I'd like to see 8 seconds flat on a G tech timer with a standard N/A...won't happen...and if it does, you'll have to be bang on the mark with launch and gear change. It'll be closer to 9 on average. Still decent for a daily driver but don't expect to be beating Commodores and Falcons unless they are shit drivers.

Damn. That's as slow (or fast?) as my 2010 Mazda 3...and no it wasn't an MPS!

It's slower than my fat magna too, but speed really isn't everything. I think na drivers have a sh!t time of it, I was looking at gts's them for my p-plated brother and they're just too expensive. r33 s1 gtst's are now as low as 6k, and not for a shocking example either! Just gotta remember that it's an aweful lot more fun than the magna, and in any sort of traffic they're as fast as a veyron

Rofl.

Sure its not a 20E?

Maybe he's just honest, shifted lazily, didn't go to heaps of effort to time it, didn't get a formula 1 star start, doesn't have ideal suspension or tyres etc... did i mention honest? A lot more na skylines can do 12.4 than can do 8 flats.

My point being, sisters SR20DE auto, just punching drive got 10secs...

well i was lazy and scared of an animal runing in the road as i was trying it so it was not going to be the best. but i do need more practice of corse but hey it is what it is verry bad cant say it was good at all. not even for a first try ever for a 0/100 in any car so im going to try it again but not going to let it ruin my day cuz it was a slow time.

If you want to do it seriously do it at the drag strip. Otherwise you're just begging to get booked unfortunately.

Just because he did a 12.4 doesn't mean the engine isn't up to scratch, it just means he wasn't trying to put his license on the line or hurt anyone.

Hope you're not letting these guys get on your nerves. To to an awesome 0-100 you have to nacker the car, like really punish it. You also should do it on a hot day, on very expensive street legal tyres. You should be on stock suspension, or modified suspension for the strip, you have to have you're foot hard on the brake and build up the revs heaps, giving hell to the torque converter. Then when you go you have to make sure you're getting good productive wheelspin from those super expensive tyres (tyre have the most grip at ~10-15% slippage) etc etc.

In a manual skyline for example, you'd only get 5-10 hardcore goes on a stock clutch before it was ruined.

no no i know people are just havin fun im just saying its not going to ruin my day :thumbsup: . i knew i should have added a smile but left it out so my bad .

well i did it on an empty road where i could see if there was anyone around i dont plan to do it for the heack of it. besides all i need is a wallabe bouncing into my front bumper to make my day :yucky:

I don't get it.

I sat at lights on a highway, where the speed limit is 100.

Light changed, foot off brake, onto accelerator, push accelerator to floor, 2 hands on steering wheel?

Granny snail driver in their white box Corolla see you doing this & not taking 1-2 minutes to accelerate up to 100km/h (like the rest of the snails on the road), think to themselves "bloody f**ken hoons" & call the hoon hotline on you for hooning... :whistling:

Also I keep on hearing that Police can book you for "excessive acceleration", however I've yet to find that particular clause in the traffic hand book.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
