plex 15th


Recommended Posts

I changed to 4th on the last run but to be honest the mph and ET was pretty much identical to comparable runs earlier in the night.

As long as you dont shift like a person without arms it isnt going to adversly affect you times whether or not u shift to 4th. I think the gearing must compensate for the time lost shifting gears?

Hi Guys,

All Rhino did was remove the restrictor for the boost. The thing hammered, it was very impressive to watch, and on a relatively stock car. Hat's off, he showed that the 6's aren't slow after all.

RB20LagWagon ended up with a 13.03, never quite managing to break into the 12's but very close. He was consistantly in the flat 13's, but his clutch smells like it's on it way out.

rev210 I think got a 13.4, he did remove the shit out of his car though, about 200kg. I think this is a very impressive time for a stock turbo, well done. nice to finally meet you.

As for me, well it was a huge improvement from last week. I was consistantly in the 13's, nice for a change and ended up with a best of 13.5@104mph. I finally learnt how to launch my car and how to get some decent speed out of it. Still could go a few tenths faster, but the clutch took a hammering so I might give it a holiday for a week or two.

All in all a very good night, with most people pulling PB's.

See'ya :burnout:

RB20LagWagon,

So close yet so far. I doubt your clutch will take too much more punishment, might be worth a rebuild. Nice runs all the same, very consistant, and all that is needed is to string the 2.0 60' times with crisp gear changes.

See'ya:burnout:

How did the others go?

you were getting low 13s before what have you done?

If u say exhaust boost im going to slash your tyres hehe

And thus endeth the lesson on why people buy GTR's instead of spending more on a GTS-T.

Said it once and will say it again . For reliability , price and resale value , it's hard to go past a 32R. If ya wanta faster car, buy one the manufacturer made.

Cheers

13.4 was my best for the night. With a bunch of 13.5's following. A pretty good effort for my second trip down the plex. I did take about 100kgs of work gear out of the boot (thanks Miko for looking after it), but there was more weight in my back seat than my last trip down and more fuel, so I needed the help.

The elusive 2.1 60ft was reached again on a run where I stuffed up, namely on the change to second. More practice and I'll get it one day.

So the new stock ecu/stock cooler/stock turbo title is MINE!

oh, btw, my mate in a 180sx (auto) previous PB was 15.4'ish, consistant mid-15s before that, recently bought.

POD filter, Catback exhaust, bleed valve(11psi'ish) and some lowered suspension, total outlay of $1700'ish...

and ran a 14.80 (not bad for a mild-modded AUTO eh?)

I agree. Just because we actually have some skill to launch a rear wheel drive car off the line.

Take away gtr launch and you'll find we are right there next to the GTR's :)

I do think the track was better than usual, which may have led to the better times, but still quite an impressive effort all round.

gtrken, I was very impressed with a reasonably stock R32 pulling 12.4, if they weren't such a ugly car then I'd buy one. Flame on.:bahaha:

Macka, You should have come, I'm sure you would have got a legal 12 this time.

See'ya:burnout:

Works Auto,

Only reason it looks good to you is that you have an R32 GTS-t which is even uglier than the GTR, just joking.:)

One of the guys last night managed to drop shitloads of oil from his catch-can in the lanes, I don't think it was setup right, I think it was actually drawing oil throught the can rather than vapor.

See'ya:burnout:

Track wasn't that great IMHO. I'd say it has more to do with people getting the hang of things. There were quite a number of guys I spoke to who were miles away from their PB that night.

Gts-vspec : how many 2.4sec + 60ft times do you need to run before you say the track was not very good!(If it was I wouldn't have had as many almost 3 second 60ft times),

I so need some help there!

No.

I got one 2.1 60ft and one 2.2 the rest were all 2.4s and much worse. And as usual the 2.1 I stuffed up. Well I guess I do pretty good with only cheap'o 205's on the back.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
