...and how much is it to refill 10lb again Adrian? (sorry, I know u have mentioned it before but I forget where...)

200sec is about 15 runs worth right.. unless you forget to switch it off as you go across the line...

It depends on so many things. I don't use gas off the line so the first second is without gas. You only use gas when you're at full throttle so you have to think, "how often am I at full throttle?".

It's not like a tap that you turn on and leave running. You would melt and detonate your motor to bits otherwise. It is therefore, impossible to forget to turn it off across the line however 'dis-arming' it is one of the first things i do once i go through the traps. You've seen me run with it ben?!?!? When the blue light comes on, the gas is armed. When I go through the traps at the other end, i swith it off within a couple of secs. Not so i waste it - just to be safe.

I remember my old kit, the bottle used to last quite a long time even when running around 150+ shot, shame I never got it to the drag strip before I sold it to a hooligan

LIES LIES LIES !!!!! Hooligan you say?!?!? Well I ..... BAH!

:rofl::P :P

Hey its awesome to see more and more imports drag racing!

My older brother and i are into old school V8 valiants and drag racing and about a year ago my brother brought a s13 non-turbo siliva to run around in. Well needless to say we got pretty bored with the performance of the sr20de and decided to bang a turbo on the side of the nonturbo motor. So far the only mods to the siliva is a front mount intercoola, a s14 turbo and a nizmo lsd, and the little "Q" has manged to rip out a 12.91@107mph, with stock na internals, stock turbo manifold and all, And she still going strong after bout 8months of just getting punished, We has some old 16" 225's streeties and we are heading to our local drag strip again this weekend to see if we can better this time with better traction. Oh yeah and she only runs 10psi,

It still has the stock na computer running it all, but we have a microtech mtx8 to go in it but we just havent gotten around to it yet, I'll let you know about how we go this weekend asap. Once again as a lover of cars it so cool to see imports out there dragin

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
