Finally Got Slo-o31 R31 To The Track

[S3_Girl]

Finally got to the drags this weekend, unfortunately it didn't go all to plan,

the car had a massive boost leak, first run on 19psi(with the boost controller set to 26psi)

the car went 10.67 at 132.94 with a 1.77 60 ft, we coudn't fix the boost leak so turned up the boost controller

to 25psi manually(so the turbo was probally pumping out around 35psi to make 25 in the motor), then the

transbrake woudn't work. So i stalled it on the brake pedal, rolled out for a 1.68 60 ft and ran 10.21 at

140.9mph, all on pump fuel/ full exhaust and at least 20rwkw less than i usually drive it on the street with.

Car didn't use a full slick either , just a m/t street grooved slick that i have been driving round on.

So CTIFLY record has FINALLY been broken.

There a lot more left in this combo, if the transbrake worked it would have gone 9 something on that pass

and theres another 50rwkw left in the tune on pump fuel and 26psi still, unfortunately the stcck bottom end

finally went bang..the alternator failed and the voltage dropped to 7volts, killing the fuel pumps

and altering the injector pulse width....time for a decent forged motor

cheers

[sinistaGTR]

[r31turbo]

awesome darren... awesome

[chops]

Hopefully you got some better traction there on the Sunday after two days of rubber being laid.

Heaps of traction problems for the serious cars there this weekend.

That thing is a weapon, and it's only a matter of time for the 9.

If we'd known you were going to be there racing, Nightcrawler and myself might have hung around to see you run.

There WAS a 9 run there by a blue skyline that weekend though...

slo r31 indeed! lol! good work.

[sky30]

Darren, well done on the time, pitty about the bootom end, what actually let go?.

What M/T tyres did you run, Drag radial or the cross-ply et-street?

[Deluxe]

Top work Darren! Good to hear........ just a pity it had to take a road trip to do it, Although........... Road trips are fun and full of alot of alcohol!!!!

[S3_Girl]

cross ply et street, i haven't much faith in the radials, as my set for the street in 17's are

are joke and they wear quicker, 4 nights with just roll ons, no wheelies and they were bald,

not good value at $640.

The block/rods etc are all fine, sounds like i broke a ringland on one piston, still starts first go and drives,

just not on all cylinders:)"

cheers

lol yep Jays running on a fresh motor.. Already done one in.

What times did Jay run? Jake was out there also?

Obviously detonation killed the piston. A bastard the alternator let go.

All in street trim, daily tyres etc.. Top work Darren.

10.1 at 143mph

Jays "fresh" motor is still just a stock bottom end.

it goes to show that both nissan and toyota 3ltr bottom ends can pull some good numbers

10.1 at 143mph

lol yes.. I believe his origional motor let go due to a fuel pump/lean out issue also.

But definitely tough as bottom ends.

Jay run on slicks or similiar tyres to Darren? Great effort from the 5speed.

jay ran on full slicks, race fuel, no exhaust, bloody good time for a manual!!,

i think they are going back for 9's soon.

jake went 10.3 at 136mph with one pass then blew the trans, that will be easily in the 9's

in a couple of weeks aswell!

I personally have no interest in race fuels,no exhaust etc, i want to know how fast my car runs how i always

drive/drove it, and it makes it interesting,anyone can tune a car on race fuel, it's full proof, wind the compressor till

it noses over, set timing for peak torque, walla, no balancing act.

the car would easily go upper 140mph traps with those mods and well into the 9's setup

I had 1 pass on fullboost, if the motor lasted it would have pissed in a better time..but shit happens:)

next time:)

cheers
