I took my R32 GTR down to the drags tonight for the first time, and while I ran an 11.7 which I'm reasonably happy with I'm a bit concerned about the MPH. I have read quite a number of threads on here and given what others have run with similar setups I thought I would be quicker.

My previous R32 made 410rwhp (roller dyno) and this one made 470rwhp on a hub dyno. Now sure, dynos are dynos and the true measure is MPH at the strip. However, my last 32 did 11.8 @ 118mph on that horsepower, and my current 32 went almost dead on the same at 117.5mph. I had 4 runs all up, 11.7 then missed gears on the next 2 and then the fourth run I did a 12.0 @ 116mph.

I read through threads such as Marko's and with 325rwkw he was getting low 11s so I thought I would at least get 120-122mph. I have also studied the how to launch your GTR threads, the quarter mile in your 34 GTR thread etc etc. http://www.skylinesa...-gtr-the-creek/

Being that it was my first time at the drags with this car I didn't think I was going to get a great ET but should I have been expecting a higher mile per hour, or is it about on the money?

Here are the results from my first and last runs:

First

60' - 1.780

330' - 4.968

660' - 7.613 (speed was 151.73kph)

1000' - 9.863

ET - 11.776

MPH - 117.49 (189.08kph)

Fourth

60' - 1.757

330' - 5.052

660' - 7.771 (speed was 147.84kph)

1000' - 10.112

ET - 12.062

MPH - 116.73 (187.85kph)

The car's running a GT3582 @ c.19-20psi, has cams but not sure of specs, twin plate clutch. Tyres are Falken Ziex ZE912s (245s). Launch method was supposed to have been slip the clutch out at about 7000rpm but it turned into more of a sidestep at 7000rpm, and I tried to change gears as quickly as I could at about 7500rpm.

Any insight, particularly with reference to the above times at various points down the track, is muchly appreciated so I can practice a little more knowledgeably next time :)

In a heavier than stock R33 GTR (larger sump, radiator, brakes, coolers, 18" wheels etc) - I was running 11.4 @ 124mph with 335-340rwkw.

You are in a much lighter car with a tad less power (410rwhp = 305rwkw), so you should be pretty much the same to be honest. I'd say your setup has issues.

Your 60fts are good (so it's not a clutch problem) and your MPH isn't necessarily "too" low, but you would expect to be 120-122MPH at the least and that means you are probably not even making 305rwkw to be honest. A friend of mine years ago ran 117-118mph on stock turbos in a R32 GTR :)

Also the fact you have a GT35 @ 20psi and only 305rwkw, is also telling something. A GT35 on that much boost you'd be expecting closer to 350-370rwkw on a stock motor. So combined with the MPH, it's telling you there is something pretty wrong to be a good 8-10MPH down on what that turbo/setup is capable of.

Hi guys, many thanks for the responses. Mico, I'm not sure to be honest mate, the cams were installed by the previous owner. As R31Nismoid indicated the MPH seems reasonable for a low 300 kilowatts but given it last dyno'd at 470rwhp (hub) I agree, there must be something at fault with the setup.

Thanks guys, I will look into it :) As least there's potentially a few more MPH in it without changing too much!

Often you'll find hub results are not the same as a chassis dyno. They tend to read higher, so I'd still say you've got less than 300rwkw (which 117mph would suggest).

So easily down 50-70rwkw, which you'll notice once you get it - it'll be a different car and you will easily pick up 8MPH. Possibly a bit more.

To give you some perspective. A GT3076 (500-550hp turbo) will make around 300rwkw on 20-22psi. You have a 700hp turbo, that on 20psi has made 350/370rwkw on many many cars. A quick check of the dyno results thread would show you how easy and how many have done it :

Cheers mate, I keep a regular eye on that thread which is why I thought something was amiss given my 118ish mph. The ~330rwkw mark was always my 'target' I suppose so I'll get it back on the dyno in the new year and see if we can't figure out what's happening.

Cheers again for the feedback, appreciate it :)

  • 4 months later...

i ran 11.8 on 234kw on 98 octane stock turbos just replaced with steel wheels
stock ecu , ku31s all round. ( excuse my screaming after the race... was tad excited )


time slip is in description.

got abit of a list of parts to buy.... keen to see my future result. Edited by sultanaz

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
