NIZR34GTT:

I managed a 14.7 in the wet at heathcote a few months ago, I am going back in a couple of weeks to have a proper go. My mods were: 3.5inch cat back, pod filter and approx 11-12psi.

A slightly modded 34 GTt should be able to get into the 13's I reckon - a high 13 that is :( My 60ft time was like 2.7secs and had heaps of wheelspin :burnout: even in 3rd [wet track didnt help really].

hay guys, wet33 here, to prove my 12.4 @ 111mph me and the car where in the latest dragstar australia mag there is a pic of the car at the start of the burnout. fuel pump faild last weekend so now we going all out with the fuel system, and we also putting a reverse pattern c4 auto in th girl, 4000rpm stall converter, with trans break, we hoping 4 flat 12's

hmmmm... shall i go for slowest overall? :D

before i modified mine it ran a 15.048 96MPH 60ft = 2.360 on a wet track. (almost a year ago rofl)

will be taking it back to calder next week now that ive done a few things to it to see what i can get... should be a bit more respectable :D

rofl i did a search for the same trap speed and people with less were running much faster! lol

wonder if the 40degree day and wet strip made a diff.... shouldnt make that bigger diff should it... mind u their 60ft times are damn near half mine lol

i think i need to learn to change gears properly :(

Thought I would just add that my Terminal Speed, which was 101mph, indicates my 34 should be in the same ET bracket as Franks' 13.8 sec 1/4...(2.1 60ft, 99mph)

That should hopefully make it look a bit better :(

Anyways...going to heathcote on Sunday [oct 5th] and hopefully will be recording a time in the 34 GTT category :D

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
