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.

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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
