yeah they didnt arrive in time, i only like the to use these as they offer the best results with the combo.

we also stopped at 18psi as the car will only run 15psi during comp use.

Even so doing the runs @18psi with 3 people in the boot and a few differrent attempts to stop wheel spin we could not get a wheelspin free run..... damn those drifted on square tyres realistically i would expect a bit more say 15rwkw at 18psi and 10rwkw @ 15psi but it will have to wait. I really wanted to tune up to 22psi as these things really come on song up there but having a flashy dyno sheet was not worth the effort of changing tyres.... call me lazy.

PICS SOON

yeah what a dissapointing weekend at round two of DA for DCR, we had issues with the car all weekend.... somewhere in the 10yo factory GTR loom is an evil power robbing wiring gremlin.... car would not rev over 5000rpm consistantly.... bring on the next round.

i was suprised she qualified mid field with such a misbehaving car .....

What exhaust components did you customise (if any)?

I'd assume you would leave the front pipe sitting in such a way that any off-the-shelf S13 catback would fit.

None GTR front pipes and s13 cat back line up perfectly

UPDATE:

Had the car a Calder for its first real shakedown and after lots of suspension fettling the car seems to be quite a weapon. looking forward to having some fun at wakefield on the weekend.

BTW nice looking car looks mint on the track.

I notice the power figures you quote are quite nice but @ calder it seemed to bog down a lot, fuel up and struggle to go anywhere. I know a lot of GT-R guys ditched the trust turbo's due to lag are you guys have some issues or just not finished tuning?

not sure what you mean? she could not find enough grip she was harldy ever giving it much stick ie hardly reved it over 6000 as it spun str8 to redline.... it is actually too responsive (better than the garret 2860-5's used on previous cars). and could not get traction..... maybe it looked that way as we were not drifting the last corner properly as the car holds too much speed to pull up in time for the barriers, the final corner is a no brainer and wastes tyres for no reason......

we also dont go to these practice nights at calder to go flat out comp style, we go there just to set up the car a lot of people mistake testing different aspects of the car to us actaully having problems, we had only a few handling issues (lack of traction) which is now sorted.

The car is going to NSW for a comp this weekend and we could not afford to damage so we only did what we needed not what people probaly wanted to see..... which opens a whole other issue, i dont think people should have to pay to watch a practice session because many expect to go and see drifting only. Often we will only do one section at a time make a few changes and try another section purely to save the car and tyres..... and the crowd doesnt understand this (obvious from your statement) other drivers even put in complaints that we were doing fishies on the str8 and when they themselves did it they got kicked off...... we were warming tyres....big differrence.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
