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!

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
