I'm working on it Ben. Have a read of the thread I posted in the SA section, it's a full 03Apr04 AIR street meet report. In brief - I was 99% sure I was on a 12.2-12.3 pass until a rather nasty crash from the car I was running against! Have a read of the full report here - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ad.php?p=759773

I reckon we should change the tyres we accept for this list to be more in line with the ANDRA Sport Compact class rules (which are actually the rules most of us compete under) instead of the way HPI does it.

DOT rated tyres not just radial tyres welcome ya reckon? Thoughts anyone?

:rofl:

I'm happy to have a 'slicks' section but I'd rather not throw slick users in with Radial tyre users simply because slicks give quite an advantage. Could even make it an 'open' section (ie; any type of fuel).

The problem is not my own rules n regs but the participation (or lack of) from the people on the list. As you can see by 'my list' here i'd really like to get more information but some people find it difficult to even provide their tyre sizes let alone their 1000ft mph etc.

What I may do is start creating a 2nd list (with heaps more details - which can be found on any official time slip) for the 'serious' people and then slowly filter out this 'daily driver' list.

Not a bad idea but when was the last time you saw DOT rated Slicks? I am obviously referring to tyres such as the MT ET Streets which are made of the same nylon compund as the ET Drag slicks but have a tread pattern on them and meet other requirements making them DOT approved.

I kidded myself for ages that Radials were the go and came within an inch of buying some BF Drag Radials. But when we're competing against other cars on DOT rated tyres that aren't radials, why should we kid ourselves that we're somehow on a higher plain of being because we have to do it harder?!?!? We're disadvantaging ourselves in terms of comparing our cars to others in our class.

In relation to the participation comment, this forum is also about education. We need to show people how different tyres, tyre sizes, mods etc affect 1/4 mile times and encourage all the people posting on the drag list to include as many details as possible.

Sorry if this is my epiphany alone to realise but I think it is much more realistic.

:confused: DOT approved tyres are currently accepted on this list (ie; Nitto's, BF Drag Radials, Semi-slicks etc) or am I misunderstanding something ?

no Ben only radial tyres are currently accepted in the list

Semi-slicks, Nitto's, BFG Drag Radials are accepted, the only tyres that aren't accepted (currently) are full-slicks (as stated on the initial first post).

Otherwise your time wouldn't have been added :D

Noticed that the "1/4 mile time honour roll' hasn't been updated in awhile so took it upon myself to create this list.

* This list is for Skyline models only.

* Please PM me your details to keep the thread clean:

- Car Model;  r34 gtr vspec

- 60ft time: 1.733

- TS

- 1/4 Time: 11.964

- Tyre size (eg; 225/50/16)  245-40-18

- Tyre Pressure (eg; 36psi)   25psi

- Tyre Brand/model (eg; Nitto NT555R) dunlop sp9000

- Fuel Type used (eg; BP Ultimate, Optimax, etc) bp with toluene

* 1/4 Times are for 'you' and 'your' car only.

* NO slick tyres.

* Must be using PULP.

* Timeslips are not required but preferred.

The 1/4 Times are located at: http://skylines.pnc.com.au (click on the link located in the middle at the top). This URL can be bookmarked but dont bookmark the actual "times" list as that will change on every update.

PS. Read the instructions above, then re-read them again.

The only problem with that is not many people have access to a digital camera / scanner and those that do usually can't be bothered scanning the slips and emailing them to me.

That means the list would go from about 70 -> 10.

Once again it's not an issue at my end, more so lack of interest from the others.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
