Okay guys, who has dragged rexes and do we beat them or not.

I am going for in mainly stock standard form here. I am dragging one next week stock standard VS my stock standard, we got slightly more power similar torque but weigh alot different.

Do you think I am going to get to the limiter first or the rex.

Then i know I can shoot my mouth off before hand. and yes I can drive well no slow ass shifting and letting revs drop etc. BOTH CARS ARE SCARY STOCK STANDARD MONSTAS, lol

thanks blokes.

hmmff, i would never drag on public roads, hehe

yeah thats what i was thinking strich9 cos, the last one i went up against I was at the limiter first, but i wasnt sure if it was due to poor driving or what.

better get that octane booster cranking hey

thanks for da help.

I think driver ability will have a bit to say. Make sure you do an ecu reset. Although alot of people dont believe in ecu resets, after traffic driving for a while, my car used to run out of puff at 6000rpm, resetting the ecu and she would pull to redline.

EDIT: If all things are equal, the 60' of the wrx will probably make life very difficult for you.

I have dragged heapsss of standard wrx's and havent lost yet and my car is stock standard and auto they get about    a quarter of a car length of the line but as soon as you both have traction the skyline just bridges the gap and eats the rex top end ay

your car isn't stock? What about the bleeder ad exhaust?

from what i've seen even lightly fiddled gts-t's pull 14's.. i dont think a bog stock gts-t will scare a wrx.

The stock R33 GTST does a 14.2, not on a real drag strip but then again none of the times for production cars are on real drag strips they are usually on a street type surface. This puts it in the hunt for the "bug-eye's" as new, but then again 4wd and the fact that the RB motor will have done more km's makes the WRX a favorite.

Not long now Ryan

Then you can all take turns.

Compared to my brother in laws stock GTS-t and my initial impression of the WRX...the WRX will absolutely blitz a GTS-t off the line even with the 'line getting an ideal launch. The line would overhaul it eventually but probably not before the 400m mark..

My old R33 went up against a WRX at Kwinana and took 350m plus to draw alongside. My car wasn't stock and was running in the 13.8's that night from memory.

Cheers

I've driven a Tommy Mak EVO IV and they are sensational.

I'd have one in an instant but at $38k drive away for the WRX or $70k for the EVO it's no contest I'm afraid.

All performance cars have their strengths and weaknesses. I enjoy driving anything that the manufacturer has tried to put performance and soul into...even dunnydoors so I wouldn't knock any of them.

yes, my point is, if mitsubishi had continued with the GSR style cars and brought in the evo's as subaru did with the wrx's it would be a differant culture car wise here. Evo's are more popular in japan and i can see here a great evo vs wrx rivarly akin to that of holden vs ford etc. :D

I was talking about when my car was stock about 3 or 4 months ago, I dont think anyone with a 3 inch exhaust from the turbo back is stupid enough not to realise it is a substantial mod, and as with the bleed valve or why else would they bother? :lol:

Thanks peeps,

I guess i will just have to bite the bullet and give it a go.

The car is stock apart from an air filter pod, which i did recently. i cant really see too much difference that it made cos there is no partition etc. so it is probably a negative thing i have done, lol

anyways the whole point of this so called drag was to see who gets to 180 first. no 1/4 mile etc etc. if I hit 180 and he is behind then its done and done no dramas, rematches or arguments. I didnt have much hope of 1/4 mile cos I figured that the rex would get me with the launch.

i think it is a 1998 rex and i got a 1996 line with pretty low (doesnt look dodgy) kms so it should be fun. I am interested to know probably update yall on wednesday.

dragged this v8 ute the other nite. falcon xr8 about a 1996 also. it went pretty hard but i beat that, though it was only till all the traffic got in the way at about 150.

no summoner it wasnt a holden so feel free to diss away

hmm anyone know how long it takes to fit a bleed valve. any idea on brand versus ease, versus can it be done by wednesday

let me know and then maybe i can just feel confident that i cheated but still won

woohoo

hey another thing. there is an HKS actuator that you can get its around $250, and it raises the baseline boost level apparently. so any other mods you do will only increase the boost on top of that, apparently ups it to about 11 from 7 or something. and it is HKS so i spose it can be trusted.

if anyone knows about this let me know, though thats not gonna make it by wednesday

thanks again guys

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
