Hey riggaP, what could be some possible causes of a low mph. I'm kinda suspecting that my boost may not have been getting to 12psi in higher gears. Could this be the problem?

:rofl:

Do you have any aftermarket engine management? If not it could be too much boost. The stock 33 ECU dumps shitloads of fuel when you start running more than 10psi. A piggy back is probably the way to go (ie SAFC etc). You should get more out of the coola too.

that was the 1st time i ran my car on the qtr mile and i got a best time of 13.8..

mods i have are: hks pod, exhaust (stock dump pipe), adj damping on rear suspension which i dont know what brand it is....

i ran with 225/50/r16 silverstones at 20psi at the back

and i need a new clutch to get better launches

Not a bad time for the mods. What 60' and mph where you pulling?

i'll type out the time slip just cos i cant scan it at the moment

(im on the right btw)

Reaction Time: 0.9781; 0.7493* (time diff 0.2288)

60ft: 2.3315; 2.4162* (time diff 0.1441)

330ft: 5.9634*; 6.2632 (time diff 0.0710)

660ft: 8.9389*; 9.1797 (time diff 0.0120)

660ft mph: 84.76; 82.57

1000ft: 11.4674*; 12.7623 (time diff 1.0661)

ET: 13.5786*; 13.8082 (time diff 0.0008)

MPH: 107.71; Error

NB. * denotes leader

yeah well i didnt get a trap speed, and u can see the big jump between 660ft and 1000ft in the time differential, i thought itd be due to the stuffing up my 2nd to 3rd gear changes....

is the elapsed time wrong? if i didnt engage 3rd gear, that means my car would be roughly doing 100kph when it was time to go into 3rd, which i think wouldve ocurred between the 330ft and 660ft mark, but at the 660ft mark theres only 0.012sec diff

ah coool should be good!!

That last run pissed me off so much cos I had to race in the right lane - there was no bloody traction down that side, then after my tyre warmup they made us wait for so long - tyres got cool and just didnt hook up at all.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
