I had a great night at wsid last night even though I only got 3 runs in before being told to get a super street license. I was driving the Midnight Purple R32 GTR with ZILLA plates.

My times were:

12.036 @ 114.05 mph, 1.858 (60')

11.981 @ 115.81 mph, 1.858

11.946 @ 113.34 mph, 1.822

I achieved these times using average quality and condition street tyres and running the car in full street trim including same boost I use on the street (19psi).

Some mods include:

R34 N1 Turbos

PFC

Twin plate clutch

Happy to now own a TRUE 11 second street car !! :D:(

Hi BU5TER, yeah i live not far from steves shop and i was getting some work done on my old pintara when i noticed your car there. Your motor looks very impressive, cant wait to see it run. Had a good chat to Steve about it.

un_majstk, I cant realy tell u what it cost as most of performance gear was already on the car when I bought it. I have spent most of my time and effort painting it.

I was there but can't remember a midnight purple gtr... did you run up against a gunmetal grey r32 gtr (which I think blew an IC pipe on 1 run) ?

Yes quite a few r32's there on wed nite including 1 that was for sale:

1992 R32 GTR

'HKSGTR' nsw plates

~160,000km (not aware of any rebuilds and had the car for 2yrs)

Gunmetal Grey (2wk old respray)

PWR Radiator

Splitfire Coils

Std FMIC (with HKS written all over it)

PowerFC + H/C

A few gauges

~360rwkw

~$30k

Aftermarket rims

Redline engine/gearbox/diff oils

Very neat inside and out

0402772703 if anybody wants to call him

It was his first time there with the gtr, his best from memory was 12.0 and was doing pretty consistent 12.4's @ 110mph with very average launches (1.8-1.9 but bogging down).

The VL had a set of brand new tyres and the driver wasn't going to stop until either the engine or the tyres blew. The Nissan engine did well. :rofl: Definitely the longest burnout I have ever seen. It was done in memory of his younger brother who passed away at 16 last month.

If you didnt see me that may be because I was finished all 3 of my runs by about 7.15, so we then parked the car and sat and watched. Didnt want to buy the super street license as I achieved my aim for the night and iam a bit short on cash atm.

ECR033, yeah mph was a bit down on last run. I think this may be because I hit the limiter in first. I gave it a few more revs on that launch and it surprised me how quick 2nd gear was needed.

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
