Wow, i want to go out and give this a shot soon, but i think there will be only one outing in him and then i'll be banned :)

i'm not that interested in 1/4 mile times and i dont want to go to a full cage and have to get a licence.

550hpaw close ratio 6 speed and semi's all round should see high 10's or 11's

thanks guys. Some very useful information there. I havent had the car that long so i was just testing different rpm launches and gear changes etc. Going back to calder in 2 weeks after i get a few little goodies put on ;) Then ill see how it goes with some 6K+ hand brake launches.

i ran a 12.47@111mph, catback, hi flow cat & front pipes, apexi pods, mines ecu & os giken twin plate clutch.

What sorta boost are you running ?

hey bud saw you racing on friday, car looks very clean :)

Your running about the same time as i am in my gtst.. I rekon with harder launches and quiker gear changes ull be right :(

Thanks mate. Got it washed at Pit stop in resa. They do a pretty good wash hehe

with my R33 and 600-620 AWHP i ran 1.48 on semi slicks. but from my point of view i say get a good clutch and drop the clutch at 7200, for a consistent launch, remember that youll hit the limiter very soon, so hold your hand on the poke and be ready to shift to second gear. be ready for the torque streerin that wil happen if you do so, and be carfull with your gearbox

how should it be able to manage a 12.9 easily when they are 13 flat from factory? and i have very minimal mods. Also consider it is 16 odd years old so it wouldnt be running the factory times now days. :) but ye u are right i should keep trying because practice makes perfect right :ninja:

because you are not on 1990's tyres :laugh:

I thought a well kept stock car can manage 12.5 to high 12 stock

reline the car and dump the clutch...wheel spin is your friend

i must just be a bad driver. I should be running flat 10's with a stock gtr that is fitted with new technological advanced 2007 model LING LONG branded tyres lol :D (Not that i get any traction loss even with those tyres anyway :P go 4wd)

Ofcourse there is always room for improvement from practicing but i think i got a decent time without fully raping the drivetrain hehe

I will try one or two redline dumps though, just for fun.

Sorry but the two statements in bold just seem very contradictory hehe i know what you mean though. I use my car as a daily so i dont wana be tooo brutal and break things and be without a car.

It doesn't take much to get from 13--> 12.5. However knock another second off that is really hard :P

It's a skyline anyway... so go and rape it lol

First gear won't break with redline launch and your power. The 3rd gear synchro is fragile so take your time between 2nd-3rd. I think that's what faid is referring to.

  • 3 weeks later...

Went back to calder 2night. Didnt get heaps of runs but ended up with a best of 12.5 @ 108.9 mph.

This time i had turbo back exhaust and pods with boost restrictor out. Was happy with that. Still need to get the 60' down abit.

Heres my problem: Im hitting the rev limiter in 3rd gear just before i cross the line and its loosing me a fair bit of mph i believe. To try and solve this problem i short shifted in 3rd to 4th at about 7000 rpm and couldnt get the mph over 106-107 so that didnt help. If i redline 3rd and shift to 4th then im shifting pretty much as im going over the finish line so im loosing mph there also. What can i do to fix this without say changing the gearing in the diff or gbox?

Its annoying because i could be closer to a low 12 pass if i didnt have this problem! :laugh: lol

make sure you get urself an ecu mate, dont want the common spun bearing to occur in the 26.

Just out of interest how can you specifically point the finger at the computer to spinning bearings? alot of the gtr's imported are high in fuel and timing is taken out to continue life.

On topic I've just ran 11.9 at 120mph with 2.09 60ft time at 16psi rich as f**k untuned 2530s, the launch is very important I was just driving her out the block.

because its got pretty much nothing to do with it.

anyhow, you can get into the 11's with the stock turbos if you willing to push the car.

Its been done before (well over 4 years ago now) and can be done again if you wanted to

I dont own a gtr and as such I dont have a horse in this race but i have done a bit of 1/4 mile stuff over the years.

If you want to launch hard there are ways to do it and still minimise strain on the drive train. Forget the handbrake. You need to look for second too quick to be friggin around with that. Learn to heel and toe your brake and loud pedal. have the drive train loaded and just hold it against the brake. That way you are not coming off freeplay in the drive train.

When the time comes to launch just move your feet goofy style. left foot goes left off the clutch and right foot goes off the brake and full on the throttle. This way leaves you with one less thing to think about (handbrake) and you are more ready for that quick pop in to second. Works for rwd as well as awd.

Good info FineLine. I have tried a few diff ways off launching and best results in the gtr came from just reving 6000+ rpm and dropping the clutch. I know something will break sooner or later but it gives best results. I'm aiming for an 11 with stock turbos. I know others have done it so i know its possible. Mid 11 perhaps is reachable maybe.

Thanks rb26s13 ill try that. I might extend the redline just abit aswell.

Next things to go on the car: Power fc and boost control kit, cam gears( maybe some cams if the wallet permits) and some good dyno time and i should see an 11 i hope next time out at the track.

Also there was a white r33 gtr at calder last night. Was running pretty quick times in the 11's. Plates were GTR-97. Anyone know him? is he on the forums? Im new on here tho so i dont know many on here yet.

with gtr gearboxes and power, iv heard they dont mix... when drag racing.. A customer of CREATD motorsports has a 10second gtr, has broken a few gtr boxes, OS GIKEN gearsets (3 or so) and is now using a fitzner dog box with a tripple plate clutch..

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
