I'd suggest the quickest GTS-T award might be closer to this mark

8.625 @ 161, 1.39 to 60 ft, half track 5.58 at 130 mph, maintaining the IRS with a powerglide , a shot of gas and a RB26

all cheating when you go to the auto and add gas.... Just jokin.. Good on ya Hiroki Matsumoto :(

BTW, I've run quite a few 9 sec passes at around 145 mph using a crossply rear and radial front, and never had a problem - its legal to do so in NZ, where the tracks are dodgy (being polite, some are downright crap). Ovrer in Australia, I was forced by the rules to run front runners, and have noticed absolutely SFA difference in the ride stability compared to the radial front/crossply rears.

My theory is with the independent rear suspension, stability in the big end is much better than something with a live axle.

Is that the one with the tube chassis, and nothing more than a seat, cage, mighty rear tubs... Oh... and a steering wheel?

:dry:

Have you checked out projectgtst.com ?

It has a carbon fibre dash and nothing inside the cabin - not so difficult to compare.

Benny, I think the stability in the Gazelle comes from the lack of door trims :dry:

Seriously though, I've seen 12 second R33's suffer from xply/radial combos.

Adrian

No, it has door trims, just alloy ones, not OEM. Must be when you take the headlining out when you add the rollcage. All that extra 2 kg of weight in the roof must be what does it, though I thought that the metal in the cage would off set that somewhat....

Might be the tyre pressure difference between fronts and backs then ? I never run really low tyre pressures (less than 15 psi) so maybe thats it.

actually i didnt :huh:

I would have thought it wouldnt have been totally stripped to around 1200kg's... thats intense

Is Brett's stripped? What does he tip the scales too?

I know Ryan Quinn's still has the full dash and all that jazz, being its street driven etc. So probably around the 1400kg mark, if not more

Hi guys,

Many thanks for some of your kind comments.

God knows if we have taken the right decision to go down the RB25 route but if you dont try then you'll never know i guess.

Please dont think all of the shouting about the time means we dont realise how far behind we still are from you guys with the times you have set (RB26 or not) ie/ awesome 9.4 etc etc. I nearly died of shock when I found out someone in japan has done an 8.6 sec pass ! - lol

Have to say it's great to be talking to you guys in Aus as for years now you have been developing GTST drag cars whilst in Europe there has not been an awful lot of activity (best previous UK best time 11.2 secs).

I honestly do think we can get an 8 out of the engine we have at the mo - may take some time though.

We have a lot of testing to do before October when the car next runs & finally we can turn the nos on now & turn the boost on thanks to finding grip with the suspension. The gearbox will make the biggest difference in terms of time saving but what a great box the std has been too date - so bloody strong.

We will also need to look at the drive shafts - snapped both off last time as well - lol

Be great to see another 8 sec GTST anywhere in the world whether it's in Aus , Uk or anywhere - they have been overlooked for far far too long

Mate, I'm really not trying to be cheeky - unusual for me I know :) - but if the above is true, why the crowing about an FIA certifiable record on GTR.CO.UK ?

Good to hear from you John, love to follow your exploits as you work towards an 8 in your beast!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.

      Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
