Ha guys,

Just got back from drag wars at the motorplex ,i took my gtr up for a run to see how it would good. Its running 320hp ball bearing garett turbos, tomei cams and cam wheels,rb 20 air flow ,700cc sard injectors and apexi power fc which has put out about 518hp at the wheels at 18psi but as been tapered back a little to about 500hp. The rest is all std.

So my second trip to a drag strip every in any car i managed a

elaped time 11.332sec

terminal speed 125.17mph 201.44kph

60" 1.757

330" 4.873

660" 7.391

1000" 9.524

I felt pretty happy with this as i was having a hard time great a nice lauch two much wheel spinning and a bit of shuddering but managed consistent 1.7 60" times,is this a reasonable time for wot im running as im very new the drag strip screen as the car was aim more for track day work

p.s any advice on getting good launches

Launch style depends on what tyres, clutch and suspension you are running:cheers

clutch is a multiplate unknown brand

tyres are zr275/35/18 nittos not the r styles they use in japan

suspension std shocks and slighty lower heavy springs at best guess

ps i got a feeling one of the rear shocks could be a bit dicky (will be checking condition soon)

Good to see Peter, I assume you got George in Bunbury to finish off the tune and continue development.

1.7 is quite good for a road spec GTR running road tyres. Anything less than that will probably require extreme clutch abuse on your setup.

Cheers

Ha Ken,

We did the tune at georges but i did the number crunching and cam adjustment george drove and between us we got to where we are now the tomei cam are awesome we pick up over a 100 hp just tuning them believe it or not and i am hoping to out it back on dyno soon to do further tuning but this time not for top end but for refining the rest of the map to best posible throddle responce and feel ,not that there anything wrong with it at the moment .

Ken how the gtr you got from over east going done much with it .

question for you ken i was talking with anthony i think a nice little asia guy with a r32 gtr works for sst (not 680hp anthony) he has done a single throddle body convestion on the gtr and says it improve throddle responce for him ,wot you think of the idea

If you dont mind me asking, what profile are your cams and what revs are you making max power at?

Gilly

My GTR is sold to David( Bobbo) on this forum .

The guys name is Aidwin and each to there own on the conversion.

Really can't see how individual throttle plates right next to the valve are going to give a better , crisper response than one big right at one end of the manifold...

Was it done as a mod by itself or in conjunction with a few other mods at the same time?

Cheers

tomei 260 9.15mm lift poncams they bolt staight in awesome cams for street and track use puts just a nice lump edge on idol (just slight) and makes 1600 plus trackable effort from at about 4600 and holds that right throught to about 7500

Was done by its self still running stock AFMs and air box, The car is so much more drivable and smoother at part throttle with out all the turbulance the 6 butterflys and shafts cause

with a nice power gain everywere. Next is remove the airboxes and meters and lots of dyno time.

12.2 with stock airboxes and turbos (1bar) and old worn stock motor with a novice driver is not bad.

Aidwin is one off SSTs apprentices and is logging every step me makes with this car and only making one change at a time.

Yeah sorry i am hopeless with names ,so wot are you driving now as the r32 gtr looked like a great buy and on the throddle body if he did anything else i'm not 100% sure but my only train of thinking was that went throddle shuts you pull a vacuvm on a much large volume so when it open your got it would pull the inishal shot very quickly over the very small volume of the std throddle body("maybe" only a thought i had last night when were talking). Anybody else tried this sort of mod out of interest.

ha steve,

novice driver i hope you didnt tell aidwin that hehe as he look to hard him self like a pro(top guy) ,i'm not sure if i'm aloud to ask this on here but wot the mod ~worth to get done as i enjoy track days etc and anything to help throddle responce is a good thing.Wot you think of the 11.33 steve running wot i am, like aidwin i battle for traction all night and i have only ever been on the strip once before.(if anyone novice its me lol)

518hprw = ~390kwrw

i think yes once you break into the tens cage and andra licence but if you ran one 10.99 i dont think they would be all over you ,more if you ran consist or depther into 10s or a high mph i think

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
