i dont think u have emphasised enough that the car is stock...so how stock is it?

lol okay its only a little stock then...

well if you saw in the first post, thats when i first mentioned, and wait for it.... that it was STOCK but the "stockness" has been asked again and again so just to make everything clear i just repeated myself.

S.T.O.C.K wooooh woooh

i personally think you're over emphasizing the stockness of it to play up the fact that he's running a freak 1/4 mile time.

regardless, even if it is a freak car - there's a logical explanation for it... things just don't happen. i'm sure alot of us would like to know why, and see if we can make anything of it.

when i get some spare time i will try to replicate it.

also if possible can your brother get a timeslip? i'd like to see what kinda speeds he's doing.

i'll be seeing him later tonight so ill ask him for a slip, but his trap speed from memory wasnt impressive.

Of course theres a logical explanation for things like this, and most of the time its because the good old "run em in hard they go hard".

Its known that an engine that has had a decent run in, and not just putted around has better bedding in with rings etc which creates more compression = more power.

Whats the average 60 foot time for a manual n/a skiz?

im not over emphasizing anything, from the start i told you what the car was then questions like "are you sure its not a gtst" pop up as if its something i may of overlooked so i have to repeat myself

like i said before i only started this thread to see what times you guys are pulling so i could compare with my bros, not to agrue if his motor is fully built with 12-1 CR.

intake and exhaust have been modified/changed. isn't stock is it? helps increase performance.

define exhaust? catback? from the headers back? muffler?

neither are the tyres, which means he has rims. are they light weight rims? again not stock. helps with performance

under quoting the power figure with a fast time also makes people skeptical (myself included). so you can't blame people for their questions.

who knows the head could have been ported and polished in japan?

have the rear seats, interior trim, sound deadening, etc. been removed? you haven't specified.

as you say, it's stock stock stock, but from what i gather it might have a few things which you don't really consider as modifications. which is why i'm emphasizing on the point that your brother's car is running a faster than normal time non-standard.

14.6 is an impressive time, and you've given both the dyno runs and a video to prove it. no one is saying he didn't run that time. however people are questioning what you would consider stock.

the car is well around ~1 second faster than the average time. driving the car hard, may lead to better bedding in of the rings which improves compression, but this isn't reflected in the dyno run. for arguements sake, the dyno is reading low (even at 150RWHP) but i wouldn't say ~1 seconds worth... again i'll emphasize the point that no one is pointing fingers, just a level understanding on what us both (and others) would consider being modifications, and what others wouldn't.

as to the gtst call, it's a fair one - as stock gtsts would be around the low 14 to mid 14 mark.

well not really, cause i'm posting in a n/a section, i started the post saying it was n/a and that it was a gts, so one would assume that its not a gtst (not having a dig at you lol)

I totally understand why its hard to beleive, it does my head in aswell, thats also part of the reason why i posted, cause i know that a normal gts shouldnt run the times that this does.

As i have said the motor has never been touched by us, including the bottom end and head as far as i know, but the car was bought with 60,000km on the clock so my bro or myself obviously cant account for what happened before this. This car came from the car yard as if it would out of the factory, standard exhaust etc, so one would assume that the motor is stock and left untouched from japan otherwise you would expect the simple mods such as full exhaust, intake etc to have been on the car when it was purchased 8 odd years ago. It doesnt make sense for someone in japan to have spent money on the motor and leave everything else dead stock, even suspension etc was stock.

Intake consists of piping running straight from the afm to the front of the car, no pod no nothing so its literally like a vacuum cleaner picking shit up off the road. I've told him that hes crazy, but the car has done near on 100000km with no pod and still goes strong lol

The exhaust consists of factory manifold and piping to the cat, where it is 2 1/2 inch mild steel piping, using nothing more than press bent techniques, and it has a cheap 3inch cannon muffler, the whole exhaust cost him less than 250 bucks, and its the best n/a sounding skyline i have heard haha

As for the wheels, they are again cheap CAST thai copies, and they are far from light weight forged items. They are only 7inch wide rims, that is why the 245 shouldnt be on there. The tyres are agian just cheap 245s (cant remember the brand) but they arent anything special.

Full interior is in the car when racing, thats front and rear seats, sound deadening is still there as is the factory steering wheel. The only thing changed is a short shifter and a new knob :huh:

Suspension is standard rooted shockies, with king springs superlows allround, with the rear having a coil taking off each king spring.

Computer is standard nissan item, with no piggy backs like safc etc connected.

Drivetrain is the standard 5 speed rb25de box, same as the r32 rb20det box, which is pretty much missing all syncos. Clutch has been replaced due to age, but only with a stock item. Stock tailshaft, lsd and drive shafts.

