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

http://www.dragtimes.com/Nissan-Skyline-Timeslip-8760.html

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!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
