BoNeR,

Brett is talking about the fact that there is a feeling that Supras are great cos their bottom ends hold massive power without forged aftermarket bits....

And that Skylines are crap motors in standard form as they DONT have the same properties.

*** BU5TER held 300++kw @ the rears and had it's arse well and truly RACED TO THE N'TH DEGREE for 6-8 months on standard innards!!!!! ***

He also hints at the fact that a std ceramic turbo is only good for low thirteens or, at best, high twelves on our cars.... Also a flying load of steaming B.S.

Adrian

Adrian,

Congrats on the time mate, sorry it took me so long to notice :D

I am going to have to try this drag thingy one day! Just so I can run a quick 10 and be done with it!!! lol.

BTW, it is raining in the lower mountains atm if anyone was planning on going tonight.

Dan.

Well done indeed!

Sensational time to say the least.

Nitto's definately are worth the $$$

Q for ya, does the NOS reduce the exhaust temps do ya know?

Just wondering how your exh wheel is holding up. NOS is something i know nothing about... yet :D

Doesnt really affect me (gt30) but asking as a general question.

WOW! :rant:

That is such an awesome time. You must really be able to peddle that thing. I was there at the first WSID meet to see you and buster run and I remember being impressed with your ET then considering the mods you had.

Congratulations.

Richard

.......... and he's right.

Most people who "claim" that are talking without the assistance of nitrous.

R31Nismoid: On the contrary, nitrous sends in-cylinder and subsequently exhaust temps through the roof...

R31Nismoid: See above. I think you're getting confused with nitrous oxide's tendency to reduce inlet temps. It does quite the opposite to the exhaust gases, increasing them dramatically.

I'm wondering how the exhaust wheel is holding up too but now it doesn't really concern me as I have achieved what I set out to with it :P

Andrew, I hear ya....but that was a big part of the point i was trying to make. People write nitrous oxide use off for whatever reason and stop considering it as an option. I really feel it should be as commonly considered (for drag racing) as bigger front-mounts, cam gears, etc etc...

Just trying to open a couple of eyes (and close a few mouths :() that's all :(

1.6 sec 60ft?

How'd you launch it & what suspension mods?  

Awesome time too mate!

Cheers,

matt

Majanal's right. Whiteline works kit. Launching? I don't get to have any secrets?!??!

Okay then...

I started using the gas off the line about 2 street meets ago and found that it improved my 60' times by a tenth (2.0 --> 1.9). I guess this is about the same as the bigger turbo guys leaving the line on boost (i know it's not exactly the same for a couple of reasons).

My 4 most recent times were:

12.585

12.595

12.536

12.556

All with 1.9 --> 2.0 60'.

I changed to the Nittos and used the same technique and revs (3-3500) i use for the street tyres. It got off the line reasonaby well but it was obvious that i could've given it a fair bit more off the line instead of slipping it for most of 1st gear. The result made me chuck cartwheels - 12.2 sec

Next run - 4-4500rpm launch, hardly slipped the clutch at all (fraction of a second) before getting all the way off it and nailing the throttle wide open. It hooked up really hard and i stayed into 1st longer than usual - (I may have even *just* bumped the limiter of 7400rpm for a millisecond). I was pretty pumped so I tried to do everything right and was concentrating sooo hard that when Brett asked me how it felt at the end of the return lane, I wasn't sure what to say!

The straight-faced b'stard kept asking me how it felt till I said it felt really good and then he told me my time. I nearly fell out the door!! Then he told me the 60' time. I belted him saying that if he was having a lend of me i'd go mental! (yeah right :P). He assured me that he, "didn't joke about times, mate." and the slip confirmed it.

There. Happy now? :(

Adrian

NOS or not unreal FN effort. no one says anything when someones cashed up to the eye balls ands throws thousands of dollars at the latest biggest f*ckoff turbo kit and runs a great time bloody good effort. LOL brett hasnt hired you for launchin classes yet ? : Þ

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
