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:

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:

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
