i dont think anyone takes to kindly to loosing.  

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

Well I don't think that's the right attitude :mad: I think you should be driving straight to your favourite workshop and asking them what your next mod should be, so you can kick that guy's ass the next time you see him (at Eastern Creek of course) :uh-huh:

No-one takes kindly to losing, but calling him a wanker and accusing him of running NOS when you have no idea what modifications he's done to his car is a little over the top IMHO.

As others have said, the "sleeper" look is very popular these days with guys who don't want all that extra Police attention... I guess you're just one more he can chalk up to his ":Owned: List" :thumbsup:

I’d be wary of green 200sx’s. I know of 3 that look mild but pack a punch. One even had a avo stage 2 cooler that I couldn’t see in broad daylight (I shit you not) plus a 400hp garrett with the 0.6 a/r housing that you couldn’t pick. Chuck on a nice dual muffler jap exhaust with the stock looking tips plus the fuel system/ecu you couldn’t see and there is your 230rwkw 200sx.

Very sneaky customers…

Exactly why the disrespect for NOS users? It's a power adder, functions by stuffing more oxygen and fuel into the chambers, just like a turbo. It has to be set up right, just like a turbo. If you use enough of it you have to build your engine specifically for it - just like a turbo.

Maybe you need some :D

Well technically, what happens is the nitrous oxide breaks up under the heat and pressure into nitrogen and oxygen, hence the oxygen; and the cooling is a welcome side effect. Also unless you are using a "dry" system (shudders) the nitrous system will add enough fuel so that you don't run lean.

I don't use it BTW, I just don't despise it like a lot of people seem to.

Cheers

I can get him off the mark but thats it.

I never race....

Unlike some crazy old men. MRE your the burnout master.

My turbo doesn't kick in until 4000rpm. So it bogs down off the line.

MRE, your car is pretty stock. Does damn good burnouts too.

My car wouldn't be very quick down the 1/4 mile. Last time I run CTH15 (red rx7) I could just pull away from him. He ran a high 10. But his car is setup for the 1/4. Gets off the line really well. GTS32 (black r32 gtst with rb26), thats very fast of the street, yet not very good on 1/4.

Even Rodneys Gold supra has beaten subzero try09 on the street. That dupra would be lucky if he got a high 12. But Rod cheats, Try-09 runs out of gears and the dupra just keeps going.

Yep thats my point.

Many cars are set up in different ways.

I think he just had a run in with one that was running a Big Turbo and it just took him a bit get the mumbo down.

I saw "Rodneys Gold supra " in action last Saturday night.

Wheel spining @ 100+..............:burnout: Serious mumbo :)

hehe little trick to that. Personally I don't try it cause I'll end up around a pole. Put the clutch in, Rev ya car to 6500rpm while doing 80km/h Change to 2nd or 3rd. Drop ya clutch.. Tell me what happens :)

I did that along smith street one night.. Was showing a mate what rod does. Never again!!! Arse of the car just went completely sideways.. Lucky there was no one next to me, or any parked cars.

      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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
