Tonite was an awesome nite out at the creek with quite a few GTR's, a few GTS-T's and many SAU spectators in the crowd. Me and VISHES got out to EC around 3/4ish and we were in the first few cars to run.

My results of the night weren't anything special. My best time was a 13.1 with a 1.9 60ft time. Last time out I managed a 13.2 with a 2.1 60ft time. What this tells me is that even though my 60ft is getting slightly better my ET is ONLY dropping slightly meaning the car is reaching its currently power potential. Also my MPH seems to be the same between 104-106.

Anyway was awesome. I had 5 runs all up. One I got fouled out. And 4 consistent runs around the 13.1/13.2 mark. I tried launches at 6500, 7000, 7500 and redline with a bit of clutch slip, dumps etc. I found the best method is to slip up the clutch a bit and then dump it. Totally just dumping the clutch at redline DOES NOT work hehe but being the last run of the night I had to try this brake frying technique.

VISHES ran 14's all night long until his VERY last run he cracked a VERY impressive 13.4! :) Very cool VISHES !!

Saw JUDD there but don't know what he got? XCALBR (Black R32 GTR) ran low 13's like me all nite.... and there was another Black R32 with chromes with the plates GDZ11R.

Out of the 5 runs I ran 3 very fast rotors/V8's which were drag spec cars, also raced an E36 M3 which ran a 15.5 (bad driver?) and my final run was against the car formerly with the plates FEELDG... now with the plates GTR8U. He chomped me with an 11.7 run hehe...

My first run, I came up against a V8 Calais (REACTA) which side wayed so bad he posted an 18 second. That was the only victory I had as my other runs considered of 10 second Rotaries!!!!

I tried to transfer my street launch technique to the drag strip. Which didn't work!!! In my last run, I tried something unorthodox and came up short of upsetting Mr Yangsta!!!!!!! hehehehe

Overall I had fun and learned a great deal from dragstrip racing :)

Argh im sitting at home thinking "damnit wednesday night nothing to do i think i'll watch tv" (ended up at a chicks place) yet this time last week i couldn't wait for the EC Drags grrrrrrr. I've never ever seen a Skyline Drag at EC only those stupid Rotaries

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
