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?

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
