I went down for the first time ever too!!! My best time was 14.166 @ 101.12mph... Crappy 60' of 2.416secs and reaction time of 1.129secs... My main problem is suspension is setup for circuit racing, sssoooo much traction problems... :(

The drags finished tonight... Now they are on Sundays from the 11th of May...

EDIT: Whoops, my bad, my best time was 14.147 @ 100.67mph reaction time of 0.905, 60' of 2.427secs...

you got enough for a 13.8 there mph wise. Just get the 60ft into a 2.1 and your there :mad:

Did you run lower tyre inflation (say 20psi)?

Do you have pineapples?

It's lots of fun anyway isn't it.

And the VN ran 15.74. Yep, that was the red one down there. Oh well, not to worry, it tried. Only paid $2000 for it so can't complain to much. Beats all the other VN's round here. She is naturally aspirated remember. One kid down there in his VR spent tonnes on it, shift kit, faster diff gears, extractors, etc, etc, and only managed a 15.58. Poor kid, what a waste of money.

no i didn'y go.

The car needs an injector or two cleaned. The ping comes in strong at 4700rpm and although it's making 230rwhp it's afr is high 9s there. The rich fueling and very little timing should eliminate ping but this means one or two pots are leaning out whilst the others are waay overfuelled. I'm pulling the plugs and possibly injectors out today to find out for sure.

my first night last night for runs too, great fun

didnt know u were all going :)

anyway ran a best of 14.56 @ 96.9mph

running street tyre pressure - 36psi in bald 255's :mad:

only engine mod:

catback exhaust, still got the stock airbox.. running stock boost

im keen now to lower that time, need more launch practise...

and mods ;)

I forgot to bring down my portable compressor and a guage so i could let down the tyres, so i just guessed and let them down a little bit, it did help a bit, but i DEFINITELY need to practice my launches!!!

BOOST is that your series II

do you want the grille or not man, you slack biatch

yeah there were a few lines down there, i didnt know anyone, i was clinging to cam and zanda all night, incase the other skyline owners were mean

ah well i will catch people at sundays one, yaay

Yeah strich9 i am gonna get an EBC shortly and a cam gear as well and then get the AFC back in and tuned in that should make a world of difference oh yeah and let the tyres down also.

and diff cradles. thats all i am doing for now,

but judging from the launches i did i know that 14.5 is shocking, oh yeah also should get that larger cat for the exhaust no sense restricting for no reason

Alan.

just for your information, reaction time doesnt count upon your final time.. The counter starts as soon as you pass zee laserzz.

but if you react in under 0.4secs you get a red light, but your time is still recorded.

*ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP*

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
