Bit harsh Andrew :D, i ran a 13.4 with my car and i am absolutely shit at drag racing. (Std turbo and engine, on my 19's)

I'm beting a 13.01, just to piss off Troy :), and to back up the initial bet we had btw us. I will try and be there and will probably help Shivam trailor his car there, if he still wants to.

:D heh i'll come down and show ya's all up with my 10 second car...getting the underbody neons installed this week, and i bolted the NOS in over easter :)

but in all seriousness i might come down and have a look/drive.

*cough* Drag is for commonwh0res *cough* :)

Is that all? lol

hehe no offense to you or you car at all... went to the drags with my mate in his GTST which runs 250rwkw, std injectors but has a power FC and a good tune... he ran around a 13.4@110mph i think... but had a lot of trouble with traction

i'm guessing if you have a good launch in you may be able to break into the 12s... but since its going to be your first time there and all, i'm guessing for a mid 13 :cheers:

Good luck!

Big thanks to Al, he carried my tools with him, bought me food, and put up with my dribble and excitement... RB20 POWAH!!!!!

I thought i would have been stoked to brake into the 12s, and a 12.9 just counts so im stoked. Best run ET wise a 12.9 @ 112mph with a 2.2 60ft time. My best mph was 114mph but i farked it up with a 2.4 60ft.

I had a ball...and once again big thanks to Al, it was goot to be able to share my excitement with someone:thumbsup:

lol..yeh, its a shamble at the moment...had a BBQ at a Winton track day, then kissed a tyre at a drift day...It was down hill from here:(

But things are looking on the up and up:) When my new carbon bonnet arrives its all going into the panel shop so should once again look pretty neat:)

As for the exhaust note...thanks, I love the sound of my thing, its the cars redeaming feature.:)

Should have come up and said hello, maybe next time:thumbsup:

LOL...2.2 60 ft with 234/40/17s semi slicks:( I aint the man. I need muffin man or you to get the car off the line for me:)

I fear im becoming a drag queen....i really enjoyed last night, more then i ever though ti would...it was way better then that grifting caper i did 2 weeks ago:thumbsup:

Will be back in 2 weeks with boost wound up to 18psi, I'll try building i bit of boost with the handbrake and see if i can get a 2.0sec 60ft time. I doubt ill be able to. But no im mega keen to try and get a 12.5 @115mph...just need way more practice off the line...:)

    • 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.
