2rismo's time was the 13sec

From memory he's running about 200rwkw + 50hp nitrous :wassup: right Adrian ?

With some nitto's or BF's you got a 12.7sec begging

Personally i'd be far more happier doing consistent 12.7's all nite than 1x low 12sec and 4x mid 13's. No point going to the 1/4 expecting to drop half a second in 1 nite.

I agree but why no go all out on one pass and then repeat that for consistency?

Just had a thought.... What's the quickest that ANYONE has gone on a std turbo'd (non-hi-flowed, ceramic wheeled etc) GTS-T???

2rismo, what tyres were you using?

Sh1tty sh1tty sh1tty Pirelli semi-slicks that had gone off. They're really designed to run @ 48psi and go round and round tracks not straight up for 400m.

BF's coming (fingers crossed for Jamboree in March).

im really interested in nitrous mate. wat kit are u using? and how much was it if u dont mind me asking.

Kit is a butchered and bastardised mess. 3 different Nitrous companies' products involved. (NOS, OzRace and ZEX) as well as the ancillaries like F.P.Reg, lines, fittings etc. Couldn't really give you an idea of price on that but a full kit with bottle shouldn't cost you more than 1300 bux. NOS, ZEX, OzNos are all about that.

In short, I have everything crossed to go into deep-twelve-country by just changing tyres and switching the gas on from the launch instead of from 2nd gear.

Fair point, but if the car hits a low 12 whats going to stop it from doing it again?

I remember someone one the forums claiming a 12.9x with std turbo. I also know of another who claims 12.6 with stock turbo, but the only thing stock was the turbo.

Take a look at your own passes of late for example. You have done about 5+ 13.4-13.5's and then a 13.0 and a 13.1 so what I mean is rather than trying to do 1x 12.2sec and then rest all low-mid 13's i'd personally be aiming for nothing 'slower' than 13.0 (ever) but occassionally dip into the mid-high 12's when you get a good clean run (which as im sure you are aware is not possible on 'every' run due to a bad launch or missed gear etc etc) as your next 'step'.

I just wouldn't be going to the track aiming to knock 0.5->0.9sec off "just like that" because the mph says its possible.

Anyhow lemme know when ur back at WSID with some decent tyres and i'd be very interested in watching again :P

If it was that easy many more people would be doing it.

Think about it... you have 12-14sec to do what u gotta do. A minor 0.1-0.3sec stuff up anywhere along that 400m is gonna ruin a good time.

I just think consistency is the key to a 'quicker' time. With a 115mph TS a 12.1 flat would not be out of the question thats a whole 0.9sec faster than what has currently been done :headspin:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
