Well I was bored the other Wednesday night so I headed out to Willowbank to see if this CES front pipe made any difference. This was the best run of the night.

Car: 97 R33 GTST sedan

Turbo: Standard

Date: 11/04/2007

Time: 8.55pm

Track: Willowbank

Air Temp: 17 C

Track Temp: 29 C

Humidity: 87%

Reaction time: 0.522

60ft: 2.117

330ft: 5.828

660ft: 8.911

1000ft: 11.548

ET: 13.772

MPH: 101.37

So yeah, I was quite happy with that as I haven't touched a thing on the car since I went out last time except for fitting the CES front pipe and it gave me an extra couple of tenths. I am thinking about getting a set of MT drag radials on a set of 16x8 rims, I reckon I could get it down to the low 13s then, very happy with that considering the level of power mods I have.

Went to the QLD SAU Dyno day held at Godzilla Motorsports. A few weeks ago now I blew my turbo at a track day at QLD raceway. I tracked down a second hand R34 turbo, its a little noisy but will do the job for a while. The car pulled a fairly healthy number considering the power mods of full exhaust with cat, k&n panel filter, 10psi, stock R34 turbo.

Yeah, the turbo was a pain but the R34 turbo has definately made the car feel a little stronger, will see for sure next time I get out to Willowbank.

Went to an all day track day at Queesland Raceway on Tuesday (26/06/07), was a bit of fun being a very wet day. Was a bit of a mistake leaving the RE55s on but I was too lazy to go back to my street tyres. Semis definately don't like standing water. . . .

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
