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

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
    • Yep four point harness. Mounted to a bolted in brace running behind the seats. Dont use it for daily driving tbh but good to have for when its needed plus it looks cool.
    • I had to double check the thread title r34 gtt offset advice lol. Thought maybe i posted on the wrong thread. 😂
