Wed Night Drags Next Week - Anyone Going?


Recommended Posts

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!

It's been that way for a long time in terms of slow ET's with GTST's , it's just very basic setup issues made worse by people rushing out and buying the cheapest FMIC's and other crap without thought to getting the things they already have working well.

I've breifly owned a R32 gtst that ran low 13's with the stock turbo (better tyres though), they aren't shabby, almost equal to the R33 in potential from a mild setup point of view.

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?

Easy 12's if you can get a little traction of the line.

The 3.9 ratio is a good thing for that motor too.

Hmmm cool.

Going to 3.9 was great for drivability but it just doesn't have the neck snapping acceleration that it did with the 4.3's (obviously). A lot easier to drive though, oh and I thoroughly recommend a 3L + button clutch + 2way :P:)

yeh i was probably being a little negitive about running a 15,i gotta get down there and have a crack,id love to get even a high 13,my 32 is very fresh and only has quality parts bolted to it,it made just on 200 hp stock,and now has big fuel pump with reg,full zorst with front pipe,fmic,gtr clutch,and running 0.8 bar,plus had full rebuild not long ago with mostly ACL components,should do 13 i hope.

hey all who went down n howd u go? i left pretty early but managed i 13.727 @ 102mph, with it being the first time ive run the skyline there it took me a bit to get my 60ft down as i had traction troubles in first and second, i managed to get a 2.1sex 60ft time in the end tho, how did use go?

good effort Sam, I think given you weren't able to let the tyres down a 2.1 60ft is great.

G`DAY LAD`S TYRE PRESSURE IS SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE DONT NOT PLAY WITH ENOUGH,GOOD TOO MEET CHRIS & MISS`ES &THEIR R32GTR,AND HAVE A BITE OF CHAT WITH THE LAD`S,cheer`s chuckie.

i was there in my red r33, i was aiming for mid 14s my fastest runs were 14.57 and 14.58 so happy with them but i was getting fair bit of wheelspin need to work on my take offs.

You did well to lop the half a second off after we had a chat, like I said the good news is the terminal mph you had was good for a 13. You put a shield around that pod you have and you will pick up some power as well.

good excuse to go down next week and give it another shot. :down:

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
