I was down in shellharbour last night visiting a mate, and on my way home this guy ina 200sx decided he want to have a race. I powered off the line to get a 2 or 3 car lead, after 70 or so metres, he just went past me like i wasnt moving, this thing was standard, no zorst nothing

anyone got any ideas, or who it was im sure he must have had nos or something like that.

Feedback would be great

Maybe he just wanted to make u feel like u had chance before he gave it to you on a plate ? Many people take off slow due to not wanting to just smoke the tyres. Who knows what he really had under there or how the boost or turbo was set to kick in. Prolly just dual stage BC. Probably not NOS

200sx beating a skyline is nothing amazing.

With just more boost they go very well. The exhaust could be aftermarket just not stupidly loud. My exhaust is close to stock quietness for instance and still flows well.

There doesn't need to be much done to get the 200sx to get a low 13.

I'll agree with you there Rev .... I work in an office where three of the guys own S15's .... one stock .... one with only a zorst ... another with zorst, FMIC and Bleeve Valve running a tad over stock.

I'm a little bewildered by the story though I'd assume the 200sx would still be quicker off the line due to it's weight advantage. My car usually kicks in about 4500 and I'll have a bit of catching to do against the last of those three cars.

Out of interest XXE ... did you catch this guys plates ?

NOS on the street = wanker

You got owned

You think NOS

You say wanker?

No offence.

But my guess is he had a big ASS turbo.

It does not take much to hide a Front mount.

Just because the tip looks stock does not mean much.

I have seen a few 200sx that are cops off the mark but once moving they move.

One that comes to mind around Brisbane is one with the number plates 5TOCK. Looks stock but eats most cars I have seen him run.

I can get him off the mark but thats it.

Jimbo,

no sorry mate didnt get to see the plates, but im still curious, it was a green 200sx, around a 95 model i think, i mean hats off to the guy, he beat me fair and square. I was in front then bam i was history he just flew past me.

very quiet car, except when he went past me it went wooshhh and went quiet again.

MRE this thing didnt have a front mount trust me

good on the guy he ghas great car that can keepu p to most, my skyline is running 11psi, zorst big filter, makes good for about 180kw

XXE-R32: I trust you are aware that some people do go to lengths to hide modifications, to retain the sleeper image, prevent attention from the boys in blue etc.

Its very possible that a the car had a FMIC (Painted black) and also a full exhaust with a quiet (yes its possible) rear std looking muffler.

If it really was a sleeper then it certainly worked on you :uh-huh:

And especially considering that it was night, it would have been hard to see. It's like the R32 and 33 GTR coolers, I could hardly see them even during the day unless I had a good look :uh-huh:

i dont think anyone takes to kindly to loosing.

But as i alwasy say you have to learn how to lose b4 you learn how to win.

If i ever see this car again, i will be sure to be more careful, infact i dont think i will ever drag again.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.

      Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
