.... 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...

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.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
