This. Power figures for every run down to the tenth of a kilowatt.

big thanks to organizers, met a handful of other guys which is cool, and I will probably go to the next one. between now and then ill have to get back there to a few test and tunes to get the gremlins sorted. I got some footy also ill be uploading to Youtube soon from the day.

Also, thanks to a few guys who pulled up and offered assistance to me when my car started smoking after the 3rd, 4th, and 5th runs. I figured out why it was smoking... I was pushing that much oil up into the catch tank, it was going out the pcv and into the intake.

my fastest run was a 12.8 very early in the day (second run) when I was still learning how to drive it. unfortunately from there it just got slower and slower until I found I had lost 20mph at the big end.. later finding that I had 2 litres of oil in the catch tank, and about 1.5 liters had gone through the engine clogging up the air filter/intercooler/intake/AFM.. messy.. and a Big thanks! to Noel, for lending me tools to help me clean it up so I can drive home, your a champ mate.

cheers,

Hi Dale. I was one of the blokes to talk to you about your car. It was a pleasure to meet you. Hope to see you around at more SAU events soon and maybe with my car too ;)

Thanks mate, time is a killer for me and I'm on call 24/7 which makes it difficult. Definitely keen on attending more driving events, and I hope to see your beast their too.

cheers, D

Well now. Since you attended an official SAU event that automatically gives you an extra 50hp so no need to make any amendments :P

Well, I've been doing that for years, so god knows what I'm making these days!

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
