I'll be trying to make the next one......just got to do two little things first :)

Handbag and matching heels? (Jokes, jokes)

Hurry up, I wanna see what it runs.

After seeing our times and terminal speeds, I'm even more in awe of what scotty has achieved.

hey guys was an awesome night was very busy due to cancelation last week but perfect conditons .

was good to catch up ith the satgea boys who SHOWED up :) lol...

these heavy car can launch great

my first run i got a 2.033 60ft and 14.566 @ 150.41

second run was a 2.026 60ft and 14.435 @ 152.19 :)

beating a r32 gts-t with mods on both runs :)

was very happy with my result considering i only have an exhuast!

cant wait to go agin hopfully a bigger group next time

thanks to the boys that showed was a top night

i have set the bar at 14.435 ( for basic mods ) ... lets get a bigger group down there!

cheers rudi

Thats awesome rudi..gotta be happy with a 14.4 for just a zorst :)

Cant wait till mine arrives...wish there was more m35's here to have a meet at willowbank!

Maybe in the future can get some s1's down there also ;)

hey guys have any of you done a 400m time? i;m thinking of taking it to eastern creek :P

hey all now i;m back in sydney i did a check on my fuel reading at the end of 400m and it was 23l/100.

and yet to post pictures when i was up against a skyline r32 in the drag. yes i won !!!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers

  • 3 weeks later...

Well Spoolin and I went out to WSID last night and popped our drag cherries in the stags!

Had a blast, but it was so busy we only got a couple of runs in over the 4 hours there! So we are itching to get back and better our times. But great fun.

I had one decent launch but I think I backed off before I passed the line, because my mph was lower than my slowest run...? which doesnt make sense to me.

Best run was:

60' - 2.007

330 - 5.897

1/8 - 9.185

1/4 - 14.468

MPH 93.89

Km/h - 151.10

Only modification is cat back exhaust. So I was happy to get lower than 14.5

Ben.

Very well done, thats the best 60 foot time we have seen is it? I think it comes down to how you throttle on, definitely cant just mash it.

Wheres the pic of the burnout? Oh wait thats right... ;)

With the Impul you just might get there, no speedlimiter vs scottys speed limited run :P

I think the speed cut is still there, the Emanage speed wiring isnt hooked up so I cant adjust the speedo either. Looks like I will need to crawl under the dash again.

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
