Thanks buddy....

I got a set of semi slicks last night so ill be heating those babies up!!!

Any tips??

I dont know, i havent ran mine yet those RA1's.

Give it plenty of revs, ease out the clutch and then slam those gears. I wanna see a 12.

Id love to see a 12... i know the car is capable, it will just be the driver that isnt!!!

Didnt have a very good night at all....

Ran a 13.8 best time and had about 12 runs!!

As stupid as it sounds i must have been backing off before the end because mid track i was really moving but by the end the numbers just didnt work out...

I ran another R33 a few times, only mods he had were exhaust, cooler, safc and .8 bar boost... pulling 190rwkw!

It was good to compare, here was one of our runs:

Me:

60ft 2.375

660ft? 85.41

Et 13.813

Mph 105.38

Him:

60 Ft 2.436

660ft? 78.35

Et 14.157

MPH 105.55

As you can see I had a better 660 ft? or 1000ft time not sure which one it was but he had a better ET.... it doesnt make sence...

That was a bad run for me, i had a best of 2.1 60ft and 660 or 1000 ft of about 87mph but the Et was never under 13.8 sec??

Any suggestions? I think im going to have to go down again soon and this time keep the power down after the time posts and beyond!

The car seemed drive fine and pull really hard... mid track it was really moving compared to other R33's....

Any help is appreciated guys..

Cheers

It was my first time and by the time i realised i may be backing off short it started to rain... so i guess i wont know till i run again which will be soon!!! but im positive i could see the time flash before i backed off...

Then again i didnt keep an eye on the boost guage so who knows, it may have been a boost problem!

Anyway, ill have to wait and see on the next Calder trip!

With 105mph, it doesnt seem like you were backing off. 105 is good for very low 13s or high 12s...

60ft time seems to be your problem considering you were using slicks. Practice your launches :D

105 isnt bad but i was running another R33 GTST with stuff all mods and he was getting higher ET's... the figures dont add up as he only has 190rwkw and i have 244 rwkw!! surely my ET would blow him away even with a worse 60ft time... i also had a better 60ft time and got a 13.8 where he go a 14.1 and his MPH was still better!

Mid track my Speed way quite a bit higher than his and by the end he was just faster than me... so there is either something wrong with the car or i was backing off becasue i was redlining every gear....

I would have expected a mid 12 with a good 60ft and at least a 110mph pass...

It was my first time and was great fun so im going to head down soon to get me that 12 and learn how to launch her!

Definately you where backing off with 85mph half track, my best was 89mph half track and i finished with 113mph. I've done it before as it doesnt really show you where the finish line is as there are 3 sets of lights.

Might head down with you if you wait a few weeks and im planning on a real low 12 or even possible 11

yeah somethings not right seeing as my gfs soarer with nothing but a catback and pod ran a 13.8 and my R32 with stock cooler, stock engine and just 14psi, ecu tune and exhaust ran a flat 14... all with crappy street tyres.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
