The stupid thing is, my 60foot time was 2.4 (which is crap, but getting better its usually around 2.5) and my quickest terminal speed was 104.5mph so thats up as well... I just cant seem to get from 0-400 any quicker today than 14.18 *shrug* I give up. Should just buy a GTR and be done with it.

Ok, my best terminal speed was 104.52mph that run was:

60' 3.003 sec (wheelspin, didnt grab too well)

330' 6.899 sec

660' 9.943 sec

1000' 12.516 sec

ET 14.680 sec @ 104.52mph

funnily enough I ran a 14.698 with a terminal speed of 89.82mph, 60' time of 2.561, so I'm beginning to wonder if terminal speed really means diddly squat. My best 60' time was 2.422 that run:

60' 2.422 sec (bit of wheelspin)

330' 6.234 sec

660' 9.322 sec

1000' 11.945

ET 14.158 @ 102.27mph

All my launches were done at 2000-2500 revs and dropping the clutch, I think I had about 1/2 throttle on but I cant remember, everytime I bogged down or wheelspun. I know my pineapples are lose cos they have been making ratteling noises, the workshop wouldnt over-tighten them so they've come loose again. Next time I am gonna insist they overtighten them. But my problem lies in the fact I cant get the car to hookup right with no wheelspin or not bog down. I've got 225/50 dunlop sp9000's on the rear wth around 20psi in the back, the only thing I didnt do was a burnout, but I dont really think it would have helped. Any idea's guys cos I'm getting pissed off spending $30 and not getting the times the car is capable of.

rob - i got my best results with a 3000rpm launch - but it did bog down a bit..

hmm me confused.. the car sounds like it should do alot better.. do you need to work on your gear changes? hows the 1st-2nd change? you can loose quite a bit of momentum if that change isn't quick...

My gear changes are good, its the launch that is letting me down I feel. I was only there for 30 minutes cos the missus rang me and apparently my mother in law was a bit upset I wasnt going to be there for lunch, so at 12:30 I sped back home. There was **** all people there, so I reckon its the best time to go, in 30 minutes I got 5 runs, thats better than any wednesday night session and it takes 2-3 hrs to get that many runs.

Yeah, have it balanced on the friction point, and just use the handbrake to stop you moving forward. Then when the last orange is about to go, drop the hand brake and the car will ease off the line, no wheelspin or axle tramp.

See'ya:burnout:

Gavs GTR did 12.6 with 277rwhp. Did yor boost stay up?could

try Turbo Viagra. Street meets have the start beams moved back

1.6m to look after the race line so your doing about 2.0s and

13.7-8s on the real 1/4 1.6m at the start is heaps.

1.6m at the start is the same as 1.6m at the end, and would make bugger all difference to the 1/4 time.

At 104mph, or 46m/sec, 1.6m extra track would add an extra 0.035s .... which at 14.18s would give you 14.14s quarter mile.

:uh-huh:

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
