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

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
