I doubt that he didn't get into top gear. I hate it when a car does a great time and then people say, "it wasn't on full boost", "the clutch was slipping" or it missed a gear".

excuse if i seem rude but please quiet in the cheap seats and shut up.

i was there and i saw the run in person so believe me when i say he didnt get into top gear and he did back off.

and was far from a perfect run.

to be perfectly honest i was dumfounded when i saw 7.92 on the board as i thought it didnt look as fast as sum of his previous 8 second runs.

The man himself said he didn't get into top gear - they don't have a reputation of talking shit (maybe this is common in Oz???).... 256kph trap speed when they usually run 270+ is an obvious sign. Apparently they are working on what went wrong with the box with the intent of running tomorrow. I guess that will clear some stuff up??

They've already done an 8.033 @ 172mph already - so no matter what way you look at it, a solid seven second pass is inevitable... if not now, with the new motor.

The car has already run a 7.9@162MPH (backing off).

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
