Tested my 80 - 120 km/h time today. Pretty safe and easy to do on closed roads. Quite consistent as it doesn't matter about grip or launch technique and allows comparison to flexibility times of modern cars.

I tested 3rd gear, hand-timed, starting to accelerate at 60km/h. Temp = 29°C

Average = 2.8 seconds.

Obviously some room for error there but still not too bad in the heat. Will now need to test 4th gear.

example of cars for comparison - obviously gearing is a large factor (ie. Evo VIII). http://www.demonripper.com/Temp/Accelerationstest%2080-120.pdf

What are the rest of the specs of the car? We used to use that too, though a few we have done did actually have traction issues trying to test it haha. I have in my head mine was doing 2.5-2.8 range too but it has been quite some time since I tried it.

R33 GTST,

Apexi AX53B70 running 16psi, with supporting mods (intercooler, injectors, Nistune).

I thought it was tidy enough. Not a huge fan of 400m times as I don't like to launch too hard or smash the gears.

Nice. What 60ft times you running with sub 3sec 0-100?

You guys using vbox to measure times?

I've tended to use a mixture of GPS/Accelerometer/datalogging for whenever we've tried it out - I usually calibrate the ECU software using GPS to make sure the speed data is as accurate as possible, so as long as there is no traction loss it's not normally too bad. I've been in much quicker cars, but funnily enough the quickest 80-120 time I've actually specifically logged and checked was an S14 Silvia I've tuned which runs a TD05-16G (probably because we did so many logs while tuning there was heaps to refer when the idea of TED came to mind) and it was doing 2.1s in 3rd, and even sub 3s in 4th!

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
