Guest sir_GTR

Thnx Matt :D

umm to be honest I haven't really stretched my car beyond 3rd gear yet :confused:

all my runs with other cars have been from standing starts and i usually ease my pedal well after 2nd gear (around 120k+/hr) ...never really hit 3rd gear (too afraid of speeding fines)

So i dont really know how fast i can get to with my 3rd before changing to 4th...Will i get to 4th gear with the 1/4 mile run?

sorry for so many *newbie* questions :bonk:

Andy,

Adelaide International Raceway is straight up Port Wakefield Rd heading out of town, you can't miss it on the left hand side.

It's ~$50 to run all up, for as many runs as you can fit in.

Yep you need an ADR approved helmet, & you must wear long pants/long sleeved shirt.

180km/h is ~111.85mph, which is a good enough terminal speed (TS) to run into the 12's with decent traction.

You probably won't hit the limiter before the finish line but you "may" before your terminal speed is read.

TS is an average of the last 30' of track before the line & 30' past the line (I think?) so your elapsed time (ET) won't be effected but if your going quick enough you "may" hit the limiter after the line in that 30' during the TS reading. Hope that made sense :D

On my last run (Nov01) I ran 13.1 @ 109.5, & from memory I backed off just after the line doing well over 180km/h, I probably would've got a higher TS if I'd kept my boot into it a touch longer :(

My car when stock (or close too) hit the limiter @ ~190+km/h so I think you'll be fine :)

WTF? How did my post end up after yours Andy? Oh well never mind:)

Fire away with the questions mate I'm happy to help if possible :)

Yeah you'll need 4th just before the line, unless the 8k rev range of the RB26DETT can get you over the line in 3rd? It might be worth asking the GT-R guys who drag race their GT-R.

All,

Something to keep in mind for drag strip first timers. The AIR drag strip is totally different to launch on compared to the average set of lights! You'll need more rev's off the line @ AIR or you "will" bog down badly :mad: It's a huge shock to feel how quickly your car takes off (or feels like it is) on a grippy VHT prepped surface :mad: Big rev' launches also put more strain on the drive train due to the lack of wheel spin that a road surface would normally reduce!

Hey Guys,after going to the drags sunday i was thinking that we should go to the next meet where hopefully Johns R33 GTR will be there to crack the 9`s.We can be like the support racing to the main event.We can go out and have some fun aswell as support John to hopefully a record run.

We`ll have the best tuners in Adelaide(TILBROOKS) out there so we can nag em(only joking Martin).

LETS GET AS MANY SKYLINES OUT THERE AS POSSIBLE.

I have atleast 3 CAMS/ADR approved helmets that i can loan.

all i want to know is when is the next meet?

Matt

I'd be up for that. I think that from memory that the street meets are on the first weekend of every month. It would be cool to get a dozen or so Skylines out there. Now I just have to get my clutch sorted.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
