The trick is to get your 60' times down first. Adding NOS means SFA if you spin you wheels like crazy comming out of the hole.

take staceys quickest two runs for example she babyd the car on these two runs ,left the line better ie.good 60ft and no wheel spin on gear changes.sure a better driver would have gone quicker but for her level of experience no more power is needed until she can learn to drive it on the grip threshold to maximise the power she has got without comprimising grip.

What, like Brett?  11.7 is still a'kickin!

Brett is definitely the exception and you know it, Chris!! ;)

In his case, pay attention to the bit that goes something like, oh how was it again....

128 freaking miles per hour !!!!!!

:cheers:

the car is being stripped at the moment (yes another build-up) doing away with items that dont req.eg hicas abs a/c etc .seam welding chassis installing cage,different suspension setup.big single turbo kit (T51R SPL) going to try for hpi top ten.....hello high power..... goodbye transmission. p.s. PAC boys prefer blondes ....lookout

Maybe I am old fashioned (at 23 years young), but with NOS you can sit there all day running the same time

I wasn't clear in what i meant.... I meant with NOS you will run times better than without NOS etc... then when you run out of NOS the guy next to you without it now starts to beat you, and will continue doing so until you refill your bottle....

in reference to what you read my comment as - i'm sure it would be alot harder to run consistent times with NOS, more to think about, more to get the timing right etc...

these seem to be in the grey weather legal or not.

Ask 10 cops and see what answers you get. I'll put money on it. What if you put Nittos on your car to race? Everything else was stock and they are radial tyres after all... But then you drive home and get pulled over. The cop gets you to pop your bonnet and sees that all is as it should be. Checks your tyres (as your guards are covered in rubber:D)and they're fine too. But what's this? Your tyres don't have the same weight rating that your tyre placcard specifies?

Oh oh.... Your bone stock GTR just got defected for having ILLEGAL tyres. While he's looking at you closer now cos you give him/her a earful of cheek, he notices that your rego sticker is slightly peeling off. What do ya know?!?! Another ticket.

What a shame you can't tell the people on your favourite forum that your times were in street trim, street legal, whatever. Better get that rego sticker re-stuck too!

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
