That run was an 11.1, not bad for 320awkw huh!

If I crossed the finish line in 4th and not in 3rd on the limiter, I would have cracked a high ten...oh well, I still talk about it 3 years later

130mph is fairly fast for the top of 3rd gear with 4.11 ratios (unless you have some funky long 3rd gear ratio in the box or revving motor fairly hard)

I have the same diff ratio, revving to 8100rpm and was in 4th for a fair while and ran 132.5mph

Also with a 1.5 60ft and 130mph you should be looking at least a 10.5 or quicker (something doesn't add up at all)

Mmm true that, 130mph is ~200km/h which is ~7000rpm in 4th with 4.11 and a GTR Box. Can't tell the exact instruments are probably out a little, but its around that range either way

I know cause i tested it out for N1GTR out of interest for the 1000M thing later in the year.

0.4 isnt too bad, i think the new cars are down under the 0.3s, but the old cars were closer to 1, i think i remember watching on top gear they claimed the veyron required 250hp to get to 150mph and an extra 750hp to get the extra 100mph, id say you would be surprised how much power is required to overcome wind resistance at 130mph

All the speedos I've looked at are out by up to 10% at those speeds, wouldn't be suprised if the tacho was also out, always over reading.

that thing is a light switch... must be fun though

a ute with 400rwkw... umm better buy shares in a tyre company!... might want to invest in Bonds as well... free lifetime supply of underwear

It's heaps of fun, had powercruise on saturday, the car went perfect, had the best day out at the track.

Going to run it on Wed night at willowbank and go for a mid 10, then get the boot from the officials!

It has nothing to do with the fact it is turbo or v8, the reason they have different speeds is turbo cars (skylines etc) have much better drag coefficients than V8s from the 70s, they are also usually quite a bit lighter. It has absolutely nothing to do with the engine, power is power, it won't go faster just because it is a turbo :P

yeah i know, but i have been a member of the ford community for a long time and this is common knowledge. and its not any v8, only ford 8 vs ford 6. i dont know about other makes. the turb is lighter than the 8 im pretty sure aswell.

Here is the dyno graph from Aaron's R32 GTST.

Noel's has still gotta go back to the guy who did his exhaust to fix the dump and we also think his gate is a bit ordinary so it is making it a tiny bit lazier than this one. The specs on this one are:

R32 GTST

RB25/30

Standard hydraulic cylinder head with Pon Cams

No VCT connected

GT3788R 0.89A/R

HKS 800cc injectors

Microguess LT10

Blitz ID3 EBC

Just Jap 100mm intercooler

Full 4 inch exhaust with screamer

You can see it makes 10psi by about 95kms. If we had VCT on it would be making 1bar before then. Noel has much better specced camshafts for this turbo also so when we held the gate shut, it was actually making 6psi at around 2800 and 1bar at around 3500-3600

I should have Noel's new one once we get his small issues sorted out

Standard box, nismo diff which may have been a different ratio (not sure), the drag radials are much higher profile though which would also contribute to the ET

Why didn't you have the VCT on? It is also ready a lovely graph but it would look even better again with it on!

VCT isn't hooked up on this engine. Has the solenoid but no exterior oil feed. Budget build I did for someone about 3 years ago

And yes, agreed, VCT would be awesome.

So are you guys saying that weight has no effect on your trap speed? cos' an FG would have to be at least 300kg's heavier than a GTR

EDIT make that 200-250kg's

Yeah that's true but the car in question supposedly has over 1200hp at the wheels

with 1200hp atw and just semi slicks, there is no way the mph can reflect the hp in this case. obviously there is a traction problem. you never know how much power u are missing out on until u go 4 a drive in an awd car. trust me i know !!!! thats why gtr's are so fast. even if that ford is makin only 800whp, 135mph is still low. twoogle ran 139mph and 9.95 with 500kw. all bout traction.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
