Hey all,

Just made a trip out to the willobank test n tune, and had a few runs down the strip for my first time and it was awesome fun. Jus wondering if neone else has taken the Atmo Liners down the strip and what times u got.

My Best Run:

Reaction: .633

60ft: 2.326

KPH: 139.75

E.T. 15.815

How does this compare with the rest of you? is it ne good? i took the subs and spare tyre out for the night.

Cheers

John

Congrats, good time

Just curious what speed were you pulling at 1/8 mile mark and what mods have you done to your car?

Haven't managed that yet in my car, I have a major problem with loss of traction, in 2nd I'll still get wheel spin, and even when launching at low revs.

My times were done at Meremere in NZ.

My best time to date is 16.0, mines a 4dr and I still had the tools and spare wheel in the boot.

My best speed in is 140.7KPH, and that particular run I did 16.4 (darn traction problems).

cheers for the feedback

i had no spare tyre or jack and took my boot install out but i still had 2 big amps in there. If i can read my slip properly it says 660 ft i was doing 68mph or 110kph. The highest speed i reached was 87.17mph or 140.29kph and i got a 16.461 on the particular run and missed 3rd but got it back in after 2 attempts... oops... poor car.

I have 235x45x17 tyres all round and a LSD (4:3.1).

I'm think the problem is in the suspension, I need new shocks.

Before I changed the diff to the LSD, I was still running my old auto one (non LSD, 3:5.1) with 255x40x17 tyres, it was with this set up that I managed to get my 16 flat I got my 60ft time down to 2.389 which I felt happy about, the way it is now I don't seem to get traction:(

Any suggestions would be appreciated:)

Thanks

Rachael

Um, pretty much yeah.

Quit motorplex has street racing meets on Sundays going again now, costs $30 from memory and gets you as many runs as you can fit in. I think they started again last week. web site is www.motorplex.com.au

Missing a gear normally means you didnt get the car in gear propperly, or went from 2nd to say, 5th gear. And its never a fun thing.

Do you all normally let tyre pressure down some for your 1/4s, if so, do you think it helps?

Generally you will find its only when 'they' specify. Your $30 for 5mins of use isn't going to cover the wages of 20 people that need to be there while you run.

I drop the pressure a to 25psi, some people drop it as low as 20psi.

I find it does make a difference (better traction), my best times were done with 25psi in the rear tyres.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
