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.

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?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