The reason i was saying STOCK STOCK STOCK before is that the car is literally that. The only other way i can descibe it to you is that the car sits exactly as it would the day it came off the showroom floor expect for what i have mentioned.

If there was a secret to it, believe me i would tell everyone, theres nothing like gtst drivers at the drags asking questions like "so what boost you running??" only to answer its n/a then generally the next statement is "Bullshit, pop the hood, its gotta have a turbo"

like "so what boost you running??" only to answer its n/a then generally the next statement is "Bullshit, pop the hood, its gotta have a turbo"

lol...

well i'm stumped... whatever it is that's done, i'd like a go at it.

almost sounds identical to what how my car was when i ran my time, i had a pod with straight threw pipe, 2 1/5 cat back, 17's at fropnt with 225 and 25 16";s at back, with no seats in the car part from driver, and i had upgraded clutch, i wont call it stock and mine was a type m or something which is ment to have a tqueked ecu, and i drove it hard all the time,

The only possibilities i can think to that run would be, a freak freak car, there was some internal work done in japan and then exteria mods were replaced for compliance, or the timing on the run its self was wrong - trigger may have stuck done a tiny sensor fault, i've also heard that sometimes the reaction times can affect the run time, somthing like if you have a really high reaction time it trys to account for it or something cant really remember but it was thrown around somewhere at some stage.

Just though i'd put up some possible suggestions to why it may have run a freak time, i'd really love to know why it did it so i could replicate it when i put my motor back in, and im sure most other people would love to know too, a few slips from the day would help to clear up some possibilities, ie if it only ran 1 14 sec run or if it did it consistantly on more than one day/track.

Definately not a trigger problem cause its cracked a 14.6 on two seperate nights. It has run mostly high 14 second passes, a few low 15s because of a shitty launch or missed gear etc

I knew you guys would mention compliance lol, but i dont think this is the case. You can tell when you see a modded skiz that has been put back to stock to pass complience, but this car looked like new. All the exhaust and suspension etc looked like it had never been touched before, and you can always tell when your undoing something for the first time.

I'll try to get a slip with all the details but i think they all went in the bin :nyaanyaa:

I already asked, but wats considered a good 60 foot time in one of these?

Im not to sure weather the car had to be returned to stock if it was complied 8 years ago just thought, not to sure of the laws etc back then.

i ran a 14.84 in my magna at willowbank with just a cat back exhaust. trying to launch a fwd sux. my best 60ft time was a 2.187. i got the slip kicking round here somewhere. i'd like to be the quickest NA magna in qld, but i have to get down to 14.4 to claim the title.

What a weapon i love it, Thats a v6 model i take it?

yeah it's a 99 model with the 3.5L. the earlier ones had a 3.0L, but even some of them are nudging into the 14 second bracket. the autos are only getting to the low 15's.

i ran my 14.84 in full street spec, except for a different set of tyres (i still had spare in the boot, and the trolley jack on the floor in the back). the tyres were 15" 205/50 retreads. i'd love to be able to get a 2.0 60 foot, but i don't think i will without better tyres. it's hard to get of the line and you have to take it easy when you grab second as well cause it will light up if you punch it straight away. if it was rwd i reakon i could easily get a 14.5 or faster. i am going to spend a bit of time on the dyno fiddling with stuff to try to get more power. i will drop the exhaust off after the middle muffler and see if i gain any power, make up a cold air intake, put a k&n panel filter in, etc, then take it down for another run.

yeah those manual v6 magnas are bloody weapons. Drop the kids off to school reeeeaal quick

14.8, good effort with re-treads, stick nice 225 or 235 on the front and you should get that 60 foot time down to 2.0 and theres your mid 14

there is a guy with a fully worked NA magna that makes around 300hp and runs low 13's, then there was a twin turbo one making 350kw that ran low 12's.

i'd like to get a set of semi slicks to try.

oh, and i was passing at around 93mph

this can not be right.....stock 33 n/a just can not do it.....even if the stig is driving....there must be something done to it....

just cant see it doint it.....with 123rwhp......i had 170kw and pulled off a 13.8 back in the day....

any time slip info???

Ditto!

Im not saying it hasnt done it... From what u have told us it may well have had head work and u dont know it, possibly a reflashed 32 ecu that u dont know about but even then it is very unlikely that it would do those times, as i said freak cars that happen to get perfectly clearanced and balanced engine still wouldnt make this kind of a difference, and that is all so called "freak" cars are, this world is bound by rules and laws nothing is unexplainable. I dont care if your brother is schumacher, i am a fully sponsered proffesional drag racer, albeit i dont race every weekend even the HPI testers that do couldn't pull times close to what your claiming. As i said previously i would love to see a time sleep but again, variances in RA and temp still dont make that big of a difference...

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
