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!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
