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.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
