Wow, great times there scott d. (for a 4 cylinder :D )

Didn't you get a chance to drive, typerlc?

No ... and I'm pretty dissappointed about that! Too busy collecting money, flagging and all that sort of sh*t.

And while I know you're joking Duncan, for the record, my stock ITR (DC2R or old one for the uninitiated) does low 12s with semis (I was hoping to say 11s ... I'm close, but not quite there yet). Of course track conditions play a big part in good times. And they weren't the best on the day (not bad in the arvo, but still cold).

How did your race go Duncan?

Low 12s is pretty bloody quick too, that's all I can do in the skyline. Those type rs are sweet handling cars, they just need a turbo :D

I should have gone to this instead, I ended up with 5th, 6th and a broken driveshaft :)

Good to see the numbers were better than expected.

Who needs a turbo with performance like this: http://www.vtec.net/articles/view-article?...ticle_id=101836

For those that can't be bothered following the link, it's a new ITR engine (4cyl, 2.0L, NA) making 260 WHP with more to come :)

I'm having second thoughts about posting this in the lion's den. Ahhhh ... you only live once :)

Well, that's a huge output there. approx 260kw at flywheel?

I do like to 170nm torque peak at 5,500rpm :D - wouldn't want to drive up a hill!

Seriously though, that is a huge power output, but you'd have to admit it would be pretty unfriendly anywhere except a race track.

Hmmm ... your math has gone awry somewhere. Torque peak was 173 lb ft ... ~ 234 Nm. Still not turbo-like, but nothing to sneeze at.

Hehehe.

Yep ... that's them. Why do skylines seem to always be on the brakes. It's a bit distracting when you're passing slower cars to have their brake lights always flashing you. At least they're courteous enough to pull over when they see a real car approaching.

In case that's not clear ... maybe it's time to refresh yourself with the results:

:):P;) :bahaha: :D :D :D

(oh god, what have I got myself into?:))

lol, that photo is a huge 1!  Hell of a skyline collection you've got there.

Where were they all last sat though?

I think they're all show & dyno cars. Too fragile for racing :uh-huh:

All I have to say, is that it's easy to drive a slow car fast, but hard to drive a fast car fast :)

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
