.... 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.

Big thanks to QLDSC in particular tara and scott i know how much effort goes into organising events like this aswell as SAU Qld, Mike, Tony, Scot, Boz etc fantastic to see the club moving forward and getting back into some driving orientated events :)

Cheers

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head. (me)
    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When’s the tow ball on the 33 coming? 🙃
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
