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...:)

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
