Damn!!! Just got back from calder, 12.00 @114mph......

I want that 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, stock turbos running 1.1 bar, stock ecu.....

Damn good effort.

Im running stock turbs @ 1 bar

Retuned Nissan ECU

HKS cat back and pods

best of 12.54 @110mph..... 248rwKw

by exactlly how much would front pipes and dumps help terminal speed?

Pawley, got standard dump pipes, but HKS front pipe, I would assume front pipes would make a noticeable difference, may push your terminal speed to about 114mph???

Don't quote me on that though.....

JagR33 - nice i guess we are in the same boat - both want a quater starting with the number 11 - both running pretty much the same power :P

i need to get down to calder soon - maybe we can meet up and exchange tips/ideas on how to get that 11 :P

Yeah sure, I know Dean very well and know the car you bought from him, that's how I know they're very identical....

Gotta love the 'Ben Special Tune'.......

When your ready to race at calder just PM me, we'll meet somewhere.....

Okay lads, I'm just concluding a new DVD being released through the same outlets as High Octane, and HPI in May called 'Car Crazy', and in it is a feature story about drag racing, including a story about tuning a near stock GTR to run in the 11s. In the first part of the story the car consistantly runs in the low 12s with 220 - 230kW at all four wheels as measured on C&Vs dyno. The 60ft times were between 1.7 and 1.8 seconds. At this stage the mods included:

HKS dump pipes and full exhaust

HKS cam gears

Japanese ECU (non-tunable)

HKS pod filters

1-bar of boost

Nismo twin plate clutch

From here the car is being tweaked to achieve a high 11 second pass while retaining the stock turbos, fuel system and engine. I'll be using unleaded ANDRA approved 105 octane fuel, higher boost pressure, a different (albeit cheap) ECU upgrade, suspension tuning, and a mild wieght reduction (spare wheel/jack, stereo system).

Should be running the 11 second configuration during a private filming session at WSID next week.

My friend ran 11.4 at 121mph, on 1.2 bar, advanced timing ,extra injector triggered by a hobb's switch and a cheap water injection setup. I then got him some R34 turbo's and it went 11.3 at 124mph!, power?, never seen a dyno! It's an early R32GTR., Back in the early day's when Munro and Willalll were only running low 11's with big dollar setup's.

Well doen Jack, so damn close to that 11sec pass.

You gotta nail those 60 footers in the 1.7s mate. :)

Thanx Emre, you probably know how it feels, been there before haven't ya?

Yeah my 60 ft times have been around the 1.85s, but that's with 265/35/18 hankooks, might have to get the original 17s with sticky rubber and I'll be in the 11s for sure....

What am I doing wrong...

I have 240 kw at all 4 and get a reaction time of 0.46 and a 60 ft of 1.7 (average) and a terminal speed of 108mph (average) my best to date is 12.365 but average about 12.50...by the way I tried my hand at a bracket meet last night and won $100 and a trophy...

so why are you all faster...i also have steel wheels and 1.3 bar

ricknismo, your 60ft times are superb, but looks like your midrange is suffering....

108mph is definetly not good for a flat 12, considering I'm getting 114mph....

With steel wheels usually u get more lag, so maybe that's your problem???

Don't quote me on that though.....

You got a decent clutch???

Yes Jack, i've been there before, but was able to get the 11 on my 3rd and 5th run. :kick:

It doesn't work out with the averages mate. What is your best 2-3 mph so far...?

If you are not pulling 114mph, you only have a dyno printout of 240kw.

    • You know the worst thing about acquiring more space for me? I tend to acquire more things to fill the space...
    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
