Finally got to the drags this weekend, unfortunately it didn't go all to plan,

the car had a massive boost leak, first run on 19psi(with the boost controller set to 26psi)

the car went 10.67 at 132.94 with a 1.77 60 ft, we coudn't fix the boost leak so turned up the boost controller

to 25psi manually(so the turbo was probally pumping out around 35psi to make 25 in the motor), then the

transbrake woudn't work. So i stalled it on the brake pedal, rolled out for a 1.68 60 ft and ran 10.21 at

140.9mph, all on pump fuel/ full exhaust and at least 20rwkw less than i usually drive it on the street with.

Car didn't use a full slick either , just a m/t street grooved slick that i have been driving round on.

So CTIFLY record has FINALLY been broken.

There a lot more left in this combo, if the transbrake worked it would have gone 9 something on that pass

and theres another 50rwkw left in the tune on pump fuel and 26psi still, unfortunately the stcck bottom end

finally went bang..the alternator failed and the voltage dropped to 7volts, killing the fuel pumps

and altering the injector pulse width....time for a decent forged motor

cheers

Hopefully you got some better traction there on the Sunday after two days of rubber being laid.

Heaps of traction problems for the serious cars there this weekend.

That thing is a weapon, and it's only a matter of time for the 9.

If we'd known you were going to be there racing, Nightcrawler and myself might have hung around to see you run.

There WAS a 9 run there by a blue skyline that weekend though...

cross ply et street, i haven't much faith in the radials, as my set for the street in 17's are

are joke and they wear quicker, 4 nights with just roll ons, no wheelies and they were bald,

not good value at $640.

The block/rods etc are all fine, sounds like i broke a ringland on one piston, still starts first go and drives,

just not on all cylinders:)"

cheers

just a shame you couldnt catch the cressida!

and his engine is still running strong...

just stirring...

good effort.

lol yep Jays running on a fresh motor.. Already done one in. :closedeyes:

What times did Jay run? Jake was out there also?

Obviously detonation killed the piston. A bastard the alternator let go. :)

All in street trim, daily tyres etc.. Top work Darren.

10.1 at 143mph

Jays "fresh" motor is still just a stock bottom end.

it goes to show that both nissan and toyota 3ltr bottom ends can pull some good numbers

lol yes.. I believe his origional motor let go due to a fuel pump/lean out issue also. :P

But definitely tough as bottom ends.

Jay run on slicks or similiar tyres to Darren? Great effort from the 5speed.

btw...where's thedrag strip? is it in adl? open to public?

i thought adl only has AIR

10sec car :)

jay ran on full slicks, race fuel, no exhaust, bloody good time for a manual!!,

i think they are going back for 9's soon.

jake went 10.3 at 136mph with one pass then blew the trans, that will be easily in the 9's

in a couple of weeks aswell!

I personally have no interest in race fuels,no exhaust etc, i want to know how fast my car runs how i always

drive/drove it, and it makes it interesting,anyone can tune a car on race fuel, it's full proof, wind the compressor till

it noses over, set timing for peak torque, walla, no balancing act.

the car would easily go upper 140mph traps with those mods and well into the 9's setup

I had 1 pass on fullboost, if the motor lasted it would have pissed in a better time..but shit happens:)

next time:)

cheers

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
