Well I finally got off my ass and went down to the plex. It's better than ravenswood ever was I have to say.

First run 14.3

Second run 14.3

Third run 21.99999 ---- smoke that clutch baby yeah!

Fourth run 20.00 ------ Bang what the %$#* was that!

Vacume hose blows off thanks to me cleaning the engine bay and not putting a clamp back on the other day. DOH! At least it wasn't my turbo! I had no clamp so I thought it might just blow off again at 10psi so I put boost down to 8psi to see if the next run it would come off again. I managed a 2.1 60ft tho'.

Run No. 5 --- 13.8 / 101mph / 2.2 60ft. Wooo hooo!

Run No. 6 ---- 16 , no more for the clutch tonight time to go home.

For those interested my car has the following handicaps:

1) me driving, my own BO also affects alertness.

2) 100+kg of paper in the boot ( I took some pics of it )

3) Stock IC , ECU (I have no additional fuel management of any kind).

4) El' crapo 205s all round on stock rims.

There you go . You CAN run a 13 with a pretty stock R33, so go out and have some fun trying.:(:D

well done mate!

Cheers guys.

I hope this encourages 'our team'. I won't be down the drags again (to race) until I replace the stock clutch (poor things done 90k) and get some tyres a little wider than razor blades.

For reference, I ran a 13.802/103.68mph, 2.378 60'. Its all in the 60'. You would have rocketed if that 2.1 (60') run had of gone through.

So, gonna get a new clutch to match that flywheel? :(

Yeah I was running 10psi as opposed to 8 so the 2.1 would have got me a 'fat bastard' time. I speculate the ol dunger could have got a 13.7 maybe a 13.6 (with 1bar ) then again it didn't so we will never know.

I actually got the flywheel to go with the clutch, the clutch has been on it's way out for a while ( I carry too much in the boot all the time and try to race people on private roads ). I thought if I'm going to do the clutch I may as well do the flywheel.

who's OUR TEAM?

Skylines vs World.. or

R33's vs R32's..  :(:D

You R32 guys have GOTBOOST running 13.7s, the R33 stockie team needs some revving up so we don't fall victim to every silvia that motors past. All the other R33's on the night were running mid 14's exept Rob77 he got a flat 14 from memory.

actually the weight in the boot may of helped the car squat more giving you better traction :(

you can't forget you diff kit, and refridgerated stock coola :D

great work. good to see another R33 in the 13's

Thanks mate.

In all honesty the extra weight in the boot probably did help a bit ( I had 3/4 or so tank of fuel too), the weight didn't help the poor clutch. But, really putting extra weight in your car to go faster is a bit wrong isn't it?

The diff kit is an interesting thing too , I have only got the back half installed. Due to my renowned slackness I couldn't be jiggered putting the front section in. It sure has improved things tho' none the less with only more potential to come if I install the rest.

The refridgerated ic I only switched on for the staging on the first and second runs, after that it was pretty cold anyway so I left it off. It was off for my 13 pass.

I'm sure you can get the time down at least 5-7 tenths with that MPH, more if you got DOT street racer tyres (should be 12s)

Cheers mate.

I still haven't got the concrete in the boot yet. How about you?

You machine should get some nice low 12's with all that new power you have, either that or a good 1/4 mile long burnout.:(

can you explain your "refridgerated" stock coola thinggo ? What the ?

-Kym.

Peltier with heatsink 'devconed' to the bottom of the stock ic.

It's pretty good at cooling between boosted runs. So much heat during boost I can't imagine its any good at improving the HP curve on a sustained run. It's quite handy during hot days like today to minimise heat soak.

WOW.. someone using PC cooling technology on car's ?

Nice work Rev.

How much did that little system cost ?

Roughly how big are the peltier's ? how are they affixed to the coola ?

This sounds like a TOP idea.... you have any pics ?

I think I covered it pretty well on the freehorsepower thread on the SDU forum.

The peltier is a highpower unit but, still only 4x4cm. Its stuck on the bottom plate with bits of metal putty.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
