Dave, Haha, 205's are going to be great, make sure you pump them up to 50psi :P

We should make a new 'pizza cutter' racing category. A points based system where you need to do a 4 wheel burnout the entire length of the track.

I've missed tonight due to my fridge blowing up on me this afternoon. :thumbsup:

well, had a very bad night :( . No traction (doing .240 60ft'er all night) and didn't even manage to get into the 13 sec bracket ;) . could'nt get any faster than 162km at end of track. only good thing was got 13 runs in. met sidewayssam, he done very well considering conditions. will let him tell you his times (that skyline goes well for 260rwhp).

At least you had a good time, I think thats the important thing more than the times. :)

@162km/h terminal I would say you were down on power for the night Vs your old 13.7 run in your signature. How did the car feel? Have you changed anything since last time?

Eric, I've been since my 13.7 with you and I didnt do well either - car feels shithouse now.

Upped the boost (Blitz Spec R) and SAFC Neo. dyno'd at 293rwhp you'd think I could manage a low 13...

Best I could do was a 13.9 and a 2.3 60ft >_<

You aren't making anywhere near 293rwhp at the track bt the looks. what was the terminal speed?

that was the only night i had traction straight of the line. was very humid last night so this may be the reason the power was down a bit. if i was getting better 60fters (2.10 or better)i recon i would have been down around the mid 13ns. even the cars running semis were getting bad 60fters as well(up to .220). alot of guys were complaining about the track prep saying it was very slippery. i think it comes down to shite tyres = shite times. i had a quick check of my slips and i had a best terminal of 164kmph

Around 100-103mph I think, don't have the sheets with me.

The 13.7 was with a 3" catback, fmic and uncovered pod. Found out later the car was running lean from dying fuel pump..

So since then I've done Tomei fuel pump, splitfire coilpacks, 3" dump/front/cat, safc neo, ebc, plus a bit more weight from a stereo although i had the sub out. And 265/35/18s all round at the moment, need to change those front tyres.

103mph is a mid 13 and doesn't equal 293rwhp. It's a fair whack less hp than that at the track. Dyno's are really only a tuning aid anyway so no big deal. The good news is there is enough in the car for a mid 13 without too much dramas. You have 265's , just let some air out and with a little warm up you should get off the line quicker. :/

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
