I ran a 14.52 tonight wooho

I am stoked cos i drove pretty crap take off wise 2,7 60ft time.

i got a turbo back exhaust but with a stock cat. (doh) air pod with a sort of partition and walla.

i am so hooked on the drags now, no more perviing at skanks time to pull these numbers down, i had 5 runs all good

thanks to Cam and Zanda for the support and Cams dad (the clutch master)

zanda congrats to you for the 14.3 you BAS*TARD

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*

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
