Don't be a fool ,he is showing you his fear...

[STAGE1]

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

.

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.

Is your S1 standard?

[STAGE1]

Hi

All I have done to it is a 3" exhaust off the turbo

FMIC

Running 12lb of boost

NNNOOOOOOOO!

How could this happen??

Did you have any victims?

Has the car been smokey since??

[STAGE1]

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

Did you have any victims?

also keen to know-did the stag eat any other cars?

his best time was only 0.602 faster-you must be happy with that!

[GoldZilla]

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.

[STAGE1]

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
