Same mph as when you were using C16?

Tell me you didn't tune the car for 98 octane pump fuel and then just dump in C16 for the drags last week.........................

car was tuned forc16 fuel last week and run 11.6 major traction issues, this week had couple of litres of c16 left in tank and filled up on premium unleaded, still major traction problems, but i think i can do a little beter with some more practice.

So you left the car tuned for C16 and ran it with a C16/Optimax mix?

At first I thought it's a little weird to get the same mph on C16 tune as you would on a much lower power 98 octane tune... But now I'm just flabbergasted that you'd run the car with Optimax on a C16 tune!!!

Yes cause u can run alot of timiming with c16 compared to 98 RON. It would have been pining its tits off on 98

Wreckedhead for someone that owns a 11 sec GTR u dont seem to actually know that much about the car or mechanics in general

With that mph, you are looking at an easy 11 at least...

As my ET's drop my MPH goes up! Usually it's the other way around. I'd say there's more MPH still in it, as the amount of wheel spin in the first 3 gears (especially 3rd) was enough to slow the car noticeably. This was evident by my earlier passes where similiar 60's and "more" w/spin lost MPH.

INASNT, for someone who asks a lot of mechanically related questions, I think the above statement is more than a little rude. Could be he's just had some bad advice or not made himself clear.

I dont think i ask alot of mechanically related question at all, and i do have a mech engineering degree and have been working as one for last 5 years.

Never the less u dont need to know anything about car to have a fast one, just $$..

hey inasnt, i know you think i might not know much about cars, i hope you didnt come to that conclusion just becasue im running premium with a c16 tune,

i might be a little neive but im not stupid when i had the tune done i made sure it wasnt tuned to its peak just incase of situations like these were i could run optimax or premium unleaded if C16 wasnt available, ( which it wasnt). so conclusion being, i ran 11.5 still with traction problems on prem unleaded, not at its maximum potential. :kick:

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
