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.

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
