Sat. 23-12-06 T&t @ Willowbank


Recommended Posts

It's been a few years and 2 cars ago since i've participated in a T&T. I've had my new tip-to-turbo exhaust done for a couple of days now and i'm keen to get it out on the strip and give her a floggin'.

I HOPE being around Xmas time will make it a quieter night, because as i remember, it is usually quite busy....i hope.

At this stage, a mate and i will be heading down regardless, but it'd be nice to catch up with a few 'lines on the night.

well i had fun but didnt get the time i was after. I blame the operator, rather than the tools :)

I ran 6 times from 4:30-9, so it was an average sized turnup....a lot of bikes in fact.

Best 2 runs were (60', ET, KPH):

2.211, 14.415, 153

2.132, 14.410, 157

On every run, i either got axle tramp off the start, or bounced the limiter in a gear, or both, so none of my runs were ideal. I was hoping for a 14.1, but i recon i current trim and a good run, it's only good for 14.2, 14.3. The 2 runs above felt pretty consistant.

Met Mort and few other non-SAU 'lines, but left early, as i got my runs done in the arvo before the crowd.

oh, and the most impresive partner i raced beside was a turbo+nitrous Swift GTi. It pulled a 60' of 1.791 (thanks to slicks), ET of 11.042@215kmh! Awsome little rocket, but then again, i'm partial to the little dungers, as i used to have one :)

Hey sorry i didn't see you before you went, saw a few of your runs thou, looked like you were doin pretty good.

Mangaged to get a 14.1 :) (60', ET, Kph) 2.241, 14.172, 162.01 wish i knew what i did so i could do it again, and got heaps of axel tramp

Found out that 33's don't like being run with out a pod 2.542, 15.726, 147.14 (shame) :laugh:

Seen that swift a few times now, that thing can haul ass, gave the XR5 a run to, not to bad but lacks out on the top end, i reacted 0.178 slower but just beat him he had 2.242, 14.966, 153.30 and i had 2.507, 14.766, 161.47

mine was the dark blue r34 gtt. Ony mods are bilstien suspension, batmbl split dump and 3" straight through exhaust....on the minus side, my coil packs are cracked and occasionally cause hesitation.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
