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!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
