My Before/After results: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...5010#post755010

Well I finally had my GReddy Ex Cam Gear (bought from www.nengun.com) installed (-4) at www.uniqueautosports.com.au yesterday and immediately noticed a difference. I noticed at the drags recently that my top end seemed to be flat and well the dyno graphs showed that. Kudo's to John, Adam and Ben at UAS. Just need to get my Clutch bits'n'pieces sorted out now and i'll be back at the drags aiming for that mid-high 13sec. Mods: RB25DET - 88,000km Standard ECU Standard Turbo Sports Organic Clutch (Daiken Exedy) FMIC (Micks Metal Craft) TurboXS Dual-Stage boost controller (not holding boost) 3" Front/Dump pipe (custom) 3" Cat (custom) 3" Cat-back (Nismo) Panel Filter (K&N) Bosch 040 Intank Fuel Pump GReddy Ex Cam Gear (-4) = 186rwkw Before/After

Is that for RB25DET or RB26DETT ?

Come and see me in 50yrs, i'd be happy if I was run over by a GTR at that age. Better than a heart attack or something else... Nice pics as usual Merli, but where are the ladies ?

Well hellooooooooooo Reneeee !!!

But at 500m you have reached the otherside of the island and have to turn around and go back

Well 1 guy was trying to buy it but John told him it wasn't for sale. I told him that at the 'right price' im sure it would quickly be for sale Are your tints legal ?

He might be suffering SBS ??? Haha I had to sit outside UAS all day today looking at Christians GTR

I'll be spending most of my day (any pay check) down at UAS tomorrow, here's hoping I get some good results

It doesn't, I've had my Exedy Sports Organic clutch in for around 10,000+ km now and it still shudders.Actually i'll be back at the shop tomorrow that fitted it getting new gearbox/diff oil along with checking out all the clutch hydralics just to see how everything is going. I've got a feeling that it won't last me till the end of '04 because I frequent the local drag strip (drop it from 3,500rpm around 10x per meeting).

My "personal" opinion (using 15 races as my own experience) is that if you are using regular street tyres then their is no point in doing a massive smokey burnout. A quick drop of the clutch to scrub the tyres (and remove the water) would be ideal but anything more and you are just wearing them out If you are using Nitto's or BF Goodrich then sure let it rip to get em nice and sticky.

I still disagree with this theory (to a certain degree). Take my car for eg; * Been on 4 different dyno's ranging from 180-203rwk (I believe its closer to the 180rwkw figure). * My best 1/4 is 14.1 @ 99mph with a 2.1 60ft (which is about 0.4sec off what i'd be happy with for my current mods), I have done a 14.2 @ 100mph too. Now using the data from my own "SAU 1/4 Mile List" (http://skylines.pnc.com.au) a 100mph pass is 'capable' of 13.5sec (thats a full 0.6sec quicker than what I am currently getting). So where is my 13.5sec? I'll tell you where, im not the worlds quickest driver and it shows in my time. So if my car got ~180rwkw on a dyno does that mean that the other r33 owner has more power than me? Does it mean he knows how to drive the car much better than me (thats what I believe it is) or does it mean he was on a better prep'd track than me? (his 60ft was 0.1sec quicker than mine). What if he was using Nitto's or Drag Radials and got a further 0.5sec quicker.. that doesn't mean he has more power than me it just means he has better grip than what I do allowing him to put the available power down better, but it still could be the same amount of power. Their is heaps more to drag racing than just what is under your bonnet: * Tyres * Temperature * Track Prep * Track condition * Driver The list goes on and on.... I think the whole "if you wanna know how much power you have go drag race it" has just as many floors (if not more) than what a dyno does. I believe I have enough data (in the R33 GTS-t section of my website) to prove that whilst mph is good, its not 'everything' to a quick time. Here's some more data: #5 = 12.4sec @ 111mph #8 = 12.6sec @ 120mph So which car has more power? Well #8 does but why did it do a slower time than #5? #21 = 13.5 @ 100mph #37 = 14.2 @ 100mph So which car has more power? Well they both crossed the line at the same speed but where did that extra 0.7sec go? #5 = 12.4sec @ 111mph #12 = 12.9sec @ 111mph So which car has more power? Well they both crossed the line at the same speed but where did that extra 0.5sec go? Now lets look at it the other way: #13 = 12.98 @ 113mph #14 = 12.99 @ 110mph #24 = 13.7 @ 100mph #25 = 13.7 @ 105mph So as you can see their is a lot more than just 'having the power' in drag racing to get you to the other end in the quickest possible time. Whilst 18mths ago I used to think that Dyno's are the be all and end all I now love Drag Racing and thats what im working on to gauge my cars power. If I spend $500 on my car and get 0.3sec quicker I know that either a) I have more power/torque etc or B) I learnt something new behind the steering wheel. NOTE: I'm not having a go at the people that say "Dyno's are a tuning tool, get on the drag strip" im simply stating that a drag strip is about as vague at measuring your engine power as what a dyno is; difference places will give different results.

email them to me ([email protected]) and i'll host em for you.

Will any of it be on TV?

tell us the price son ! Edit: Pics don't work.

I have it at home, i'll put it up on my website tonight/tomorrow as an extra mirror incase people are having issues with the skylinesaustralia.com server.

Last time I was at WSID I raced a VX Clubsport, for some unknown reason he didn't even make it past the 60ft line Bring it on :wavey:

Whats happening in Canberra? Detour to Fyshwick ?

:headbang:

I sent an email to Prestigue Motorsport asking about the quality of these cars etc and he subscribed me to a free 7 day trial to recieve emails of all the GTR's going for auction in Japan. I was subscribed to a 300ZX list a few months ago and lemme tell you that the emails/cars that 'everyone' recieves daily from Prestigue don't even come close to what is actually 'available'. I'll be getting around 15-20 emails a day, today they are all 1990-1994 GTR's. Of the 21 cars/emails I got today i'd happily take about 3 of them (as in their are about 3 that really standout in the pics where as the others just look average). The bidding on most of them 'starts' at about au$3,000. I think for about au$27,000-32,000 (landed and on road) a -REALLY- nice R32 GTR could be found.

Just a FYI: When you arrive: * Pay your $40 at the ticket booth. * Drive straight to the Scruitneering building and park in line. * Walk over to the Scruinteering building and grab the relevent forms. * Fill the forms out in your car whilst moving your car forward in the line. * Take the completely forms to the side window of the Scruinteering building. * Once completed keep moving your car forward in the line until you are scruinteered. Then your ready to race, sit in line for the next 1-1.5hrs until you get your first run

Thanks to the insight of a great day that I missed

Pretty smooth lap, a few small opposite lock instances but heck 2nd on the grid is pretty damn good with the car he has. Nose cam woulda been hell quicker !

Speaking of oil filters, I noticed this product at 'Jamboree' on Saturday.... http://www.mrtrally.com.au/performance/filtermag.htm I guess its pretty logical but comes at a price (meaning it could actually make a difference, or they are just cashing in on something that hasn't been done before).
