Hehe it feels like a need a lighter flywheel :rant:

In mine, third and fourth are the best gears - it only really starts to boogie once the needle is past 100km/h, and over 160km/h it really shines. Fifth is a bit tall for good acceleration until you start making serious power, but it'll still pull the needle all the way around until it hits the fuel gauge, great for novelty points :wassup:

Only problem is that you can only really use it to its best on the track. Second is still good fun (and great for blowing away ricers) but out on the track is where it comes into its own.

Well my bike indicates 134km/h on the rev limiter in first gear, which is half way between second and third in the line, and with a bad launch (~2.1 60') that'll be over in around 5 seconds. Half track at the drags in 7.4 at just over 105mph (~169km/h), which would be the top of third gear in the line, so you'd need to change gears three times (into fourth) in that 7½ seconds. You'd be in first for about 1½ sec of that given the crap launch, in second for maybe 2½ sec, and third would be the other 3½ seconds. A proper launch would easily wipe a few tenths off that. So if you can imagine having to change gears that quickly, control the throttle and the clutch, and keep it off the walls, you've got a fair idea. The bike is quicker at half track than the car is at full track :rant:

It's a pretty cool feeling crossing the 400m mark at well over 200km/h :) I need to scab a ride on a GSXR1000 or something, now THAT would be exciting down the strip...

Running the bike has actually given me better car control - the Skyline is much slower, so there's more time to think. What I mean is, I know what 170km/h in under 7.5 sec feels like, so doing less than 130km/h in 9.5 sec is much easier.

Not trying to sound like a tool, just trying (badly) to explain it :)

I cant even begin to imagine what it would be like in a 10/11sec car

It gets hard when you're only JUST scraping the upper limit of the higher number there, Ben :rant: That said, it gets MUCH better the more you do it :))))

Hey Guys. What does it feel like when you plant your foot in 1st gear? What are its most powerful gears? (in a Skyline)

A stockish answer to your question:

1st gear is good to get some whiplash happening but it usually ends in wheel spin when pushed even a fraction too hard. 2nd is where the fun begins, putting you back in your seat and preparing for 3rd. Once you hit 3rd watching the needle shoot from 100 to 150 odd is awesome! Past that, 4th slows down a bit but still pulls hard beyond what can be read off the stock speedo.... then you know you're moving :P

The most powerful gear is 1st hence the ease of wheelspin. I feel the power most in 2nd then 3rd. 2nd is my fav gear, esp thru the twisties :(

What car were you comparing to?

my best gear is 1st gear heaps of power then 2nd and 3rd.

hey for a qtr mile time i got a 13.58 with pfc, exhaust, fmic, 12psi boost. I had 2 12'' subs as well. Does that sound right?

my mate got a 14.00 sec with standard ecu, exhaust, 10psi boost and no subs.

what u guys reckon?

Sounds about average dude. The trick is the launch, not that Im a master at it but the more you do it the better you get at it.

I lurve 1-2-3 gears

1st - waste of time

2nd - fun for scaring the everyday commuters (fishtailing always gets their attention)

3rd - can be interesting on cold tyres. Good for instant overtaking power on warm tyres.

4th - overtaking at high speed and cruising at medium speeds.

5th - high speed cruising and the track.

The above really depends on the tyre temps. When the Nittos aren't warm it's wheelspin city.

Would be up around 200 at a guess. Easiest way is to go halfway up the tacho, then double the speedo. Eg if it cuts out at 8000, go to 4k and read the speedo. If it shows say 98km/h, double that. That'd be your 'indicated' speed anyway, as for how fast you're really going, well who really knows, but as an indication, at 110 on the speedo my PFC shows 106.

With those mods I would be expecting a little more. Just got my 33 GTR from compliance about 4 weeks ago, took it to Willowbank completely stock (except for BBS rims and Yoko 265 tyres and APEXi BOVs) and ran a 13.467, although the clutch was fairly average by the 8th run. I have a friend with a 33 GTR also, with similar mods to you, and although he hasn't taken it down the quater he is definately quicker than me, by a fair margin.

Will definitely be posting dyno charts when they're done.

I was using 75hp jets for the 11.9.

Adrian

I reckon go for 10's on the standard turbo mate. Just have some spare cash for an engine rebuild ready when you up the shot.

What fuel and nitrous jet sizes are you using for the 75 shot?

Yeh i know thats what i thought. Im removing the subs this weekend and gona give it another shot. The problem i think is when i up the boost to 15psi, there is a big lag between gear change and spool up. any suggestions? When i lower boost say 12psi its quick? Very strangle and will need to get it looked at.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
