ive got 236kw at all 4s but my boost controller is f**ked, i had heaps of wheelspin and alot of 3rd gear missing in 2 of the runs

my 1st run 2nite was [email protected]/h, missed 3rd gear and wheelspin on takeoff

my 2nd run was [email protected]/h, wheelspin on takeoff

my 3rd run was [email protected]/h, missed 3rd gear and wheelspin aswell

if i fix the problems (etc.brand new tyres, get a new boost controller),

what will this car get if its a nice clean run u wrecken

the car has turbo back exhaust(hks dumpies, front pipe and cat) straight pipes all the way from turbo, it has greddy adjutable cam gears and a apexi power fc running about 14psi, everything else is stock,

yer f**ken 3rd gear is my wurst gear, on my 2nd run it was all good but i shifted a lil bit slower thann i normally shift but yer my tyres are like 5% on the rears so the onli choice i had wa to do a burnout before i ran, my uda 2 runs wer hopeless 13.1 and 12.9 lol, oh well evry1 said that this car can get the flat 12 with some sik tyres and like a perfect run

still man thats street rubber. pretty good in my books. i woulda been there runnin too if it wasnt for my stupid arm. i cant wait to run it.

yer u wer der wer ya, you would of seen when i f*kd up all my runs, my 1st run i missed 3rd with wheelspin, 2nd run i put it in 3rd gear abit slow but copped too much wheelspin and dat was my best run for da nite and my 3rd run i f*kd up so it wasnt that easy with the rubber bro

Personally I think you pretty much nailed it on your second run, with the reletively slow MPH your running and relatively good 1.8 60ft, I dont think you'll go much quicker than a 12.5 :w00t:

lol i copped alot of wheelspin, do u get wat im tryin 2 say here, i got a 12.5 with wheelspin, i got no tread on my tires whatsoever, i was getting 1.80 60'footers all nite, my tyre pressure on the rear was abit too low i would think, it was on 13.5psi and the fronts on 15psi so i think that made me loose my mileage i really think

guys one more thing, how do u know when u blow a clutch, today i put my car on rwd for a f*karound becoz i got the switch put in and den i done a stand still and it started over revving and now the acr doesnt move whatso ever but the car does go in gears properly, ive got an exedy heavy duty brass button clutch in it and a lightened flywheel, would yous please help me and think what it is, i let the car have like a 3hour rest and den i went back and it was da same shit and i dont really know whats going on, the clutch is just over 1000kms old and i never drive da car whatso ever, please help guys

What we are trying to say is, a 1.8 60' is not a slow start and is better than most. The best you will get for 60' is 1.7 or possibly 1.6, so maybe you have a 0.2 or 0.3 better than you got at the end of the strip

okay so what i was looking for was a flat 12 or ven a 12.1 or 12.2 i was happy, so if i put some good tread on it and give it a nice run it will get better wont it, true or not, is that good for what ive done for my mods

Unless the stars and planets align, or your car is shot from a Canon I do not think realistically you are going to go any quicker, Wheelspin or no wheelspin :rofl:

I have quickly gone thru the Timeslip registry for you and pulled out some times similar to yours.

R33 GTR - 11.8 @ 118mph (481awhp @ 20psi)

R32 GTR 11.9 @ 117mph 1.7 60ft - (390rwHP) Mine

R33 GTR 11.914 @ 114.56 MPH 1.809 60'

R32 GTR 12.3 @ 110.911 MPH 1.9sec 60ft

R32 GTR 12.348 @ 113.56mph, 60 ft 1.793sec

R32 GTR 12.547@ 106 MPH 60ft 1.8 Your time

R32 GTR 12.6 @ 109mph 1.9 60'

R32 GTR 12.68 @ 112.64mph 2.124 60ft (315rwHP) Mine

R32GTR 12.691 @ 105.6 MPH 1.969 60ft

R32 GTR 12.767 @ 105.883 MPH 1.810 60' (300rwhp)

R32 GTR 12.78 @ 110 2.079 60ft

R32GTR 13.2 @ 108 mph 2.0 sec 60ft (310ps @ all 4's)

Notice how your MPH is quite low for the ET you have ran, Notice how your 60 ft time is as good as any, now notice how your going to need another 10mph to get around the Flat 12 mark.....

Getting more MPH basically means you are going to need more HP, pumping your tyres up is not going to do stuff all.

'Copping a lot of wheelspin' in a Reletively low HP GTR like yours on a prepped drag strip IMHO should'nt and dosnt really need to Happen, I'm guessing your are either limiter launching and side stepping the clutch, or your ATTESSA system needs attention.

I achieve 1.7's and 1.8's easy enough by feeding the clutch out quickly, not dumping it, I could run Bob Jane allrounder 175/75/14's tyres on it and I dont think i'd get wheel spin...! (Then Again I am big on mechanical sympathy!)

Doing burnouts and Limiter launches can kill a clutch pretty quickly, Sounds like you may have been to hard on yours, if your cars revs are not matching your roadspeed, revs rise under load etc then your clutch is slipping as it is a direct drive :rofl:

I love that more than half of the posts contain excuses. You're a natural born drag racer if ever I saw one.

FWIW, if you nail a 1.700 60-foot time you're looking at a 12.2 with that MPH and that's it. A more than respectable time in my book and if you do it you're doing way better than most.

thanks for that guys and i got the older blitz dsbc and its not the nest boost controller, it spikes out but i bought just another unit, its the newer blitz dsbc spec r, apparentely they are very good so im just waiting to get my clutch problem fixed and den go get it done and go put a brand new set of tyres on and go back to the drag strip, but i really think i can get a 12.1 or 12.2 just what 2rismo said but i thank ps1 gts11 for the help aswell, goodluck on your cars so if i get a 12.2 pass or sumfn is that good for like street gear because every1 else said that will be fantastic but yous seem like yous no more,cheers guys

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
