I went down for the first time ever too!!! My best time was 14.166 @ 101.12mph... Crappy 60' of 2.416secs and reaction time of 1.129secs... My main problem is suspension is setup for circuit racing, sssoooo much traction problems... :(

The drags finished tonight... Now they are on Sundays from the 11th of May...

EDIT: Whoops, my bad, my best time was 14.147 @ 100.67mph reaction time of 0.905, 60' of 2.427secs...

you got enough for a 13.8 there mph wise. Just get the 60ft into a 2.1 and your there :mad:

Did you run lower tyre inflation (say 20psi)?

Do you have pineapples?

It's lots of fun anyway isn't it.

And the VN ran 15.74. Yep, that was the red one down there. Oh well, not to worry, it tried. Only paid $2000 for it so can't complain to much. Beats all the other VN's round here. She is naturally aspirated remember. One kid down there in his VR spent tonnes on it, shift kit, faster diff gears, extractors, etc, etc, and only managed a 15.58. Poor kid, what a waste of money.

no i didn'y go.

The car needs an injector or two cleaned. The ping comes in strong at 4700rpm and although it's making 230rwhp it's afr is high 9s there. The rich fueling and very little timing should eliminate ping but this means one or two pots are leaning out whilst the others are waay overfuelled. I'm pulling the plugs and possibly injectors out today to find out for sure.

my first night last night for runs too, great fun

didnt know u were all going :)

anyway ran a best of 14.56 @ 96.9mph

running street tyre pressure - 36psi in bald 255's :mad:

only engine mod:

catback exhaust, still got the stock airbox.. running stock boost

im keen now to lower that time, need more launch practise...

and mods ;)

I forgot to bring down my portable compressor and a guage so i could let down the tyres, so i just guessed and let them down a little bit, it did help a bit, but i DEFINITELY need to practice my launches!!!

BOOST is that your series II

do you want the grille or not man, you slack biatch

yeah there were a few lines down there, i didnt know anyone, i was clinging to cam and zanda all night, incase the other skyline owners were mean

ah well i will catch people at sundays one, yaay

Yeah strich9 i am gonna get an EBC shortly and a cam gear as well and then get the AFC back in and tuned in that should make a world of difference oh yeah and let the tyres down also.

and diff cradles. thats all i am doing for now,

but judging from the launches i did i know that 14.5 is shocking, oh yeah also should get that larger cat for the exhaust no sense restricting for no reason

Alan.

just for your information, reaction time doesnt count upon your final time.. The counter starts as soon as you pass zee laserzz.

but if you react in under 0.4secs you get a red light, but your time is still recorded.

*ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP*

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
