What did you run Anna and Brad?

ummmz well Dave drove (as its not tuned and he would listen to the engine better than me!)

12.7 @116.7mph - street tyres, pump fuel, 15psi and old tune which is only half completed.... traction issues all night though...lol

Brad did a 12.02 at 118 mph i think it was.....

MPH is good. I'm only running 110ish for 12.4's. I know it would go 12.3 at least with the gearbox repaired. So 11's for you maybe?

In all seriousness, it was dissapointing that the GTR didn't make it out.

There was alot of umming and arring @ CRD simply due to the weather.

As an act of pennance, when it does run, I will have a lolly pop for all SAU members.

Yer 12.02 was quite weird i sould have more power :down: now but slower times and the 12.02 was with a 60ft(1.728) .1 second faster then i had done before. Mite have to go see CRD myself for a good tune :)

yeah- it'd be a shame to get some water in the wheel arches of the new trailer queen as they drive it onto the back of a truck in the event of rain :down:

oh how wrong you were...... 7 runs with an hour to go.... lol

but yeah no new GTR..... doh!

Considering at 3:30pm it was raining 10km west of the venue and 99.9% of the rain moves in from the west, and had been raining for more than a week before hand almost non-stop CRD were never going to take the car out.

7 runs with an hour to spare shows just how many other drag racing fans shared the same view as me.

Yeah I live a few kms the other direction and it looked like rain all day but other than first thing in the morning it held off....

Yeah suspected the GTR wouldnt come as I was over that way earlier in the day and it was raining on and off....

There was still quite a few cars out though.... bout 60 or possibly more..... just no breakdowns/leaks on the strip..

oh ffs I'm going to ban someone if this shit carries on.

if these guys don't want to stuff around for hours loading and preparing a car onto a trailer for a night that could well be cancelled anyway, that's their choice. Anyone thats not happy go buy your own bloody r35.

Keep it on topic, stop the digs and enjoy the chance to see one of Aus's most unique cars.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
