Just wondering if we have any of the SAU guys heading down to the plex this Wed?

I am heading down to help introduce a friend of the family to the right place to go racing either with his newly purchased R33 gtst or my bunky R32 GTR.

Be good to say g'day to any of our fellow skyline crew. :thumbsup:

Should be getting cooler as the evening sets in regardless, the forcast was for high 30's.

Will say g'day sidewayssam if I see you, I will either be there with a mate of mine and his R33 (blue colour with a large wing) helping him with his first time at the drags or in my bunky R32 GTR. The GTR is midnight purple with tiny stock R32 gtst rims and no wing.

i think its gunna be around 40, definitely no good for drags. I'm looking at going on the 9th with a few guys if interested (weather permitting)

Temp will drop down to mid/low 20's by the time you need it to. If you have traction issues then the lower power due to ambient temps being higher earlier in the night can help you get a handle on things before power jumps up later in the evening.

As a result some of my better times over the years on crappy street tyred cars have been done when the mercury has been in the mid to high 30's.

If you have some decent tyres (deflate the ones you have for better launch) then you should be into mid 12s pretty easy, I noticed you have the better part of 300rwhp.

yeah i'll might be there trying to hit a mid 14 with my mostly stock skyline i got a FMIC, exhaust and a pod, last time i went i got a 14.9 but with a 0.7 reaction time.

If the pod is unsheilded, it's probably part of the problem. reaction time doesn't effect your 1/4mile time by the way. Reaction time is the time it takes for you to break the beams after the green light. Once the beam is broken (ie: your car is moving forward) the time for you pass starts.

Your 60ft time is a good indication of how well you are launching, a 2.1 sec or better time is what you want to try and get.

Will try and say hello , what does your car look like?

I did consistant low 13's years ago with an R33 gtst, not very hard. You can get into 12's if you run decent tyres.

That was with the stock turbo at 10psi / stock intercooler / stock ecu with a S-afc II /lightweight flywheel and turbo back exhaust. On tiny 205 stock sized tyres.

bro nuthing wrong with the hks,it might not make huge numbers but is responsive and good quality,ive been thinking about kkr myself but turbos that cheap?, there has to be sumthing wrong with them,if i spot your car tonight il come say hello,ps you wana sell 2540 let me know il slap it on my rb20,

my last car was r33 with the same mods,,and the best i got was 14.2,after like 10 runs,never tryd letting tyres down tho,might give that ago with my 32,ive noticed over the last couple of weeks most stockish r33s struggle to even get mid 14s,and most 32s are even slower than that,makes me scared to think my 32 might run a 15,no!

I'll probably head down in a couple of weeks to benchmark the 30+small turbo before my baby comes off the road for the GT35R install :)

I'd be hoping for a low 13! but who knows.. will be interesting to see what the 30 does with the 3.9 ratios..

Makes 245rwhp @ ~4600rpm on 12psi (full boost by 2200rpm).. anyone like to take a guess on what it might do down the 1/4?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
