Well done BenM but just having a look through it I can see there are some people talking shit there which I dont know why they would.. but yeah some of those are not true.

I know one guy there who has not run what he claims

They are only kidding themselves, not me.

Thanks for the heads-up tho :P

I think maybe for now on Ben time slips must be scanned and shown, what do you reckon?

Harun you forgot to post your 60ft time

Time slips aren't much better, as they have no names on them, so you can't tell who's who anyway. One of my runs was against DBRONX WRX and it ran a 10.3. I could just say that was my time.

If someone is enough of a loser to lie about their time, poeple will find out and people will know how pathetic they are.

Jeff.

If I make time slips a requirement then i'd have a total of about 10 people on the list.

Personally... i'd rather be 1sec slower than everyone else then you fib my times and then have 1000 people find out :(

I think Franky has a timeslip against DBRONX too. Awesome if i didnt have it on video though!! :-p

I have a timeslip showing 3.6 @ 6.8mph! Damn plastic bags blowing through the lights!!! Grrr...

I think timeslips are a must for a thread like this but it is really up to benm. :D

I will dig my timeslips up.

I can actually say that I beat DBRONX, cause on my side it says winner. I won't mention the fact that he stalled it up on the line for almost 5 seconds and flew past me a split second after i crossed the line with a 13.7 to his 10.3 :wassup:

Jeff.

One of my customers managed 12.3 in an R33 GTS at Perths motor plex last wed night with only 306rwhp but on race rubber.Very basic bolt on mods only running a Cooler ,Exhaust, Plugin Wolf ECU and a 25/40 Turbo.

Steve thats got to be expected really as by race rubber you mean slicks? If so there's no real comparision to any of the times in this thread as all times are on radial tyres, I'm pretty sure with slicks 90% of the cars on the list would drop there times up to a second plus because all of a sudden the launch isn't as hard and wheel spin is all but gone due to the crinkle sidewall and grip slicks provide

Yep if your happy not running in street trim I guess it is but as I said there is no comparision with that time and the times the cars have ran on this thread because as stated on page 1 NO slick tyres

We can start a new thread if you like for times ran on slicks?

  • 2 weeks later...

The webpage has now been updated (http://skylines.pnc.com.au). I'm still surprised by the lack of R32 and R33 GTR's.

I added in afew more averages to show the difference between the different model Skylines. Obviously the amount of R33 GTS-T makes the biggest impact of this.

Also if everyone currently on the list PM's 1 friend from this forum and lets them know about this thread then we could easily get another 30+ 1/4 times which will make it much more interesting and accurate :(

Ben do you think we could maybe start a section for other imports aswell as there is a lot of other cars then Skylines on the forum

Also now people like Steve-SST are quoting times ran on race rubber hehehe (slicks) we could have a mixed car section for times ran on slicks they wouldn't have to be added to the over all times but merely have there own section for braggging or bagging rights :)

Yup I have many ideas for this 1/4 list but the biggest problem is getting SAU to participate in it.

Some things I would like to add are:

* Tyre sizes (ie; 225/50/16)

* Tyre Brand and model

* Tyre pressure

* 1/4 Mile Track location

* Petrol used

These (to begin with) would give everyone on the list (or reading the list) some great information as it could show that the quick cars are all using similar sized tyres or brand tyre (eg; nitto) etc etc.

If the people already on the list would like to PM me your answers to the 5 above questions then I can start to add this information to the list.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
