I went to dragstrip last night and managed dissapointing time of 13.8s, 109mph (175km/h)...car is r33 with bigger turbo (its T-57) making 347hp atw ON 15psi, and i expected at least low 13s...traction was shit 60 foot 2.478 sec, with shit trampio tyres at the back 18 inches 265 wide, tyre pressure at 40psi (stupid me checked today tyre pressure)...what do you reckon the car should do with this mph, and what launch methods u using, i managed best 60ft without much throttle at take off and whenever i upped the revs i couldnt do better time than 2.6 60foot...i noticed as well that gear stick was sticky on second run, i needed to push really hard few times to get it in third gear, still beat wrx hehe...what could the reason be? i suspect when car was brought here from japan while compliancing all the fluids have been changed except gearbox oil so it could be too old?

i have 225rwkw and got a 13.5 at 109mph... 60 foot 2.3 on 235/45/17

then the next week went back (same set up) and managed 13.1 at 110mph

then went back and got 12.71 at 111mph 60 foot of 1.93 on the same tyres...

just go back and practice...

by the way i launch at 6 grand

hope that helps

is that a 6000 dump or u let it ride a little

is that a 6000 dump or u let it ride a little

i ride it a little. best way to explain would be that i let the clutch go in one fluid motion over a period of about a second or a bit less.

don't hit the limiter it will die in the ass before you grab the next gear... your MPH indicates a mid to high 12 sec pass if you can get the 60ft time down to 2 flat...

I suspect your suspension setup to be at fault... common errors for drag are too stiff a rear suspension and too much neg camber at the rear as the car has been lowered? modern IRS cars don't like to be lowered or you will just fry the insides of your tyres... which is even worse with wide tyres... get some camber adjustment bushes should help get the beast off the line

i have a feeling if i had 50hp less i would have done better time

what revs is rev limiter at

suspension does feel stiff, its tein not adjustable suspension, no camber kit

it's all about the first 60 foot. 2.5 is way too high to be able to run a low13/high12. i am pretty sure it's just a practice thing. and lower your pressures to about 24 psi. that will help a shiteload :(

Dump the 18's get some sticky street tyres on some 16's,select correct tyre pressures,change over your susp for some 90/10 's pedders,take the spare and any thing else loose out of the car,i would lightly slip the clutch on initial drop, short change into second,dont drive to limiter in 2nd then give it all you have got in 3rd and hang on,drop into 4th if you need it.The biggest mistake every one makes is using too much 1st and 2nd gear these only result in excessive wheelspin- hence your slow 60ft times,3rd gear is the one that does the driving and you must get up into it as soon as posible!

Anyhow good luck with your future racing (remember is not the out right hp but the way in which you hook up! )

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
