Damn!!! Just got back from calder, 12.00 @114mph......

I want that 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, stock turbos running 1.1 bar, stock ecu.....

Damn good effort.

Im running stock turbs @ 1 bar

Retuned Nissan ECU

HKS cat back and pods

best of 12.54 @110mph..... 248rwKw

by exactlly how much would front pipes and dumps help terminal speed?

Damn good effort.

Pawley, got standard dump pipes, but HKS front pipe, I would assume front pipes would make a noticeable difference, may push your terminal speed to about 114mph???

Don't quote me on that though.....

JagR33 - nice i guess we are in the same boat - both want a quater starting with the number 11 - both running pretty much the same power :P

i need to get down to calder soon - maybe we can meet up and exchange tips/ideas on how to get that 11 :P

Yeah sure, I know Dean very well and know the car you bought from him, that's how I know they're very identical....

Gotta love the 'Ben Special Tune'.......

When your ready to race at calder just PM me, we'll meet somewhere.....

Okay lads, I'm just concluding a new DVD being released through the same outlets as High Octane, and HPI in May called 'Car Crazy', and in it is a feature story about drag racing, including a story about tuning a near stock GTR to run in the 11s. In the first part of the story the car consistantly runs in the low 12s with 220 - 230kW at all four wheels as measured on C&Vs dyno. The 60ft times were between 1.7 and 1.8 seconds. At this stage the mods included:

HKS dump pipes and full exhaust

HKS cam gears

Japanese ECU (non-tunable)

HKS pod filters

1-bar of boost

Nismo twin plate clutch

From here the car is being tweaked to achieve a high 11 second pass while retaining the stock turbos, fuel system and engine. I'll be using unleaded ANDRA approved 105 octane fuel, higher boost pressure, a different (albeit cheap) ECU upgrade, suspension tuning, and a mild wieght reduction (spare wheel/jack, stereo system).

Should be running the 11 second configuration during a private filming session at WSID next week.

My friend ran 11.4 at 121mph, on 1.2 bar, advanced timing ,extra injector triggered by a hobb's switch and a cheap water injection setup. I then got him some R34 turbo's and it went 11.3 at 124mph!, power?, never seen a dyno! It's an early R32GTR., Back in the early day's when Munro and Willalll were only running low 11's with big dollar setup's.

Well doen Jack, so damn close to that 11sec pass.

You gotta nail those 60 footers in the 1.7s mate. :)

Thanx Emre, you probably know how it feels, been there before haven't ya?

Yeah my 60 ft times have been around the 1.85s, but that's with 265/35/18 hankooks, might have to get the original 17s with sticky rubber and I'll be in the 11s for sure....

What am I doing wrong...

I have 240 kw at all 4 and get a reaction time of 0.46 and a 60 ft of 1.7 (average) and a terminal speed of 108mph (average) my best to date is 12.365 but average about 12.50...by the way I tried my hand at a bracket meet last night and won $100 and a trophy...

so why are you all faster...i also have steel wheels and 1.3 bar

ricknismo, your 60ft times are superb, but looks like your midrange is suffering....

108mph is definetly not good for a flat 12, considering I'm getting 114mph....

With steel wheels usually u get more lag, so maybe that's your problem???

Don't quote me on that though.....

You got a decent clutch???

Yes Jack, i've been there before, but was able to get the 11 on my 3rd and 5th run. :kick:

It doesn't work out with the averages mate. What is your best 2-3 mph so far...?

If you are not pulling 114mph, you only have a dyno printout of 240kw.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
