Hi

Well I have come back with my tail between my legs and I am sorry but I gave it my best shot. He had me off the line every time and no matter what I did I could not catch him up again. From the 60ft through to the finish line we were very even. It just goes to show that power to weight plays a big part in it all

post-25786-1231585295_thumb.jpg.post-25786-1231586850_thumb.jpg

My best time was 15.456 @ 125.64 KPH reaction 1.026 60ft 10.203

His best time was 14.854 @ 124.31 KPH reaction 0.885 60ft 9.817

Now I know the photo is not grate but should I be worried about the amount of smoke coming from the exhaust. This was the last run for the night.

Hi

I knew it would be close but I didn't think he would actually beat me. When he does get it on the dino we can actually compeer the power to weight off both cars.

As far as the smoke goes it is still there but only when you give it a boot full. From inside the car it appears to be grayish black (An over rich mixture at high rpm) but on the video it appears to be a bluish color

I have taken the plugs out and replaced them even though the old ones seem to be in good condition

I also did a compretion test while the plugs were out (wet & dry test and they are all within 20lb from the worst 140lb to the best 160lb).

I will keep an eye on oil and fuel consumption over the next few weeks.

"My best time was 15.456 @ 125.64 KPH reaction 1.026 60ft 10.203"

i will use your time as a benchmark STAGE1 as i will be taking my S2 RS4-S to willowbank either 22nd or 24th Jan to see what it runs.

my mods are only 3" catback, pod filter, 10psi.

Also just noticed you run the enkei rims. i have the exact same set from my MZ20 soarer (selling if someone wants it 3k) which are 17x8 and 17x9. I am obviously too lazy here, do you know if the stud pattern is the same ?

Cheers

What launch technique did you use? Did you hold your left foot on the brake, accelerate a bit to build boost, then let the brake go and nail the accelerator as the light went green?

yeah what he ^ said. :(

try snow mode, torque split button, manual shifting?

so wish SA had a strip. this sux that we've got shit all.

so just a cat back and max boost (as mine came when I got her from qld almost 4yrs ago) gets 15.4

Im pretty sure thats the same time CoolPC did.... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ni...50#entry4366250

Im sure mine would do low 13 now (duno?) but just wont know until there's a track here in adelaide.

Q. Did you have any victims?

A. Sorry but I did not have any wins we only managed 3runs for the day. Race 1&3 the 200sx beat me if only by a smidgen and race 2 I was beaten by a woman in a skyline who I found out later had a rebuilt RB26 with a big single turbo. She ran a 12.3

Q. What launch technique did you use?

A. race 1 was right foot on the brake in drive then slips it across to the go pedal when the light turned green

Race 2 was left foot brake in drive revs up to 1,800 then it was off with left foot and down with the right

Race 3 was left foot brake in first power button on revs up to 2,000 then it was off with left foot and down with the right

Hit the rev limiter in 2nd this cost me a 10th

Note- we never got into top gear and the car seamed to do better if it was left in drive something I have noticed even on the circuit

I went out expecting to do around 15.2 or at best a high 14 so I was pretty happy with my effort

Jez

let us know what day you are going out and I will come and watch

Phil

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
