190rwkw is very different to 250rwkw+

Mainly because the size of the turbo required to achieve the larger numbers makes power delivery a lot more sudden, which isn't conducive to traction...

You also get a LOT more torque, which just seems to want to fry tyres...

I was wondering about the extra weight thing actually. For my run a few weeks back I chucked the spare (but kept maybe 20kg of my tools in the back :), but I was thinking a bit of extra weight in the back was probably not a bad thing to get the traction to the ground.

I mean I could chuck all my door skins, back seat, and whatever else i could find off and maybe save 100kg - wondering whether that would be a help or a hinderance in a skyline.. guess it wouldn't be "street trim" then really would it.

Guys: Would i get better traction with my stockie Simex 225/50R16's (95% tread) or current Falken RE326's - 235/45R17s (95% tread) on the rears??.. they have same rolling diameter.. Would the Simex let down to say 18psi be a better option due to greater sidewall flex?

I think my car can get a possible 13.5 but i'm not sure.. i really got wrap all that piping to stop heatsoak and some slight pinging i get once she warms up ;)

well i will be taking my car soon out to willowbank and hopefully i'l do a 12second pass, in its current tune its made 360rwhp @ 18psi, boost kicks in hard at 5000rpm and revs to 7500rpm... just not sure how the st tyres will hold up as it wheel spins 1st 2nd 3rd on the st with 18x285x40

gord... go the simex and let them down to 18-20 like you said.

you'll be laughing.

your car sohuld get mid 13's easily.

RNS-11Z - your car should run just that 11's!

not 12's. your making nearly double what i've got and my car is good for a 13.5 with fuel pump

Don't shoot me but isn't that just completely dumb? By the time you hit boost your already 1/2 track, then you finally hit it and spend the next 2 gears in wheelspin.

What tha??

well benn its made a maximum of 566.7rwhp on 38psi it now has been detuned to 18psi and rev limit set to 7500rpm though it can be reved past that with ease. so in actual fact no i dont think its dumb. the car wasnt built for low end power or circuit racing it was built for 1/4mile racing and top end power

Why has it been detuned so much? That's ridiculous.

At less boost, mine makes more power, and comes on hard at 4000rpm and redline set at 8000rpm.

With a turbo like that, with such a useless powerband for anything but drag racing, you'd better turn the boost back up and make use of that 2500rpm "happy zone"...

Also, going by this website: http://www.rigoliracing.com.au/r33gts-t.html

It still has stock rods, so I can't see you raising the revlimiter too much more past 7500rpm, perhaps 8000rpm. I wouldn't say "rev limit set to 7500rpm though it can be reved past that with ease" at all. 7500 is already past stock redline for those conrods.

With that peak power figure, you *should* be good for high 11s, but I'm predicting a mid-high 12 on street tyres.

well not all the mods are listed on the site + i de-boosted it because the car will be driven alot, almost every day, i also set the rev limiter for the same reason as i dont need to rev it past 7500. also the car wasnt built for 300rwkw it was built for 600rwhp and for 1/4mile racing. yes if i put a smaller turbo on it and aim for 300rwkw i will be getting boost earlier and for alot alonger and thats why you probably make more power then me on less boost. how ever i will be doing some changes on it aswell still yet to come

ok well back to my car's journey to 12's.

I ranit on the SST dyno today to see what the heck was going on with the ping thing and we got 230rwhp at about 4700rpm,the afr was high 9 and there was very little timing on it.

suspect 1 cylinder is to blame for ping due to the ultra rich afr. I'll have to get the injectors cleaned and try again. Doh!

mine pings after heavy use due to suspected heat soak from my piping before combustion (well that is what my tuner said :D )...you got it all wrapped? ..i assume u probably have already but worth a mention.

Predator666,

the issue is with one or two pots running lean. I'll know when I take the plugs out tonight. The afr I have heat soak or not is not going to allow pinging. The Timing is also very conservative.

My pipes intake and exhaust were well wrapped ages ago. Thanks for the input tho' :D

i put a 16 inch davies craig thermo on my skyline. it fits nice in the original shroud and looks neat. the original shroud also assists in pulling more air through the whole radiator, not just the 16" face of the fan. i mounted it on some blocks to raise it off the radiator about 1cm so it can drag air from more of the radiator surface. i used some special zip tie things that poke through the core to the other side and secure with a washer on the other side. works well. good luck with yours

Hey Matt, can you give me a bit of info on the new clutch?

My one decided it'd had enough last night (ran at heathcote) and forced me to stop running earlier on into the night.

I ended up with a 12.38 @ 123.45mph with a 60 ft of 2.35secs. I wasn't able to boot it till 3rd gear which was holding back my times too.

Andrew,

             My car has the same power delivery as yours & R31Nismoid’s.  

As you said, it's very tricky to launch. I've had the same problems. Dump @ 3-3.5k & it bogs down. Dump @ 4.5+k & it hooks up for a sec, then blazes the tyres. I've yet to be able to do the, "clutch slip feed power on launch", as the old clutch gave up the ghost at the slightest hint of me slipping it :P  The new clutch is up to the task no prob. Just need to practice on the strip now.      

   

Yeah I knew the 540's weren't the greatest drag rubber (stiffest sidewall R compound there is!). I got them as they're well priced over here in Adelaide (paid $280 - 235/45/17 & $310 - 255/40/17) & they're great on the street.      

I've got a contact for 555R's - $425 for 275/40/17

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
