buster,

We all agree that your car only does 11's when you want it to. You decide when you'd like to go quick or if you'd like to putt around.

If you have the power under your foot you can choose to use it or not if you have a large turbo or an equivalent nitrous kit. It doesn't really matter. So in reality your car is only an 11 second car 'some of the time' and not all of the time regardless.

You will find the nitrous equiped car is much the same concept, just a different application.

Once you actually have owned a nitrous equiped car you will understand what I mean. So often is the case that people who don't struggle to grasp just how easy it is to activate and how long a tank actually does last driving around.

I think if you are in for circuit stuff then you won't get the same enjoyment out of a nitrous kit as a nice big turbo setup. But it still doesn't mean you can't have both. And when it comes to the straight line nitrous is alot cheaper and perhaps even a tad more fun.

buster,

didn't have a chance to do any timing device stuff. Was a week off going to the motorplex with the better part of 150hp shot when the roo's made the change of plan (no nitrous involved there).

The old bus had the go to do a high 12 without gas. It ran a 13.3 with a major tuning issue without gas and a 2.3 60ft (thanks to uneven inflation on the rear tyres) so I was guessing a mid to low 12 would be very easy. Pushing the envelope a little probably 11's but, that would have made it more of an iceskating run. I think I had an offer of some 540's for the day too so had it all come off maybe a low 11? You never know. The batton is passed to adrian now so I reckon he can get pretty close to a 10 with the same hit I used, well I hope he does anyway.

True rev though I thought using nitrous was illegal to use on the street and would become very very expensive if you tried to use it all the time, my 11 sec car is an 11 sec car when ever and where ever I want it to be

Yes I do agree it is at the strip or track but just having the power at the strip or track may not suit every one, like myself who enjoys the power all the time

Once you actually have owned a nitrous equiped car you will understand what I mean. So often is the case that people who don't struggle to grasp just how easy it is to activate and how long a tank actually does last driving around.

Once you've actually owned a GTST that runs 11's at 128mph without gas you might understand where i'm coming from as theres nothing like knowing you've got the power when ever and where ever you may need it

Buster,

Doing anything like an 11 second pass on the street is illegal too. I'm sure you aren't saying that you drive around the suburbs with full throttle every second of the way with a 2wd, you don't have a GTR so even if you wanted too it wouldn't happen. If you are responsible I guess the 11 second pass is only legal on the strip (or maybe darwin :P ).

I understand where you are coming from I've been there with other cars. And I'm probably going there again with the gtr.

As for knowing you've got the power " when ever or where ever you need it " , adrian will tell you (as I'm sure other people who have owned nitrous equiped cars would) this is his understanding about his car too. If thats your bottom line there isn't a fig of difference, appart from an occasional tank refill.

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
