My first run was 14.5 - that was with just cat-back and pod filter.

now i have full turbo back exhaust with hi flow cat and 10psi (.7bar)

I am still not sure if i will hit 13s or not....... probably depend on the conditions ie how slippery the track is and how cool the air is.

I can. A 13.9 is not a big ask, it's well within the power to weight ratio. However the curse of the skyline is a lack of transfer in the rear chassis cradle, causing excess wheelspin. It's not helped by lowering the front alot either.

Alot of guys have good terminal speeds without much in the 60'. I think $105 spent on the rear chassis will see a few guys & gals run much better times.

Its a whiteline kit , West shock in subiaco can get them in- cost $104.

I have yet to plug mine in, slack - raining - yet to borrow a trolley jack take your pick.

You can use the kit (just some nolothane bushes) to make the car squat (for traction) or put on another way cause more wheelspin for drift.

Doesn't do a thing to the cars looks Adam32. And has little bearing on street driven handling.

Dave,

whats it called? a squating kit for a r33 skyline? :) I'll order one on monday.

Think the part number is; KCA349. It takes a week or two to send over from the east. Install is very simple but as i said before I am Mr Slack-bastard.

Yeh i might make a run but it depends on circumstance closer to the date. See how its running and that. I will have one new tyre and 3 1/2 worns ones on dont know how this will affect it but dont wanna commit and then bail at last minute. Can i just turn up on the day or do you need numbers now?

I know that insurance is void but im sure ill be ok. Last time i went on public track day i saw a jz70 hit a grease spot and slam into the wall OUCH:eek:

Ive head that the grip compound on the track is a bit strange and u have to launch higher and stuff. Oh well let pop the cherry on this bitch eh:D *goes off to find a helmet*

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
