldn't expect. ferrari's and lambo's get beaten by some cheap cars with big mods. there's even a turbo'd viper (could be twin turbo) that beats a turbo suzuki hayabusa (spelling?) where the rider of the bike admits to getting beaten. I found that hard to believe though apprently they were both trying.

it you want acceleration by a cheap car. Add a big big engine and add forced induction. Oh and take out the unwanted weight. it's a simple formula.

Like many had said if you got the cash you can do up and bomb and whoop anyones arse whether if its gtrs or not. All you need a sh!t load of cash if money arent a thang then go for it if standing out from the crowd is your thing.

i think the sad reality is that the gtr just got smoked

some civics and the like are incredibly fast. there are a couple here in nz that look standard and run low 11's / high 10's.

sure the gtr is a great car but that doesnt automatically mean that because you own one means that your instantly fast. thats almost adopting the holden v8 drivers mentality

Jesus grow up! lol

I have a skyline and I love it but they are not the quickest car on the road and especially not anymore with all the euro cars/hatches which are putting out the same sort of stock power as us.

Be realistic about it or you risk becoming a bogan who thinks his vl is the quickes thing around hahahah

Thats a really un-fair generalisation, since you dont know what every single Holden V8 driver's mentality is.

Ross80: While that does happen, think about the people who have spent alot of money and time on their VLs who arent bogans.

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
