Hi guys,

got the car wheel aligned today here in brisbane from bridgestone select, done an awsome job. We settled for Rear left +1.14degree Rear right +1.29 and both toeing in 2.7mm which under full squat the car will pull the rear wheels back to 0 degree and 0 toe, so should hook up good.

Front left -1.83degree and front right -1.46degree, front toeing in 0.8mm and got the caster sorted aswell, because the left front was hanging back the right front was pushed foward, so thats all good now too.

I am a little worried about the amount of toe on the rear as it does seem like alot.

After looking at that video, it doesn't look like your getting enough rear droop to zero out your ass end after the initial launch... Spring rates, compression and weight transfer looks pretty good though.

I'd hate to see the car start getting sketchy in the top end for the sake of marginally more traction (that you may not need).

Must be a blast to drive!

Justin.

The Japs were going faster in the late 90's with H-patterns?

They probably were...it's been a while :)

Definitely fastest/quickest H-pattern street GTR either way.

Looks like there is plenty left in, too.

Hi Guys, Just driving home back to Mackay, I will put the link on the 8.97sec pass up. Also Theo Willot Still holds the World record for fastest H pattern GTR I missed out by .02 of a second, and on Sunday I was gona to smash that time with an ET of 8.8. But third gear smashed into a million bits. I was 3MPH faster by half track than my 8.97 and thats also lifting of cause 3rd blew up. We are under the impression that the selector fork has bent therofore only half engaging 3rd and stripping the teeth off the cog.

Im laying down the challange that this car will run a Mid 8.5sec pass or lower with this H pattern box, as I am only running 150MPH to get 8.97secs and theo done 8.95 at 162MPH, I am only currently running 900-950HP with alot of go juice up my sleeve. Haha.

I will upload the other video my GF filmed later tonight when we get home,

cheers Matt

There is no evidence of a Japanese or American or euro or pommy GTR even running the 8s with a H pattern box, me and theo are the only ones to do it, Yes there are plenty of GTR in the 8s and 7s but they all run Sequential boxes or Airshifted liberties or Lenco gearboxes, which are an easy 0.3 of a sec quicker. Thats why Theos time is a World record that himself or me could ever find recorded.

Yes, how could I forget Theo's time....I don't think it was registered though :D

Either way, fantastic result and hope to see it get close to [RH9GTR]'s 8.47 auto time

btw, what does the car weigh in race trim?

Check out these videos... There are several running 8's with H-patterns

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
