i should make a 67 easy with the current setup, i still got to put new plugs in, the new ported intake plenum and intake pipe and0 adjust the timing.

Might leave the new brake pads and lines for the next round rather than rush them on

isn't that only 1 sec?

haha yeah yeah - im just bored....

see the way i thought of it is when you (well me anyway) say something like "hopefully beating my old time of 1:08" (or or what ever the time may be) means your going to try and beat it but your not confident and will probably still be in the 1:08's just hopefully just a bit better. On the other hand saying something like "easily get 1:07" indicates it will most likely be a low 1:07...

anyways - times aren't that imporant afetrall - its all about the racing!!! /me loves it! :huh:

haha - ive never raced in the wet... sounds a little scary to be honest...

i love driving the hilux in the wet but the skyline is scary on the wet road... cant image the wet track

we race on the sprint track at SAS so they are sprint times

ok...so not many...ive seen atleast two in the 57's and heard of 1 in the 56's.

ZENNON if you rip that 20 out and stick a rb30det in there...that will change. Plus some semi slick tyres if you arent already running any.

You would be suprised how much difference a set of semi slicks will make. I have managed a 62 on the sprint layout in the sedan and I only have 175rwkw. Pretty sure I can get that down a bit further too as the tyres were pretty much dead as they were the old ones I used to run on the GTR. I did a flat 60 in the dry and a 68 in the wet in the GTR, it had about 210awkw. Plenty of opposite lock in the wet :)

nah cant afford the engine conversion!!! one word: house-payments!! (ok two words) :)

as for tyres: yeah got some cheap wet-semi's atm.. ill get proper semi's when these are dead

Well i'll be there, i'm confident that i'll make the 67's, i got adjustable camber tops and castor arms in the front, bigger sway bar and pillowball tops in the rear and its a bit lower and hard now.

hopefully the new intake pipe will get me a bit more air in too.

Im not too bothered with semi slicks on mine, im only making about 100 - 110 rwKw out of my RB30e.

See you guys on saturday

Yeah over the holidays I also got the camber turned up a little, or is it down, haha, well more negative!

Semi's aren't for traction when your on the gas - it's for the corners!! My friend jezza in his n/a starlet which has no power has semi's! (little thing corners like a deamon haha - he ran a 66.55 which I thought was pretty impressive

See you guys on saturday

sure will! come say hello cos i dont know what your car looks like

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
