Ran it tonight..went well only ran it on low boost (21psi) to "shake it down"

I finally reached my 20th run tonight so still very much a novice.

So here's what happened...

1st pass 1.60 60' short shifted all gears and ran 10.7 @ 130 MPH

2nd pass 1.49 60' gave it a bit more in each gear and ran 10.4 @ 134 MPH

3rd pass got hassled at the start line about only having 1 arm restraint and forgot to switch it back into 4WD (this was my last run as they would not allow another pass without both arm restraints fitted). Launched it off the limiter and lit it up spinning the rears (2WD) past 60' (1.90). But really put the foot down in 3rd and went through the traps for a new MPH PB of 137 MPH. Across the line both belts (power steering and alternator) came off and tore a huge hole in my top radiator hose. Thus ending the fun for the night.

When its fully tuned with full boost and a driver with a bit more experience this things gonna be awesome.

The car now weighs 3030lbs or 1375kg...but, im still over 100kg.

Nice MPH and car weight, you must be stoked.

Chris, even when i had busted the radiator hose and the night was over for the car i a had a smile on my face and was very impressed with the potential of the car.

Yes i was "stoked" :thumbsup:

Stace xx

Congratulations, sounds like its going to be a winner!

RH9 club?

Thats the idea...9's on radials.

no one's done it B4 on low mounts...let alone with synchro box and a Power FC.

We still are yet to connect the Nitrous set-up as well.

Im very happy with the progress so far.

Very nice!!!!

Who said the power fc is a crappy computer ? :thumbsup: are you running AFM's ? or map sensor version?

Hope you crack the 9's without the cheating gas.. Will be very impressive when you do.

Running AFM version of Power FC

Looking to run at a private track hire on Saturday.

in this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=185614 you said

you said you had a SM4 plug and play with MAP sensor..

different cars I guess.

I said "yes we have one"

but...not installed yet

this car goes back a long way that i can remember. Good to see its still going well.

Its an oldie but a goodie.

Car was originally a 1st Anniversary wedding present back in 2001.

1st anniversary present is traditionally paper...Stace got paper...rego paper.

some data on the 10.4 run...the g-tech was not calibrated correctly so the ET's a little off (0.2secs) but the MPH was spot on

med_gallery_23582_772_49076.jpg

as you can see above, the shift point was set to 9000rpm...i didn't see or activate the shift light for the middle of the run and shifted 1-2 at 8400rpm and 2-3 at 8600rpm

EDIT: just replay'd the run and the shift light only came on going across the line (top of 3rd)

the graph below is speed vs time

med_gallery_23582_772_89277.jpg

the car does not accelerate for 0.4secs on the 1-2 change and 0.5 on the 2-3 change, much improvement is to be had there. Very lazy changes and need to rev the car a little harder through the gears.

EDIT: be kind with your comments 2rismo

    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
