what are u kiddies on about - this is a Skyline forum not a kindegarten.. can you talk intelligently in any thread, I've seen ten year olds talk with more sense. You are giving Skyline owners a bad name. Is it possible to talk about Skylines rather than who is dicking with who??

actually... i was going to bitch.. but **** it i don't care.. speak crap if you want to, i don't have to read it :D

I'll have to do it soon, but i need mine tuned up first now i've got an EBC in.. might be a few weeks till that gets done.

I think mine should be capable of a low 13... possibly even into a 12 (for inark: i meant like 12.99 :D) if i can get a dream launch.

laws gtr does 12s so i would assume that the dream launch would have to be something very special

I did say, "into a 12"... in other words... 12.9 and i would be stoked. Anyway, just going on other people's cars and mods, who knows how mine will go..

hehe..well mine will be turned into slicks soon enough the rate i'm going :D

yes..well if i was realistic thinking 12's then it wouldn't be a dream launch, i would just be dreaming :D I gotta get a shitload of octane booster somewhere.. where can i pick that up from?

putting in octane booster aint gonna help unless u actually advance the timing with the octane boost in there or run more boost!

The timing has been advanced previously... I'm mainly basing a low 13 based on the thread below because mine is pretty similar specs + i'd be running 12psi (like it was running on high boost before my EBC). http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...=&threadid=9292

Anyway, I shall hopefully get everything tuned on the dyno at drdrifts dyno day in a couple of weeks and see whether the EBC has added any rwkw before i really bother dragging.

What have you run previously insasnt? Just curious?

theres sumthing else going on with revs car i recon, otherwise he wouldnt be able to pull 104mph with those basic mods even if he got a perfect launch!

Last time i ran i had 150rwkw and only got 14.5 at 98mph, axle tramp issues so i gotta get sum pineapples before going again!

nah i recons it posible ... my car was stock as a rock stock boost stock cooler stock every thing.. hasnt been servbice for 6000 and i ran a 14.1

i reco with the mods his got i could get the same as his.. if i wasnt spining like a bitch threw 1st and 2nd i recon i could have broken into 13's and the factor that it was 28 degree didnt help either...

so i recon its possible

14.1 to 13.4 what rev got is a huge difference!

yeh but mines stock..

as in stock nothing ..  

rev has done some work on it..

il do that work and il probly get da same as him..

only thing extra he has is exhaust and upgraded flywheel!

and that time was at motorplex in perth, which is a new purpose built track unlike calder which is useless without slicks, and ofcourse u cant drive either i heard from nark! :lol:

K&N panel filter inside stock airbox

* 3inch FGK cat-back exhaust (very quiet and probably more restrictive than some exhausts)

* 3 inch stainless dump pipe off the turbo 'wrapped' with DEI thermal tape to the cat. This dump does not have a sepparate wastegate screamer or feed pipe.

* Diff Cradle kit or 'pineapples' , the Whiteline kit No. KCA349.

* Ogura Lightwieght flywheel 4.8kgs.

* Ceramic puck sprung clutch and stock pressure plate

* Wrapped turbo to intercooler pipe (DEI thermal tape).

* Removed panel behind stock intercooler.

* Timing set around 20+degrees advance.

* disable the carbon canister fume feeds to the intake.

* Turbo smart bleed valve (cheap one) set to 10psi boost

* Simex 205/50 15 inch rear tyres. let them down to 19psi.

* NGK coppers ...6ES gapped to 0.7mm.

thats alot more then what i had when i ran...

i only had da pod and dats it ohh and BOV but apparently that slows u down..

i think stock GTST in good condition are able to break 13's ... on a nice cold night.. and a nice grippy track

    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
