I went down last night. The strip was cr*p in my opinion. Best i got was 14.1

Same with my mates Silvia who has got 13.6 before, couldnt crack 13s last night.

A few lines down there including a R33 GTST with GTR rims, kit and badges :P

And a white R34 GTT, with the worst bodykit i ever saw. The rear wing was terrible. (no offence just my opinion)

Oh and in the carpark was a R33 GTR N1....with plates [R33 GTR N1]

My suggestion is to wait until winter again. Unfortunately its 4+ months away, but hardly anyone turns up on the sunday day drag meets and the track will be heaps stickier cos hardly anyone is going down it. Every wednesday night drag, 3 times now, the track has been shithouse because 100+ cars are going down it and the sticky stuff just wears off. Last-time I went I had so much wheelspin and lack of traction from 1st to 3rd I almost had a close look at the concrete barrier (I think my tyre pressure was well above what it should be as well after the 3 runs I had done previously). So I think I'll wait to they start the sunday day drags again and go down with a tyre pressure gauge and a portable pump and let the rears down to ~20-22psi. Plus I'm sick of paying $30 to get in 4 or 5 runs, when the first sunday I went I got at least 16 runs.

I had 4 runs;

run1: [email protected]. 60' 2.449. 660' 9.323

run2: [email protected]. 60' 2.578. 660' 9.493

run3: [email protected]. 60' 2.466. 660' 9.467

run4: [email protected]. 60' 2.592. 660' 10.956

On the last run I crossed into the other lane and which time I took my foot off the accelerator and corrected the car and then put my foot back down. I'm sure its due to way too much tyre pressure on the last run and lack of sticky shit on track. Just prior to my 4th run some guy put his into the wall from the same track I was in. Rev210 ran 2 x 14.3's, then dropped his tyre pressure to 20psi and ran a 13.8. Our cars are reasonably simular in the way they are modified. So I'm gonna wait till sunday day drags again and drop the pressure and try again.

13.9 last run

mate lent some potenza race compound tyres traction was heaps better. but didnt seem to have the topend pull it had before.

back to drawin board in turbo department.

What boost are you running?

I have some experience with different turbo mixes PM me if u like

The Key is to keep what youve done on the comp side and hiflo the exhaust side I have T4 2.16 inch ex wheel but this is slightly too big as it looks like ive missmatched it and will need an external gate. Go between a T3 wheel and a vtrim T4 and should be sweet so u dont have to change dump or feeds by keeping same ex housing :P

So not quite in the 13s yet....

My 60' times are similar to yours but with a bit more power than yourself i have to look towards keeping her on the road..

Gonna have a bash next wednesday and see what i can do!

Why did u inflate your tyres again on the last one?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
