WSID - 7th of Feb this year - Testing the auto and driving like an amateur trying to watch too many things :)

GOOD: Launching without wheel spin, how hard the 3-speed shifts, screamer

BAD: Slippery as hell converter, driving like a monkey!

MPH was down because of the converter (now rectified) being WAY too loose. No Nitrous on any of those runs either. That was all about learning to drive the auto, testing the converter to find out just how loose it really was and practicing launch techniques with the footbrake. MPH came straight back up to 117.34 with the converter change (tighter/lower) without gas.

Nice vid, good quality :laugh:

Was that rx7 stock? Is that what they run stock 13.8?

Will be great to see a vid when you have everything sorted :nyaanyaa:

I've got no idea who it was in the other lane or what they run from the factory, sorry. You're not the only one that can't wait to see a sorted pass! :nyaanyaa:

Video is great quality as supplied by Madman from Cackling Pipes - link in my sig.

    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm. 
    • I don't believe you.
    • All jokes aside, OP they're just called R32 oem rims as you said. The Nissan engineers back in the late 80's loosely copied the design from the Koya Driftek which was designed and produced about 18 years later.
