Is vct working correctly. That looks like pretty lazy response.

If im honest i dont know whats up.

Dex is unsure also. Dunno where to go from here... Will give it a burst at the drags and see what i think

Well i cant take a trick.

Took both cars down to the drags sat. And both went poorly!

The torana had 2 runs in and on the second run broke the casting around the alternator and had to coast it home as it was getting hot.

And worse for the Skyline. 1st gear and second gear ran beautifully. But as soon as you but it into 3rd, or 4th, it coughed spluttered and backfired. No acceleration and breaking down something shocking. needless to say nearly $1500 worth of tunning and its still not right. Unsure what the problem was...

So the torana ran a 12.1 which was shocking and the skyline a 13.5 which again was no where near it for either! Only positive is 13.5 isnt bad for coasting from just over the half way point... hopefully see a high 11 out of it

Back to the drawing board tho!!

Without reading anything in the thread. Main reasons for it being laggy.

Exhaust restriction, cam timing, poor tune, VCT issue. It will most likely be one of those.

Thanks mate, will take it somewhere else to get a second opinion on tune etc.

haha defs not an exhaust restriction as it only has about 3 feet of exhaust

Long time coming but i got the car tuned, again. This time by a different tuner and to say it was tuned badly seems an understatement.

Havent had a chance to take it out to the drags again but have a drift prac day coming up in 3 weeks i think, so will test it out then

attached the new dyno print out

Well took it drifting sat.....

could be over kill for me trying to learn lol...

Jumped in a few other cars with much less power and some MUCH more responsive and made learning easier.

But damn was it fun / fast!

The clutch either let go at the end of the day or the spoigot is sticking or something. so will have to fix that. but the poor little thing got a hammering and ran well all day.

The tidy up will start soon. trying to source a r33 gtr front bumper and also some head lights....

Will post pics as i can find them

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
