May be OK on this one.... what has happened to Perth's endless summer..... more like endless winter this year....

I think that it's the melting of Antarctica.... it is actually making the Southern Ocean cooler and we are getting more "Albany like" weather....

It's just Mother Nature trying to level up mankinds stuff-ups.....

Does drag racing count as a Green sport?

How many trees do we have to plant to cover our 1/4 mile runs?

Does anyone really care?

:) That's about as green as I get!

Was the aristo running a V8 4WD, or the 2JZGTE? im guess 2J, or he wouldve had YOU off the line...? 3L twin turbo 6... if toyota made an aristo wagon or similar, itd be aiiight.

M35's have a MUCH bigger rolling diameter than C34's and legnums, right? the can run HUGE wheels.

yes, yes you are :)

15.5ish to 15.1ish from memory.

both of those times seem fairly slow to me. Not talking about anyone's driving either - just slower than I would've imagined these cars would do. I believe people have managed somewhere just over the 15s mark in a stock s1 stagea?

15.1 isn't that quick for the SS either. So its a credit to you that your heavier, 2.5L engined wagon came within .4 seconds of a 6L V8 powered wagon. I'm not sure how to compare engine sized (probably impossible) but we can work out that at stock boost, your car will be sucking as much air as a ~3.8L n/a engine, give or take some, but certainly less than the big 6L v8. and yet you would have the same if not more power to the wheels.

I still say congrats :)

2JZ, it did a 14.1 that run, and i did a 14.6 as i turned the boost down instead of up, lol.

but the next run against a skyline i did a 14.2... so not that much quicker

Mitchy, as for the legnum, you meantioned earlier that you got 14.2 in a "dead stock" legnum and here you mentioned raising the boost? Just out of interest, what is stock boost and what did you set it to in order to get the 14.2. Thats a pretty impressive number :) Do legnums have adjustable boost as standard? or do you have some mods - eg, exhaust, boost controller.

Also you said "not that much quicker" - I'd say .4s is quite an achievement just by adding more boost.

whoops....

the only mod is a manual boost controller. :)

stock exhaust, stock intake, even a crappy compliance spec cat and filter!

stock boost is about 8psi, and i had it set at 12psi, but it tapers off to about 10psi higher up (I need a EBC!)

the 'not much quicker' was referring to the aristo... i expected a 3L TT sedan to go more than 0.1s faster than a 2.5L TT wagon :)

the SS wagon was also a VY, so it was only the 5.7L LS1, i'm not sure what they are supposed to do, but i know the LS2 powered utes are supposed to do ~14 flat (my old man wants to try his against the legnum :)), so a LS1 wagon doing 15 sounds about right.

aristo just beat me, but i flogged it off the line. :)

...beat a skyline though :)

yeah the rims on that M35 were big, but they suited it :)

By going the larger rims has that increased the diameter of the wheel from the standard 18 inch wheels? If it has this may have effected the launch off the line?

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
