13.4 second 1/4 for your 'stockish' R33. (A how to guide).

i crossed the line at 8k, and engine came off power badly. thats the way i got 13.872.

but if i shift into 4th it should be much better. i didnt mean for it to go to 8k.

whenever i changed to 4th i would get a 14.2-14.5

maybe i should imporve my shifts. (4th gear grinds) i need lighter oil.

8,000rpm isn't as healthy as 7,000rpm. If you aren't making power at 8,000rpm why rev it there and cop the extra wear?

At sustained revs beyond 6500rpm the standard pulley ratios will cause the water pump to cavitate.

Looks like a waste of time to me, hardly bigger just get a FMIC, I know your against it REV but someone already beat you to a 12sec pass with a stock turbo using a FMIC so they can't be all that bad with the stock turbo.

I ran a best ET of 14.4 yesterday @ heathcote.. Only had about 4 runs to try a few things unfortunately as it was pretty busy. Track was rain effected, so not sure whether that brought times down.. None of the other 5 SAU cars there could get under 15 for a stock(ish) car. Its not easy - not many VIC GTS-T guys are getting into the 13's with the stock ECU/turbo combos at all???

Tried 225/50's on stock 16" rims.. Didn't make much difference as far as i could tell as to traction..next time i will just use my street 235/45 on 17"s...

i noticed u were getting really bad launches and all of your runs 2.

wheel spin sux.. got aftermarket suspension, pineapples, and reasonable street tyres (ok, not the best, but should be enough) - not sure what else i can do to be honest.. I was getting 60' of 2.5's or so which isn't great.. even if i can knock that down to a low 2s if i got a good launch (damn helmet - can't hear shit), thats still only a 0.4s gain and only going to get me into high 13's..

After 2nd well just floored it and banged it into each gear right on 6,500 as quick as possible and foot right back to the floor .. to me they seemed like perfect changes - not sure whether i can do anything to improve that part?

I tried a bit of changing into 2nd at lower revs (5000rpm).. didn't seem to help - u just lose the speed which counters the increased traction.

Hey, I got a 14.7 before the rain kicked in [again] :)

I basically lost 1st gear to wheelspin on my 14.7 run which had a 60ft of 2.63 - this was my only run with traction control ON!

Surely the GTR-700 can do a better time than low 9's with a TS of 164.9mph? ~ I am suggesting all times were slow due to the rain-drenched track. They should have cancelled the meet but I dont think they wanted to lose the money :rolleyes:.

my quote from another thread:

my best of 14.7 is not exactly the car's potential IMO, but a bit more respectable than my first 2 efforts: 19 and 16.97 ha ha!

I think starting with a wet track was never going to be an easy task - my drag strip driving methods will be improving [i already know how to drive the car on the street].

I am a bit pissed off about the rain / times really but the day was good and the support / enthusiasm from everyone was great! thanks.

we have some good video footage too - online soon!

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
