Any other Skyliens running?  How does the mph compare to the std turbo times?

I was the only Skyline running against a mob of LS1's. Heathcote in May should be interesting if we can get a group to go up as it will be same day, same track.

WIth the stock turbo, the best i managed at Heathcote was a 13.09@105 with a 2.09 60'.

Tyres are Sumituno's HRZ 11, 255/40/17, wouldnt mind trying RE55 or the new Toyo's. Will have the burn these ones up first though

12s!

Congrats on running 12s - its a good feeling - my previous 2 cars did and it feels goodd!

Im aiming to get my series II 33 running stock turbo into the 12s,its got an ARC front mount,jap Rom and a few other goodies, i rekon It can do it easy. Ive had quite a bit of practise at the strip. Ive seen guys with modded 33s ie. turbo etc that cant pull low 13s even!! You have to know how to launch the car and how to set it up for the race, ie. warming tyres, tyre pressure etc.

Nice times Robo. :(

How were the LS1's holding up?

Hard question, they ranged from blown to turbocharged, some serious cars there and alot running quick times. Still i beat a lot. If i had some decent tyres and more attraction, i would certainly show a few more up.

If i had some decent tyres and more attraction

They'd be the tyres you've got under it then? :(:)

My standard turbo 33 gtst went 12.7 @ 108mph late last year with numerous 12.9's and 12.8's in trying to get there.

Nice times Robo. :(

How were the LS1's holding up?

it was a shit weekend, a few decent LS1's there.

A fair portion nothing wonderful. For the LS1 nats i was dissapointed to see a turnout which in would call average

Robo's... i say your car, but there wasnt anyone near it the times i went past it.

I was there with Rossco and his purple 32 GTR.

Only did a 11.02 :) so sad.

Poof diff broke just after half track and just missed the 10 lol.

Lets do a Skyline Nats or some sort of skyline drag event. Would be nice to run some other skylines but since ive owned it (2 years) theres never been one organised. Hopefully the one next month (Datsan, Nissan) event might attract a few.

Last dyno session we picked up another 8rwkw with some extra boost which bought it to 225rwkw at 5700rpm. Now this is on a Dynomite dyno which the owner from experience running back to back against a dyno dynamics dyno reads 6.7% less. So putting this back into the calculation, it should be around 240rwkw on a dyno dynamics dyno. Boost at the moment is just over 19psi.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
