Finally run a half reasonable time

12.1 @ 111mph

but i have a question... last time with 200rwkw i ran a 12.90 with 200rwkw or there abouts.

now im up around the 300rwkw.

My time has gone almost a second up, yet my MPH hasnt changed one skeric really. Any ideas why that is?

I made a nice 1.90ft, same as my old 12.9 run was.

So they were pretty similar, jsut the times changed :headspin:

At Heathcote i was running 12.7@111 and i have around the 235rwkw mark. What was your half track speed? Should be around 87mph. Something sounds a miss even with a 1.9 60'. Are you sure you werent shutting down just before the line, Ive done that before.

What mph was your 12.9?

12.1@111mph you must be getting of the line pretty quick!, i only ran 12.4@112mph when i went - and i have 4wd launch!

oops, it was 109mph, and id run 110/111 just for times of 13.00/13.10 etc

my 660ft times was 9.3/80.7 mph... i wasnt backing off thats for sure.

I kept my foot in right past the little white checkers :rofl:

i went easy on the launch as the cars just burns the tyres if i try a decent one

my 660ft times was  9.3/80.7 mph... i wasnt backing off thats for sure.

There is something wrong with that 660' time, your at least 1.0 off the pace and 8mph. Check it with your other runs at the 660' mark.

correction, stoopid a$$ me looknig at the wrong sheet

660ft was 8.00

mph/660 was 94.8=68

It has way more than it did wheni ran a 12.9, i seriosuly doubt there was another second in there back in its old form. I've changed nothing traction wise at all.

If anything the tyres are a bit older and crappier now than they were a year ago (12.9 @109mph/200rwkw)

I know the problem. :P

Well m yguess anyway is that the clutch was starting to struggle in the top gears, and what you though may have been wheelspin into 2nd nd maybe into 3rd was actually the clutch starting to give up...well perhaps a combination of both.

That night at Clader where you chopped me my clutch was getting worse with every run, by the end of th enight my mph had dropped 3-4mph when only running approx 200rwkws.

Anyway food for thought:)

with the power you claim your trap speed is way down might be an idea to run it up on a dyno just to double check maybe you have a problem ?. Your abit slow to the 660ft mark and you mph is down thing is your 60ft times aren't bad at all .

For whats it's worth I know my car is abit of a differen't kettle of fish but I have one of the slips here for a [email protected] and on that run went

660ft 7.837@91mph with a 1.8 60ft .

Also don't be fooled into thinking peak power dyno read outs are everything can you tell us abit more about the car and mods .

    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave. 
    • You'll fit right in. Acceptance is the first step.
    • Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
