Hey guys, just want to see if any NSW guys with NA's would be interested in a run down at the drags. Tried to get some 300ZX's to go on the zed forums but most of them are too scared to get their skirts dirty so i'll try here. Turbo guys welcome too, just NA's i think would be closer competition to my car :P I have a few friends who want to go aswell so i want to gauge interest to see when i can set a date for it. Let me know if you're interested guys, i'm shooting for low 14's this time :D

Hay man I'll be sure to come , eastern creek?? I have a gtt

Yeah mate eastern creek, i'll let you know when. Just looking for some semi slicks first :)

Maybe i should go, i hav'nt been with my new engine but i dont have a new helmet either.

Fairly sure i can organise a helmet for you, if you decided to come.

sweet, i need to get a helmet aswell, but yeah im definently down i have only done track days with my skyline, havent done drags since my old days on my p's with my NA r34.

Haha ill come break out the 33 na lol anyone got any ideas on a rough time mine will run :-P

Whats done to it? Guys if you need helmets they have a few to lend if you get in early.

Only a cat back exhaust lol so i expect it to run something slow... What would you think it would run ive seen some n/a's run good times standard

I've seen a catback & pod NA R33 do 15.4 @ 92-ish mph which is fairly good considering its only a 2.5L motor. It all comes down to the launch, as it will make or break your run. I'm hoping i can find semi slicks before i go again, spun most of first gear :(

yer whats done to yours your quarter times seem really fast for a n/a

On the 300ZX i have twin 2.5" Catback exhaust, K&N Pod Filter, Underdrive crank pulley & a brass button clutch. No idea if anything is done internal wise, but it does pull fairly well compared to other NA zeds i've driven, including my cousins old 140rwkw one. We'll see what it does when i get the other lightweight pulleys, lightweight tailshaft, Semi slicks & Nistune done, should be 14.1 or 14.2-ish after that.

I never realised the 300zx were that quick n/a... Nice work tho certainly is making out into a quick p platers rig.. Ill definatly be i on a wednesday night for a run or even a national park run anytime

try make a allocated date so you can work out how many people can get there. I have a helemt thats just to old and there is nothing wrong with it. ill have to try hire one.

Na 300zx's dominate NA r33's

Hows the 2nd of next month for everyone? i may have two V6 commodores coming along with an MX6 so it'll be a fun little day. I don't think i'll be able to get any other mods done by then so i'll run in current trim again, will try adjusting my launch technique and lower my 60ft times. Enjoy the vid.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
