Finally got the tyre pressures right and me sorted on the drag racing thing and late in the night we cracked the 10's last night at WSID. Our second event at drags, and it was on street tyres.

Exact time was 10.894 1.690 60 foot and 130.85mph Ambient temp 22C.

The run after that did a 1.597 60 foot but then missed second gear and then ran out of fuel and night was over anyway.

Off to get a roll cage then will be back next year.

Big congrats mate. I bet you're rubbing it in large time on the Zed-Boat forums. Were you the first in your little bunch to go 10 sec? Was there a wager or what? :P

Can you confirm the type and size rubber you were using? I can't remember what you said but I think you wanted to run 16" BF Comp T/A's?!?!?

Well done again mate. Are any of the other Zed's racing for the 10's workshop cars? I hope you're rubbing it in!

Comp TA street radials 275 50 15 .

Rubbing it in everywhere especially the doubters. I called Jason at Street machines to tell him I knocked him off the fence by only 4 thousands of a sec. Will be in HPI in a few months in the back as they have a delay printing.

so you did crack the 400rwkw mark john, I thought you were gonna ateempt it with 360ish.

Congrats all round, esp to your tuner :)

perhaps I should alter this image now...

Well done John from the DIRTgarage crew, is your cage "only" cams and fia approved. It seems a bit of a joke that such a well constructed and fitted cage does not comply. ANDRA shame bloody shame. Paul...DIRTgarage.

I agree. :bs!:

Congrats on the awsome time, John.

Yes it is a bit odd I can tear around turn 1 at Eastern Creek at near 200ks but need a cage to go down a straight and with the walls so close. Not saying CAMS are slack but ANDRA a bit strict, but then hey I have seen some of these hectic sick bro drag racer gear knob drivers drive. Cage I have is only a Cusco bolt in job. Getting the Groove Rider Fabrications special, including the strut tower tie in support. Yes still mainly a circuit car and will sacrifice a little weight for better handling for circuit.

Funky Monkey love the Zed Barge thing. Big fat and wide but with grunt.

Wreckedhead I am pretty confident I will run a 9 in my circuit car before you do and not with current motor, it is for sale as going VQ35 500rwkw and alloy block and 100kg less weight. I will be waiting for you in the 9 sec club. Have you even run a 10 and not on Grand Turismo??

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
