The skill level required at the track (with Stockish R33 gtst skylines being fairly slow) is very basic. I mean can you drive a car in a straight line? Unless you are physically or mentally handicaped then extracting straight line performance is very easy in the driver skill department. This " but you are such a good driver " comment I hear is complete rubbish. Your equipment can let you down tho', it sets all the big limits to performance.

My 13.3 second pass consisted of a poor 2.3 second 60ft so that aint good launching. There is more to going fast than rwhp (it helps) there are many speed related issues a dyno doesn't give info on, these are the issues holding 90% of all R33 gtst owners in fairly slow times.

Zanda if i get my car back in the afternoon yes, otherwise next wed.

Rev210, never said i was a fantasic driver or anything just meant that if you have never drivin down the strip before than some knowleadge in how to launch, change gear at the right time etc, could get a better time.

3000 to 3500 launch, 6500 shift on factory dump, 6850 with high flow exhaust all the way through.

factory dump (apparently) causes breathlessness above about 6500. Not that I can speak from experience mind.

oh yeah, and resist the temptation to do a one wheel burnout to impress the trevs in the bleachers. just drive around the water and park it.

if you want to know how the drags/timing/lights work, ask the guys down there. theyre megga helpful and very friendly. theyre much happier to have you ask than for you to do the wrong thing...... their patience isnt so good then.

other than that, smile, and when the adrenaline kicks in at the end of the straight, dont forget to brake.

seriously. I nearly didnt!

The 265's won't hurt, 18's in a low profile are not the best but the wider area is going to help. Stockies are a bit of a handicap if you only have 205's.

HIPSI,

Wasn't implying anything about your abillity or lack of it. Just a general comment in regards to people who blame themselves when really their cars setup is to blame.

dan - tyres would stick better when theyre cleaner, so once or twice round might improve it, but street tyres dont like heat - just ask anyone whose driven 5 laps on a circuit at flat tack on street donuts - so I reckon youre much better off leaving them cool.

dan - you going down tonight? cam and I probably will.....

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
