Well Melbourne turned it on with another perfect night for dragging, cold and no wind.

1st, [email protected],

2nd [email protected]

3rd [email protected]

4th [email protected]

The 2nd and 3rd run where struggling for a bit of traction but overall im very impressed with the results. MPH is looking quite strong. Not bad for a small baby 2530 turbo and street tyres.

Funny you said that as there was a nice blue R34 GTR running 13.1 and 13.2 @106mph. Must have been stock as these are stock times for a GTR

We have a stocker in our stable, it ran 12.3....exhaust, boost controller and power FC (running base map) sh1t tyres though. Hoping to break into the 10s at Drag Combat with our no.1 car though.

Exhaust, boost, power fc, = Stock, mine must be a stock GTST then :Bang:

catback,boost control and plugged in untuned ECU. thats all. Stock engine,stock turbos,stock AFM,stock intercooler,stock fuel pump and injectors,stock cams and cam wheels, stock airbox and filter, its even got the factory oil cap!!...as far as im concerned a stocker is a car with cat-back and boost control, as this is generally how we see them off the boat! To some people this combo spells "highly modified"....not in my books.

Damn thats impressive - the first and only time i'v ebeen to the strip i was running 12.4@112mph - so your gtst is pretty much as quick as my GTR!!! You must be getting off the line bloody quick!!

Although that was at heathcote and traction was crap that day i was axle tramping all the way through first and into 2nd... until i blew my gearbox :)

Interested to hear what your 60ft time were

I i punch out between 112-114mph and my car would weigh 50-70kg less...just need to forget conservation and hook up first and get stuck into 2nd.

Good work on the times...i was only saying last night to a friend that his old 2530 setup was awesome on his RB25:)

What is the go with the boost you are running, do you find that at the top end boost trails off?

Im getting 19psi in the middle, by 6000rpm its down to 16psi and then its down to around 13.5psi at about 6500rpm. Probably showing why my max power is at 5,700rpm as the boost drops off. My power graph is very funny, from 5000rpm onwards you draw a straight line accross and it moves up and down 5rwkw if that.

Ive learnt that you dont rev this bugger, im upchanging just over 6000rpm which maybe a good thing. Wouldnt mind trying a bigger turbo to see if i get much more top end.

I have a copy of my boost curve on a spreadsheet, i'll post it up.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
