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:

well done Pauly. Pond and I are proud of you and Twoogle. :worship: Next time I will be able to come and cheer you on.

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.

and here i was thinking rh9 had to include twin low mounts...

thats awesome!

whens the next outing?

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

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
