1st time at the drags and definately first time in the GTR. It was at the Race4Real event at Eastern Creek.

Had 3 runs. First 2 runs, I had it in R mode and it didn't click to me that I had to have it with VDC off. Only managed a best of 12 seconds flat :unsure:

Last run, turned VDC off and ran a 11.2. Should have a bit more as launch was rushed and definately wasn't 100%

Will be back next week and hopefully crack flat 11s/high 10s

Car currently has 360KW atw. Midpipe, Catback, Intakes and Tune. Also running 275 and 335 tyres.

What year model is yours and my best run was 11.24 I own a 2011 only had k&n panel filters and all in R mode. I now have a mines midpipe and am going to eastern creek next Wednesday also looking at getting a Ecutek tune as I watched a clip of there BOTL (boost off the line) and it hooks up really well instead of bogging down that tiny bit on launch 60" times were smashed from standard launch

this is one of my runs - pretty non-eventful though lol

10.81 on 21" yokohama street tyres with a fair bit of slip and short shift into 2nd

will be going back soon in the cooler weather with my stock 20s to knock a few tenths off

This is one with VDC ON lol

Here is one with VDC OFF

You guys running Auto mode or Manual mode? I only had one run with VDC OFF in Auto mode. I will try VDC OFF and manual mode next week.

Lol i dont think Vtec kicked in yo for the honda ;)

It gets off the line so well though! Good work... Looked like a quiet night there?

Yeah, was quiet. But very slow. A few of the ealier cars kept spilling liquids on the track which put a stopped to things for a long while.

Yeah a bit disappointing... Was that what caused you to only have 3 runs?

domino_z, was that run with you on E85 or before?

that is my current state of tune - e85 @ 420 awkw

that run was vdc-r lc5 @ 4000rpm irc - i have around 5 diff maps at varying launch rpms from 2500rpm to 4500rpm

ive ran in auto and manual mode, auto is slightly quicker but iirc i grabbed 2nd myself on that run as it just spun too much in 1st

i'd love to be able to go run after run trying diff techniques, but early this year it was just far too packed and far too hot waiting in line - i could prob get a tenth more out of these tyres by modulating the throttle in 1st, but it'd be easier just to put my stockies on the back and chase maybe 2-3 tenths

i use my lc with vdc-r otherwise it's just too much wheelspin on these yokohama v103's. i will upload the lc5 vdc-off next time i go with my stock tyres as ill have a fair bit more grip

this was the first time we went at start of the year

temp was rediculous - the wait time was around 2hrs per run and we were cooking with no shade and high 30s track temp

my fastest run is at the end of the vid, 10.9 with aircon on max because i was dieing by the time i got to staging

I'll probably go again this coming Wednesday. Should be quiet as State of Origin is on I think.

Awesome I'll see you down there I will be there with a few mates in there Evos and that's what I was thinking so hopefully we get a fair few runs I've never had a run at night only through the day when it has been really hot and humid so it would be interesting to see if if makes much of a difference :)

I took the GTR out for the first time on Wed night and was a little disappointed not to crack a 10 sec pass. Best was 11.05. Mine's also got 360awkw's.

The main issue was the launch. I'm also getting 1.8 60fts, but these things should be doing heaps better surely. I get high 1.5's in my 2 tonne barge (5.0 supercharged FPV with 420rwkw's).

I'm guessing I need to fiddle with the launch control? It seems to hesitate just for a split second on take-off at the expense of a good 60'.

ATM launch I've got LC5 flashed in.

Any advice guys? Heading back out to Willowbank on Saturday arvo.

Been reading on NAGTROC

They recommend using comfort mode and to decrease tyre pressure to about 28psi

I had several runs and was also told to have comfort mode on but noticed that I was getting better times with all in R mode and I had 31psi last time and went pretty good... You still going there Wednesday night?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
