Hey Guys

Going to take the GTR down to WSID in a few weeks for a run down the 1/4 mile , I've been doing abit of reading on these forums to try and work out what times the car should be roughly good for , I've seen some very differen't results though.

Basically the run down on the car is it's an r32 GTR with really no extra weight ( stero's and the like) , I have a dyno graph from the previous owner from when the PFC was installed and tuned at C&V which is for 275kw@all four wheels. In this form on a perfect run what should the car be able to do ? , I'm hoping for high 11's am I asking too much?. What would 275kw@at all four be in rwkw as I am a little confused on how it would be worked out seeing as it is not a constant 4wd (coming from a wrx back ground here) .

Also another thing with the car it has adjustable cam gears but they haven't been fiddled with yet and are at the stock setting's. If I'm chasing a decent 1/4 mile time should I be looking to get them adjusted for peak power , mid range , or low down . I know that last one might be a stupid question as I have my own thoery on what I should be looking at getting them adjusted for just wanted to check with the people who are in the know .

cheers

Brett

Yeh will be first time out racing the gtr but not first time at the drags, plus WSID is a pretty quick track . Was there a few weeks ago was talking to a guy with an r32 GTR with just the usual mods (pods and exhuast) less power then me he managed 12.0@114mph , if I can go 11.99 I'll be happy.

For now lol

It's pretty hard to run an 11 with standard ceramic turbos without risking breaking them and blowing the engine in the process.

I disagree. There are GTR's that have run quicker than 11.8 in both Aus and NZ with both std turbos and motors. I've even heard of a std turbo gtst that runs 11's. :cheers:

Mate, I think that you should be looking at 11.5 - 11.8 depending on how you get the launch done. Good luck and make sure you scan your timeslip no matter how you run and post it in the timeslip registry.

i think under 11.s is hard to get, even with experianced drivers( not me) and even driving the same car for years, you cant estimate what your car should run at the creek, just take it down and have some fun, dont expect to much the first few time till you get used to launching as i have seen a lot of people get dissapointed after running bad times the first few times.

Usually it will take you serveral times to get used to the car and if you have a standard clutch youll be racing twice befor you have to go home with no clutch at all.

spend the money get some good tyres, and now that its winter boost it up a little and go have some fun down the track. also remember gtr's take off the best bouncing off the limiter.

Yeh I've seen a few with the std ceramic wheel turbo's run 11's , I've got abit of a head start on them I'm running HKS 2530's .

Sweet, with good driving 11s should be quite doable! SOLID 11s even.

Only got one run on wednesday night came up with a 12.3@111mph whole front splash tray came loose and dragged under the front from about half track on . By the time we got it back to the pits and removed it the rain had started coming down.

Not impressed with the trap speed but putting it down to the gravel tray for now . Car made 270rwkw on unigroup's dyno the week before would have to think with this power should be able to trap about 115-117mph?. Might head down next meet and try again hopefully no rain this time.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
