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

If consistency is the issue, I would challenge you to look at the two times alone that were run AFTER the nitrous/over-rich condition was fixed.

13.0 @ 115.15mph

13.1 @ 115.56mph

Within a tenth of each other and also within half of one mph.

The 3 runs before that were revving only to 6krpm as the car was over-fuelling and turning into a slug (as evidenced by the massive black smoke plumes the car expelled just before every gear change.)

The car felt GREAT on the last two passes of the day....A different car that freely revved to a peak of 7298 rpm with gear changes coming within 100 rpm of this each time. Boost was stable and even for the majority of the run and the car suffered none of it's previous bogging up top as the fuel prob was fixed with correct jetting.

Ther point is this. Every time I run the car, I am aiming to get the absolute most out of it for that run. I don't care if i have a bad launch cos something about the WHOLE run could tell me something I didnt know before. I'm gonna come out and say it that I beleive a low 12 is possible in my car with Radial tyres - RIGHT NOW. Tell me why I should aim for 12.7 when 100 years of drag racing maths and some common sense tells me otherwise?!?!? Tell me why I should be dissapointed with running 14.0 in a stuffed-up run on the way to getting there?!?!?!

As a point of interest, after 4 meets and about 15-20 different runs, I am YET to have a day or night at the track where the car runs more than 0.5sec +/- different for the session.

I'm sorry mate but it just doesn't make sense to me to aim for the mud when there's so much better there waiting.

I would really like conformation on this.

What is the quickest ET / MPH that an R32/R33/R34 GTS-T/GTT has run with the std turbo intact and untouched?

Will also start a new post in General Auto asking the same question.

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.  

Why? The whole idea about going to the track is to see how fast you can get the car moving. If its capable, try different techniques until you get there.

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

I think this consistency thing you're on about refers to driver ability (ie practice makes perfect). The reason why most people run a super time around slightly slower times is for that 1 super run they got everything right. What they need to do is try and mimic these actions again and again until consistency is achieved. Achieving consistency for a slower time may provide good training for a faster pass but its really selling the car and yourself short.

Hope that makes sense...

13.0 @ 115.15mph

13.1 @ 115.56mph

I'm sorry mate but it just doesn't make sense to me to aim for the mud when there's so much better there waiting.

i totally agree there is shit tins left in it going by the mph.

what are your 60ft times outta interest?

Both of those runs were with high 2.2's.

Have gone 2.0 on more than a couple of occassions when the tyres didnt suck.

Hoping for the same mph on 2.0's then 1.8 on some Drag Radials.

Adrian

note... slicks :D

Fair enough i aint got a stock turb, but i ran 12.9 @ 109mph... with 2.1 60ft.

On your average 225 street tyre. And my car weights in the same as yours, and you have a decent advantage with your IRS setup

You need rubber mr 2rismo i think!

    • @Supernanoyour car has ended up in my hands and I was wondering if there has been any work done to the motor?  
    • Sigh... yeah OEM mount rear battery, very R33, very demure, very mindful.
    • Would need a substantial current draw in the car to make a bunch of sparks. Obvs to now test resistance to ground of the car's B+ lead. If there's a short there, you'll see it. Only likely place for that, as you suspect is alternator. But there is also the possibility that rats have had a chew on some insulation. Shitbox has the battery in the boot, yeah? Plenty of cable to attack.
    • Oh, I thought of that too... I disconnected the battery and hooked up the leads direct to the car without the battery in place. Sparks... I suspect the following: Alternator has decided to kill itself Starter has decided to kill itself I'll recharge the battery, then unplug both, and go from there. The above might take 6 months - however I did buy a Victron 15 AMP trickle charger, apparently it's better than CTEK?
