only got 1 run in as i blew an intercooler hose mid 2nd run and i didnt bring any tools to the track :(

from memory it was 13.515 @ 112mph or similar - i am sure i posted my time previously.

i felt like it had a shit load more in it, launch was poor 60" was 2.2 / 2.3 reaction time of .600 i have only been to the drags once prior ever, usually hit barbs :)

Ah pity, I had some tools there you could have borrowed! Was that you that parked in front of me and my mates near the scrutineering shed? I was in the white 34, mates had the maroon 32 and the white Type-R?

Again though, 112mph with 366rwhp... It's a shame you only got one run in. How'd you go at Racewars?

Reaction time isn't going to affect your time. Interesting enough your time seems VERY similar to my first ever outing on my GT3076R with a soft tune in it - 14-15psi, 270kw @ hubs (equate to around 245ishrwkw on a DD?) did a similar time and trap speed on street tyres. What boost, and type of dyno was that on?

Here's a link for the dyno plot and time slip from back then: http://www.dragtimes.com/Nissan-Skyline-Timeslip-13888.html

Its as if you are online waiting for something!! :whistling:

. How'd you go at Racewars?

lol racewars got half a day of racing in for the roll on 400m's then something gave way, goes to Galvsport monday to work out what happened.

Right, not getting too excited just yet as it may be nothing, but I MAY have found a problem that could have been holding me back.

I decided to raise the suspension back up to a driveable height today, and had to take the front bar off to get my jack under. While it wasoff, I noticed the 90 degree silicon joiner on my cold side cooler piping was being crushed against the body where it went through the hole to almost half its diameter :/ Not sure how it happened as no matter what I did it just didn't want to sit elsewhere, so in the end I cut some length off the joiner so that it would sit higher up, as well as using a die grinder to open up the hole a bit more.

It is now fine and back to its full dimensions, so should flow a lot better. Also quite lucky that the joiner isn't damaged at all, I imagine it wouldn't have liked being crushed like that. Anyway, I will take the car for a drive tomorrow and see if it makes any difference to performance.

Any differences after the silicon hose is replaced?

Releasing a cheap bolton turbo that is capable of doing 280rwkws internally gated. The ATR43 3.5. I've done a fair bit of sculpturing in to the imported china turbine housing. This turbo is capable of making 350rwkws on E85, external gate.

I will mark this price on $1100 including the oil line and high pressure actuator.

Result of this turbocharger is page 366

Note since the turbine end is largely over sized. Make sure the factory dump pipe gasket and dump pipe flange is all touched up as its not in the way of flow.

I will sculpt another turbine housing for it that supports both external or internal waste gating like the SS2 .82.

As explained before the savings comes from the turbine housing (cost by KGs), that requires less parts or machinery work.

Compare to the ATR43xx series, because they were built in matched housings, they do picks up more mid range, and better response. So they are still the better bolton / Ext gate turbos.

But like I said it is a cheaper alternative, and will perform better then standard high flows. And I guess the biggest advantage is that a donor turbocharger is not required, which saves lot of time and shipping fees.

I will see if there are room to dropping pricing on our current standard high flowing service. and will pass that to our customers.

Did a little bit on car this weekend, nearly finished, just had Matt from Nistune do computer and picked it up tonight, might

turn the key next weekend, just have to fab up external wastegate pipe., have all the pieces just have to cut and weld them

during the week

cheers

Had Tao's car out at heathcote today and on slippery as hell tyres (255 RSR's) we managed consistent 124-126mph runs @ 19-20psi. (330-350rwkw)

60ft times were 2.4 to 2.6 seconds and ET was 13.02 - 13.3.

Time for some decent tyres and we will revisit heathcote. Axle tramp pretty much all the way to 4th and 3/4 track.

haha we submitted the post on the same time.

Just came back from Drags today. I can still taste rubber in my mouth.

This is the very first time my car's on the drag strip. It was some how of a test run. Trent was my driver for the day as he would know whats going on incase if any issues. It was a factory weighted R33, We did not do any weight deduction work to the car.

We've got 6 runs though out the day. Because observation of the car's performance is mostly on dyno, so we did run in to couple of issues. And the Federal RSR tyres are horribly bad for drag strips, no grip WOT in first, 2nd and 3rd.

The problem runs:

First run was 17.9sec with cooler piping popped.

I guess thats a NA R33's drag time. @ 75m/h

2nd run was 14.94 Hitting boost cuts. 78.1 m/H .

I install and trail 2~5 different combinations of turbos every week, but did not record the EBC settings for individual turbos.

3rd run was 13.92 @ 116.7 m/H.

This car came with a quick shifter, how ever it doesn't go into gears in high RPMs, this problem carried on to all runs done today.

4th Run was 13.66 @ 122.28 m/H.

Car had fuel surging issue

5th Run was 13.55 @ 118.17 m/H.

Car continuing to have fuel surging issues. It wants to stalling or bogs down after gear shift. After more fuel added (3/4 of tank full) this problem was finally solved.

The last two runs were mechanically trouble free apart from unable getting into gear and no tyre grip till 4th gear.

6th Run was 13.26 @ 125.63 m/H , 60ft 2.3 sec, @ 23psi of boost. (Add: After check data log it was 20psi instead of 23)

Because of the car had no traction, we finished the day with a lower boost setting and surprisingly it run faster with less m/h.

7th Run was 13.06 @ 121.42 m/H, 60ft 2.5 sec, @ 20psi of boost. (edit: After check data log it was 18psi instead of 20)

The turbocharger run today was a externally gated ATR43G3 in .82 turbine.

We should be hitting the strip again on 12th May. I will replace the gear shifter and Will be getting some proper MT tyres. Hopefully be hitting into the Mid 12sec with around 130m/h speed.

Decent mph to HP converter the guys linked me too today at the drags. They were using it on their 8 and 9 sec cars

http://www.wallaceracing.com/et-hp-mph.php

average r33 weighs 3060lbs

actual wet weights for GTR

R32 Skyline GT-R Specifications
GT-R GT-R Vspec
Weight 3262 lbs 3306 lbs


R33 Skyline GT-R Specifications
GT-R GT-R Vspec
Weight 3373 lbs 3395 lbs

R34 Skyline GT-R Specifications
GT-R GT-R Vspec
Weight 3388 lb 3432 lb

yeah should add all shifts were done 1 neutral 2nd then neutral then 3rd as shifter would not allow single action changes. so prob another few mph as each better change seemed to net a few more mph and better time. An honest 128mph run should be achievable on this little turbo.

tao i checked to log too at the end and all runs were closer to 20psi not 23 too. Last run was @ 18psi.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
