Good to see you down there Davo , slippery as shit alright. :thumbsup:

well this is not what I was hoping to report, but not completely unexpected....

did a couple of very average runs, nothing but wheel spin off the line, was to pussy to torch the clutch :no:

1.9 & 2.0 - 60 foots, 11.7 & 11.9 both 126mph :/ being nice and gentle on the gear changes to the point it was fulling off boost between gears :mad:

So turned the boost up and went a bit more aggressive on the shifting, and destroyed 3rd straight away :whistling: I wasn't too shocked with that result...

managed to limp home with no third and what sounded like someone shaking a can of nuts and bolts under the car, so that gearset will be completely stuffed..

anyway altho not the best sample group, it doesn't look like the shorter standard 1st is any quicker out of the hole than the longer OS 1st, but there are too many other variables, don't know if it was the track last night or what, but I get better hook-up on the street, at barbs and pretty much everywhere compared to motoplex last night..:yucky:

Ouch mate thats a bit of a bugger. At least you were able to get it home.

My times were shocking,m as i later found out that my boost was spiking then falling away at the higher revs. Start with 12PSI go through the line at 7 :angry: . Fail

Consequently all i managed was a 14.4 second pass. Not great as when i went down last year i was pulling 13.8's all night.

1.9 60 foot time is average for a GTR? o.O

here i was thinking i pedalled it well! :unsure:

I didn't see any R34 GTR at the drags last night ??

Or was that a dig at my 60 foot ? if so, I realise 1.9 is not flash, :closedeyes:

the track was prepped yesterday and looked much grippier..

Hi Richard

Liking the youtube video - what a mean idle, and colour!

What hp are you making atw and briefly what mod's have you done?

Curious as my father has a 33 GT-R V-Spec with some fair mod's and his best so far is a 12.002 over the quater.

Cheers

heres one at the drags, I should be doing 10's but haven't managed one yet >_<

its a HKS 2.8L with TO4Z, and 710 @ the hubs, prob low to mid 600's ATW

you can find all the info you need in "SAUWA members rides" posted in about June this year :thumbsup:

I previously had another R33 GTR with 400rwhp and that ran 12.0 down the quarter ..

Well guys I went down Wed 14th with my R34 GT-T project complete and I was devastated when it crapped out on the first run ...

Not sure what the go is yet until I get it back on the dyno but basically it coughed as if starving of fuel and I felt as if I lost about 100hp through the mid range but ... here's the twist ... At about 6,500rpm it all comes back and spins the wheels like nothing is wrong

I'm confident there are no air leaks, checked out most of the fuel system but left scratching heads.

Runs fine just cruising around and even hits full boost according to the gauge when I boot it but it just runs like a stock skyline instead of a 342rwhp cammed RB25 haha

Oh well my pb still remains a 13.5sec but once I get the drama sorted I'll be back down with the now R888 tyres so hopefully they will make a big diff compared to my el' cheapo corsa tyres I had before.

By the way Richard, I am highly impresses with your car and thanks for that post! ;-) You must be a very happy man. Absolute awesome ride mate.

I wasn't going to get cocky too soon but ... I do have an RB25/30 conversion under way at Hyperdrive MS. So hopefully have that fairly early next year ;-)

Anyway, hope all is well guys and keep in touch

Thanks,

Brendan

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
