.... 13.7 for a relatively stock ls1 in a reasonably heavy car is pretty good going. Your 33 is about the same weight as a commo with no interior or fat chicks. Most people have no idea how fast a flat 13 sec 1/4 really is.

N20 time... :yes:

I do. And this car should be getting close to them IF Nick setups the rear suspension AND tyres.

I'm in a heavier car, running 13.004 down the quarter at 106MPH.

Nick ran originally 13.9@106MPH in a car that is way lighter than I am.

Probably a smaller torque converter would help get this thing off the line easily, OR really really sticky rubber. Chasing more power is not going to help if you are already struggling to put power down at the half way mark...

So a few little things have happened to the car since I last posted. Firstly the old vinyl bonnet finally kicked the bucket so with the help of my little cousin we blew a coat of two pack over a new

I have et slicks sitting there, I never dropped my tire pressures the other day and I'm on stiff coil overs :)

I want a 12 second street car... It's just a matter of time

This is true... but for 2nd run at the drags with a poor set up it's not too bad.

As for improvements... Better tires, 0 static rear camber, softer rear springs/shocks, re-angle the rear cradle, adjust ride height to straighten drive shafts, lighten the car more, VHT tire prep.... list goes on. How far do you compromise???

No need to lighten it, it just needs a sensible suspension setup put in it.

Softer rear shocks and springs, get rid of the epic camber, and run low 13s.

PS: My 13.004 was on my first EVER run at the drags... ;)

But Pineapples, different shocks/springs, realign suspension, DONE. Go run flat 13s on same power.

Not really an update but a bit of car activity:

Dropped the oil and changed the oil filter and air filter yesterday preparing the car the the little run it got a Queensland raceway with the supra club yesterday. Overall the day was good with some mighty fast supras there, an even a 1uz powered jza80 (which I actually chopped down the main straight ;) )

So yeah just a few shots from the day.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
