R35 Gtr At The Drag Strip In Perth "first Run Was A 11.6"


Recommended Posts

If you go down to the drags tonight in Perth for whoop ass Wednesday you will see a Black R35 GTR having a go and for the people who cant be their it is being filmed and I assume a movie with times will be on Youtube later tonight.

I will post the time when I find out as the person driving knows what he is doing so it should be good.

11.6 with the speed cut kicking in before the end of the quarter mile.

I think you just made a lot of new r35 owners (well, on order anyway) very happy

Vids? Time slips?

Same think happened with his EVO 8 MR and one of the EVO forums who know everything, someone stated he posted a quick time off the show room which turned out to be quicker times then what the UK were doing and all of a sudden we in Perth were all lairs,

thats cool - how come then NIssan list "11.7s" as their time rather than lower..surely if Steve Jones hit that time, there must be professional nissan testers able to run quicker/similar times.

Just keep in mind running times at a strip compared to using a system like a Correvit style system that most car companies and magazines use will always net a different (read: faster) time. See, at a strip, timing doesn't start until the timing beam is broken. With a hard launching car like a GTR or Porsche turbo etc you'd probably already be doing 10 - 15 klm/h by the time you break the beam, hence the "quicker" dragway times. Correvit and GPS based systems start timing as soon as the vehicle moves.

Regardless though, that's a fantastic time for a stocky :yes:

Aha!

You read my mind!

Track vs GPS!

Different advantages/disadvantages...

In some cases traction can even be more limiting at a particularly sticky or slippery track, thus affecting launch, and ultimately slip times! The launch control systems are designed to balance wheel-spin with grip. Tracks can throw these systems a 'curve ball'!

    • @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. 
    • 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.
