Hey guys

Tonite went down to calder as a last minute decision, Big thanks to Brisby who helped me with helmet and getting my car ready!

First run ran a 13.1 @110 mph, then ran a 13.0 @ 110 mph.

Then I ran a 12.9 @ 111 mph with 2.1 60 fts. Then ran a string of 12.875 @111 mph.

Final Run ran a SS ute and assasinated it with a 12.822@ 111 mph. 2.0 second 60 ft. Ran about 10 passes and won every one of them with consistent 12.8s! I was reallly happy and pleased with the result!

Its not bad for a STOCK DUMP PIPE AND STOCK CAT fitted car. It was close to a 12.7 so if I put a split dump and highflow cat on it, run about 15 psi, shud comfortably pull 12.7 with about 113 mph.

tops effort dude. gotta be happy with that. the dump will make a nice difference to the power and how it comes on, try and do it soon for some more zest. batmbl sells em for $400 which is a 3" split dump. id love to run 12 but i dont think it'll ever happen. jealous as :)

Hey guys

Thanks for the kind comments! I must get a dump pipe for the car, its essential!! High flow cat too should improve power as well!

There was another white R33 that I know of there tonite, GT2540, powerFC,all the usual with 240 rwkw and he was running on Mickey Thompson 15 inch FULL slicks - ran a 12.7 @110 mph.

The car was amazingly consistant, and damn quick considering whats done to it:thumbsup:

That poor owner of the other white GTST, it was his first go with mickey thompsons and the last minute clean up of the tune resulted in pinging which meant he wound ignition out of everywhere to try and stop it...that combined with the haywire final drive now because of the huge diameter mickey thompson radials...well the car was running slower then its previous times with old tune and road rubber. Poor owner must have felt as though he had been kicked in the teeth to go serious in the rubber dept and run slower:(

...and for gods sake get some tyres that smoke when you do 15sec burnouts:)

Think i saw a few runs of yours before you left, some nice times mate well done.

I was there for the first time last night and had a great time. Unfortunantly got there pretty late (7:30ish) due to work and traffic conditions etc but still got in 6 runs. Cant wait to get out there again and try improve my times.

Best time of the night for me was a 13.8 @ 107 with a 2.25 60ft time.

Best 60ft time for the night was a 2.17, however i think i rode the clutch abit too much cause it starting slipping in 2nd gear (i think, cant remember exactly was too caught up in the moment), ended up hitting rev limiter etc slowing me down and only managed a 14.0 @ 103. Ive got a brass button clutch so thinking it just got abit too hot and slipped??

All my runs ended up being in the high 13's area, hoping with a better 60ft time next time might be able to bring that down to mid 13's or perhapes slightly better! With a 107 trap speed that should be possible?

Was running 10psi all night, cooler, exhaust (stock dump), safc, ebc.

Had a mad time and cant wait to do it again, hopefully meet a few of you other skylines lads next time.

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
