I'm very keen to take mine down there. But as its still in Jetwreck's dad's garage I'm just not sure how it will be running this week. I was thinking about going in a week or 2 and was hoping Jetwreck's would be ready to trek there also. Keen to see the 13 sec line broken

What kp/h did dale hit when he got the 13.8?

100mph or piss fart away I think.

13.8@ 100.11MPH :yes:

I;'d like to but not ready at this stage..what time do you think it would get??

I'd be betting a 13.6, maybe better.

Your car has the same turbo as mine, with a bunch of other supporting mods and a damn good tune. ;)

Theo ran 13.9 with 206rwkw, and yours would have to have at least 30 odd KW more than mine.

What mods are you running again dale? Just trying to work out where my car should be at

Well my car is back together but I need a new BOV. Don't think I can sort that before tomorrow so I'm out for this week sorry guys

It's only farting, it should still drive well.. Just block it off like I mentioned if you are worried.

When's the tune? ;)

It's about time I ran mine, but Calder is closed at the moment. Nearest drags is Heathcote, 3 hours away. I may as well drive up for this.

It's bleeding off boost which sucks.

Tune prob not for a while. As much as I want an emanage. I have spent way to much money of late. The bank balance needs to recoup. But is has nismos so it will have to do the job for now.

If I do blank off the bov could it cause any damage?

Maybe a trip up to Sydney and wsid is due for you. I bet we could get a good stag turn out if you were also running. Plus Craig might sort his shit out also.

I went back to a stock stall converter, no hope of boost off the line for me, most of you would have me by 3 car lengths at the start while I crawl away.

But I would drop the high stall back in, just to upset Craig, if I was coming up sometime. :)

What mods are you running again dale? Just trying to work out where my car should be at

Blitz dry cotton panel filter, my own 2.5" mandrel bent suction pipe, Sierra S2 Highflow (ceramic coated), stock actuator with 5mm preload, plenum spacer, 3 inch dump (ceramic coated), 3 inch midpipe with 100cpi cat (ceramic coated), Fujitsubo Legalis exhaust and the brake wire cut mod.

Stock airbox, stock intercooler, stock computer, stock injectors, stock fuel pump.

There is other stuff, but not that directly effect performance.

The key mod in my case; is the loose nut behind the steering wheel. :whistling:

How much stall do you get off the line with the high flow Dale?

This is the issue I had; I could only stall the car to 2500 RPM; which left me with 5-7 Psi leaving the line. It got away ok; but nothing like it does on the street. At 2400 RPM it was still registering vacuum on the boost gauge.

I believe Sky^rt had a similar issue at Calder building boost at stall; but even knobbled, he ran a 12.9. :woot:

A full blooded launch would've put him closer to mid 12.

On the street; I can stall it up, it takes around 2 seconds to reach 2500 RPM and once it reaches 5 Psi, it whips up to 3200 RPM and 15 Psi.

Release brake; the torque split gauge goes to it's maximum, it spins the rear wheels pretty hard for about 4 metres, then pisses off.

The difference in launch is MASSIVE.

I firmly believe a "Street Launch" would've had me around 13.6.

Such is life. ;)

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
