yeh... 1st gear was shit as expected, but second had nothing either.. heathcote track was pathetic... I had much less traction on the strip after a 2nd gear burnout that on the street with cold tyres

anyway, i wanted to see how the car went with its street setup :ninja:

if i set the car up properly it'd be eeeasy 11's

14.9sec @104.14mph on a wet track at heathcote. Only get to do 3 runs.

Looking for a mid 13's this weekend. And some better tyres.

Hey mate,

What engine/suspension mods and what power are you making?

Cheers!

Hey mate, When I had my run at heathcote i got a return flow FMIC, POD, 3 inch turbo exhaust, 10psi, BC coilovers (6/8) and a shitty cheap tyres i got from my brothers SS v8.

i reckon il take off better with my pedders springs.

I made 189rwkw with out the FMIC at my last dyno on 10 psi.

Im gonna giv it another go and run on 11psi with better tyres. (Feels good) lol

Should make mid 13's or lower.

Update to my PB.

Heathcote 26/9/10.

RB20 GTS4 13.57 @ 105.51mph. 60ft 2.01 = crap, but i've had a 1.8 before....

motor on its last legs so won't be running again till new RB20 goes in :)

Looks like no one updates the times on 1st page?

hmm going to have to find my slip i think....but at the time I had 255 rwkw, 255's and 110 mph @ calder.

Thanks heaps for doing the list...so surprised to see where my whale comes amoungst some impressive vehicles.

what kind of 60ft did you get?

street tyres?

how many rwkw?

it'll be good to get more info, its a pretty decent time mate. :huh:

Yeah sorry mate,

Got 1.7 60ft

Was running Nitto Nt's drag radials which wernt the best (these need a bit of heat to get really grippy which didnt really help me). ive now bought a set of MT street radials which i hope are better off the line.

Was running 350 awkw.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
