Heathcote 12/6/11

With 260awkw and a shitty clutch I finally managed a 12.2 @ ~110mph & 1.9 60footer - Man it was hard to launch out of the gates without bogging/frying clutch, but I finally managed a sub 13 Ash and got in DEEP!

Your car looked awesomely quick BTW - I don't think Heathcote was the place to get the full potential out of your car, at least we got shitloads of runs in!

12.2 in the end? FARK! Nice mate

Where did you find that whole second? :D

I ended up with 11.57 @ 121mph

1.78-1.90 60ft

I think the timing is farked @ Heathcote as my MPH was way down.

Will go to Calder in 2 weeks and find out the true story and hopefully get some better traction.

Hehe the MPH's were all over the shop. For me it showed 140mph on my 12.2 run BIG LOL, but judging by my previous runs I was averaging ~110mph.

I finally got the hang of how to launch the GTR - It really took me by surprise as I wasn't expecting anything quicker than 12.5. I backed up the 12.2 with two 12.4's straight after with 2.0 60ft. I think I shook her up when we had a heart to heart, I kept me end of the deal and she was driven gently on the ride home :laugh:

Would be good to test her out again @ Calder to compare, but I'm not sure if the clutch is up to the task - Still stinks now! Driver definitely need more work though :(

Thanks Anth, nice meeting you too mate! Yeah I reckon she's got a couple of more tenths in her to crack an 11 - Gotta get the 60ft down a tenth and I should be right :) Clutch is good for now, until next time haha

Yeah Scotty spur of the moment thing - Quick times in the end, shitty 13.6's to begin the day. This is my better clutch hahah, not sure if It's ideal for the way a GT-R is made to be driven!

well your fastest time was really good. maybe save and get a nismo twin plate clutch :thumbsup:.

already got the new exhaust at home for the evo but couldnt get the bolts off the cat :( also bought the same electronic boost controller as you that arrived just the other day.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
