What a night at WSID. My spark plugs gave up the ghost pretty much at the beginning of the night, meaning the car was missing quite a bit down the strip. Combine that with some novice launches early on and its fair to say I had some challenges to overcome. But a 10.8 pass at 127 mph with the car still missing badly was a great return for the night.

reaction time .295

60 foot 1.712

Next steps are new spark plugs, injectors and the full Cobb tune. Then we'll be in business!

Paul,

Congrats on the great time considering there is heaps more to come out of the car.

Spark plug issue was a minor distraction with a few light misfires at maximum torque only.

This was mainly due to the fact that the car had been previously circuit raced for a full day,

which wears the plugs out prematurely, especially at the power level the cars at.

A fresh set of plugs are on their way as are other goodies for your car.

10.8 @ 127mph has got to be some sort of record for an R35 GTR in Oz?

Does anybody know if any other R35's have run a 10 & if so who?

Congrats on the time, are you now banned from the track, are you going back?

Last week i ran 11.1@125mph (at WSID) mods were mid pipe and AP tune (everything else stock, inculding wheels and tyres - bridgestones).

I might go out next week with some better/lighter wheels and tyres to see if i can get a "10"..

Thanks Duncan, I was politely asked to leave the premises after that run. I will certainly be back. I suspect there is a low ten in this car with bigger injectors, fresh spark plugs, and full tune.

There was no wheel spin to speak of, just a short chirp when I nailed the launch.

Let me know when you are going out - I might tag along.

Cheers

Paul

Paul, are you putting a cage in it?

Well done, mate.

Why did they ask you to leave?

Well done, mate.

If you crack a sub 11 second pass you have to go and put cages and stuff in your car. That regulation must assume that a ten second car is capable of leaving its lane...reality is this thing could probably crack a nine second pass and hardly spin the wheels.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
