what mph are you crossing the line at?

and was it 121hp or kw, cause i don't think you could do it with 123hp, even if you had drag slicks. if it was 121kw then i could believe it since i managed a 14.8 out of a magna with a 60ft time 0.187 slower than you. if i got a 2.0 60ft i'd be somewhere round the 14.5 mark.

i also notice that the dyno run you have posted says in the description that you say the car has a blocked cat, so if it does, what does it run without the blocked cat?

once again to clear things up, the car ran 123rwhp on the blocked cat, the 1/4 mile run was done with a new cat

No slicks were used, i explained what the car has done to it, nothing more nothing less.

If anyone lives in WA and wants to verify that it is what i say it is, then they are more than welcome to inspect the car.

Im not rogercordia, i dont have a need to make up bullshit

rofl...

your brother may have set a new bench mark for NA times. i'll take it down the strip when i get a spare chance.

i make 115kw, which is roughly 150HP - we'll see how it compares.

Have you got any mods? If so, what mods.

My RB25DE with only cat-back exhaust (probably makes no diff anyway) make 115kw aswell. No other mods, I am sure of that :whistling:

didn't dial any timing in. it's still whatever it is from the factory or previous owner.

the safc was to clean up the afr a bit not for any sort of power.

most of my mods are based around suspension parts and setup, not power.

although i might have to put some in to try this drag racing thing you guys call racing.

hahahaha, i'm kinda the opposite, mostly been racing my cars down the strip but with the new gt-four im keen to throw it around a track, even if it does mean i'm just going around in circles....

Vote1 for Shaved head/thinner head gasket.

Increases CR a bit.

Most likely a few degrees extra dialled in on the CAS.

Check what timing it runs at idle, unsure on the GTS, but on the GTS-t it should be 15degrees.

It definately has timing smashed into it, i said that on the first page. From memory the cas is pretty much maxed out so its probably running around 25 degrees of timing at idle lol, which kinda throws the shaved head out the door cause with the extra CR and all that timing its would be pinging its nuts off all day long which isnt the case

Im getting my n/a tuned it already has a catback and coldair/pod. It is getting a piggyback system,cams and a lightened flywheel. When its all done ill scan the drag slip onto the computer :O

good stuff, post up what power you get after the tune aswell :D

anyone else has got a time to post up please do, i wanted to get some general comparision going to set a general bench mark for n/a owners but the thread kinda got sidetracked lol

there is the oppportunity if me might being able to do a 1/4 mle in november but i dont know if i want to cause my poor engine is tired and im ummmm'ing and rrr'ing about whether to do it or not..................

    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
