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.

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.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
