Rb 30

Rb 26 head

Methanol

88mm Precision turbo

power glide

Four link rear end

The Car has nitrous to spool the turbo on the start line but it wasnt used on friday night.

So a pro tree would be no problem

What car do you have Zebra?????

And you are obviously not a drag racer because it dosnt matter if its a pro tree or a normal tree the timers dont start till the wheel moves past the beam.

Looks great for a first time out.

Although the timers don't start untill the wheel moves past the beam, the race starts as soon as the light is green so the other guy would be long gone.

As it is it would really struggle in competition unless they have a creeper on the transbrake.

I'm sure with a little NOS that'll all be sorted and it'll be fine.

Awesome job for the first time out, looks like easy 7s.

Robbie.

It's a bit of a shit go to judge the car's startline performance on its first meeting...

just saying that it took a while and that it would be interesting to see how it goes...most real big power turbo cars struggle...which im sure you know.

What ever dick head...and who gives a f**k what car I have, I could have a Nitro Funny car for all it matters...and no shit the timers don't start until the front wheels leave the beams.....so go back to polishing your "race car" and f**k off!

Zubra, there is no need to be so aggressive and fling insults. Your first post appeared to be very judgemental on a car that has taken years to build and one that runs 8.3 on its maiden pass (to be the 2nd quickest Skyline in Aus, I believe?). The rest of your posts have gone downhill even further.

Why does almost every drag thread have to descend into such ignoramic unplesantries so quickly? At least wait until the car's second meet :D

Now, back on topic. Awesome performance from Alex in the Birrong Automotive R33. Does anyone know if the car had any damage on Friday? Look forward to its next meet.

No damage just a loose converter so the box will be pulled out and converter tightened.

Car will hopefully be back for the sport compac meet in 3 weeks.

My car should be out soon. I have put the 19 s back on it and ive been driving it around a bit but i will get back to the track soon!

lol nice one hero.

Who is the key board warrior???...threatening to fight me because I called you a dick head on the internet. Take a valium dude, you need it.

NXTIME - It may have sounded judgmental, but it wasnt meant to be.

Its not like I said "That car is a piece of shit it takes 10mins to get on the stall and i'll smash dream boats cause they called me a dickhead on a car forum here's my ph #"

So in hindsight I should have kept quiet so the little princesses don't get their knickers in a knot.

You got my number call me f**ker im in canbera a fair bit.

And yes you should keep yor mouth shut.

neh....ill just have a good chuckle at your big man status.

I will laugh even more if the 7 million spam ad mobs find your number and send you 11ty texts everyday

not bad at all! 8.3 is awesome for a first time out. hell it's awesome for the 100th time out...

i'm sure there will be plenty more to come. it probably will be a bit of a challenge off a pro tree but the easy way around that is get into the burnout as soon as poss, don't run it too deep so you can back it up quick and get it into stage before the other bloke. once he starts getting into stage then get it up on the stall and that should be plenty of time to have it building boost and have it up on the launch limiter ready to go.

but i'm sure he knows all that anyway. there's plenty of little games you can play to turn the advantage your way.

as far as the insults and threats on both sides. try and keep them to yourself. it just makes both of you look stupid and adds nothing to the forum and in the end all that happens is you get banned.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
