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 :)

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
