So, went and had a bit of fun last night. First time down the quarter, shit is hard :glare: Got 5 runs in and got better each time, first run was a 16.55 missing 2nd and 3rd :P PB was 14.1 @108.5mph on my last run. I think I could have got into the 13's if I could have had a few more runs, and possibly matched Luke's 109. I need a lot more practise though, and shift lights now make sense to me. Was hitting limiter in almost every gear :/

Was that with 360whp? Those trap speeds are way lower than I would have expected!

Yeh round about. I do think I could have picked up a bit of speed, my first run was 104mph and improved with each run. I'll get onto a weighbridge sometime and see how close my dyno reading is to my trap times.

I'm thinking going big in turbine and going smaller in comp. Need a large turbine to make power using stock manifold and internal gate, Then reduce comp dia to compensate for response.

R33/R34's with stock turbos and high 200rwhp trap at around those speeds. I would have expected more around the 115mph with that power

Pretty annoyed they failed to give us any of that info at the SAU Nats. Been chasing them for ages.

Whole reason I did it was to get some trap speeds and some times. All I currently have confirmed is my 800m time which doesn't do much for me

Well I'm no drag racer by any means, last night was my first attempt. I had hoped to be closer to 112, but I've got no idea what I was doing right/wrong so I was just trying different things and was getting faster with each run. Aside from me being a terrible driver, what else does it come down to? The car being off wouldn't surprise me, it's the laziest RB in existence. But I've been on the dyno at Allstar, Hyperdrive, Autoworx and Garage 101 and they all give me a big number, so are they all off?

What is boost recovery like in gear shifts? Does your car have a screamer pipe? Hard to tell from the clip

Yeh gate is currently venting to atmo.

Boost recovery seems ok, though last night was the first time I've driven the car since it was tuned in September (aside from Powercruise which was the day after it was tuned).

Thought it sounded like that, seemed to take quite a while to come on in first and a it didn't sound like it came to life in a huge rush in second either... Obviously hard to tell watching the clip but it got my attention. If you spend a reasonable amount of time building boost when raving then you don't get the full power curve the dyno suggests that you have at your disposal.... Which can definitely affect real world performance, ie lower trap speeds than expected for a power level.

Well it tended to be like that in 1st with the pro-tree, I wasn't getting off the line very well and bogged down a fair bit in 1st. 2nd is hard to tell cos the V8 next to me starts to make a bit of noise. From memory it was straight onto full boost in every other gear though... I'll have to take it for a drive and pay attention to the boost recovery.

What would that indicate though? At the moment I'm aware I have either a restriction or possibly a cam timing issue.

Well my car on 250rwkw pulls 121mph trap sipped while it's a 180sx it's shouldnt be much different maybe 2 or 3 mph your cars definately not making 360rwhp not now anyway

Even if you bog down at the start it won't affect your end mph trap speed much if anything might be alil higher the faster you take off or better 60ft you get the lower your trap speed will be

Me bogging down at the start with 2.3 60ft still got a 12.5@121mph with 250rwkw so either Unigroup has a low reading dyno or your car is low on power

Yeh I know the start wouldn't affect the trap time much, I was just discussing the boost response. My problem further up the track was shifting at the right time. I can't remember how I did on that run, but I may have hit limiter in 3rd which I did pretty frequently. Though I guess that still wouldn't account for ~10mph slower.

Love my car :D

Just shift earlier...higher gear means higher mph ...shift where power drops off on the dyno..or if power isn't dropping off to after 7k raise your limiter and shift at 7k..in my car power dies around 6500 so that's when I aim to shift...

Good on you for getting it out there. :thumbsup:

??? some one already done a 73MM? The blade profile will be totally different either way, but thats ok, I can make the exducer into what ever dia to archive the same goal. Sierra wheels are bit old school, they were retired from our turbos since 09.

Using Brae high mount now. Ebay manifold is off the car.

LOL, I have a 73HTA TD06L2 :whistling:

My limiter is set to 8000 and I was trying to shift by 7500... But I don't have the coordination to watch my tacho at that speed! Haha.

I was actually catching most of my opponents by the end of the race, and they were running 13's/high 12's.

Altering comp wheel size little over or under makes no differences, it doesn't mean it has to be a 73mm, I haven't never seen their turbos before, so blade profile will be totally different. Any results from that on a Rb25det?

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
