But for how long??? I think Merli is on a mission!!!!!!

Now how much of a nitrous shot were you going to put in Merli??? ;)

Not big enough I fear :)

How can I compete with a T78 w/ Nitrous?? I'll be running at about 150-200hp deficit, and if wreckedhead can "only" manage a 10.8 @ 126mph, I stand NO CHANCE in breaking into the 10s :D:(:)

Hey Andrew, look at his MPH. Nitrous will give you a quicker time, it's mainly off the line where it counts. But MPH is going to be more turbo based considering the small amounts of nitrous used.....Brett was doing 128MPH turbo only!~ chop chop

why was brett mph higher.....top run by the way wreckhead!!!! :headspin: :headspin: compared to what leewah ran and his extent of mods that was a super effort!!!! :headspin: :headspin:

Aren't street cars allowed to run semi-slicks now?? I thought the car ran the time on semi's, out of interest what size and type of tyre were they as the 60ft is nothing less then amazing??

hey buster i had some 18in x 10s wheels fitted on the back, with falken super touring hard compound slicks on the back only, they were super hard as we couldnt warm them up while doing a burn out as most people that were there with me noticed, it was still spinning like crazy off the line, but i dont care street car or non street car im going to get soe soft compoun bf goodrich slicks and go again, i wish with the soft slicks we/i can beat 10.8

If you go full slicks then you are gonna have to go alot quicker than 10.8 to get in that top 10.  

So your 10.8 was not on full nitto or similiar tyres? If not then you wont get into the HPI top 10

hey inasnt it doesnt bother me if im on HPI top 10, im doing this for myself

Thats amazing, we should see a lot lower 60ft and et then with the sticky goodrich tyres, it will ge great to see

I think you'll find if your talking about the BF Goodrich Drag Radials that they're fine for all street tyre records as they are a radial tyre ;)

i hope the bf goodrich drag radials are beter then the tyres i had for the lst run, i was shocked and ripped off on those slicks, i hope we get to se the video soon, so i can hear the 3rd gear miss, im just wondering what the time wouldhave been with a clean gear change and beter tyres, hmmmmmmmmmm

wreckedhead,

Congrats on the 10.8 mate. A great achievement. I don't think there are many people out there who understand how difficult it is to get into the 10s.

Keep up the good work and hope to see you in the 9s soon. I'm still working to get there :P

Dude, as I said those circuit slicks aren't going to do the job you want!

BFG DRs or drag slicks will however, and it's well documented what size DRs and what size drag slicks work on a GTR.

Remember the BFG gForce DRs in 17"/18" aren't what you want. You want the 15" BFG Comp TAs with nice big fat sidewalls (50/60/65 profile).

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
