Thanks guys. No new mods since my last 13.4's, just practice. Still auto.

This is from the other thread I started:

I've been quite frustrated by my bad drag times so far in my car. Even when I had the stock turbo I seemed to be way behind the pack. I've been to a few wednesday night street meets and in my unprofessional opinion they suck for everything bar socialising. Too many cars, not enough runs, too many rotaries dropping oil all over the track.

I figured what I needed was a private track day with lots of runs to practice so I went to the V8owners track day on sunday (I was invited by the organisers who know me) and I practiced.

First run 13.4

Second run 13.3

Third run 13.2

Fourth run 20.4

Fifth run 13.08

Sixth 13.4

Seventh 13.2

Eighth 12.9!!!!

At this point I rang 2rismo who gave me a little tip and told me I had a 12.8 in it. I didn't believe him and consequently stuffed the next 3 runs up.

Next I started paying attention and I got about 4 12.8's and then 3 12.7's each time dropping a few hundredths on my ET. My MPH on my final pb of 12.764 was about 105.xx but interestingly I got 107.95 and 107.88 on other runs so maybe I've got a 12.6 in it?

I've got steel wires sticking out my tyres now and a grin from ear to ear. I made lots of smoke and put some of the V8's to shame, although one guy made my 190km/h burnout over the start line look lame by burying me in his tyre smoke.

Thanks to 2rismo for the tips.

Congrat's on the ET improvement!

Peter and Duncan are a well organised friendly bunch who know how to put on a good day at WSID. I went out in March with them, lots of fun.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
