Predator,

Your reply quoted Guilt-Toy, who has very good 0-100 times. I think you mistook him for me?

I'm the one with the actual problem, and I have the stock standard turbo. (I now have the EBC w/11.5psi but I am yet to do any 0-100 runs with this setup).

FWIW, I timed a *slow* (14 second) 0-70kph run, comparing the AP22 result with a stopwatch - they matched quite closely (within a second). I'm quite comfortable that the AP22 is working ok.

Greg.

Just a thought, but are you sure you've got your variable cam timing connected? I left mine disconnected once and with all my mods I could only get 137rwkw. Once reconnected it made 177rwkw. Basically it totally destroyed my top end and made the car feel slow when I pushed it (I never tested my 0-100), but driving around normally on the street it didn't feel too bad (only slightly slow feeling).

hmmmmm ye... i got a stock r33 Auto and i have done a few 6 secs 0-100's on cold days using the 1-2-D method. Dont do it all the time cos is bad for the motor, but jus to see how much i could push it. Must say im very impressed with the RB25, dont make that much noise when ya redline on cold days. Could easily hit a 100 in 2nd gear.

Just keep practicing, if you're worried about your car, find a nice quiet bit of private road somewhere, and do a rolling start against another similarly modded 33. I'm guessing it's just your launching though, there's a lot to it, depending on suspension, tyre pressures and the most important thing being driver skills.

Just keep testing different methods of launching i guess, find out what works best for you, i like using the sliding the clutch out slower to keep the power on that optimum level before wheel spin, but that shagged my last clutch and i havn't had my car going right where i wanna push it yet.

Ok, thanks everyone.

Btw, I should mention that I have a button clutch. (sporty, not full race). It's quite a bit more savage on the takeup than the standard clutch, and I find it hard to get a good launch without excessive wheel spin.

I'll set the AP22 into continuous mode next time, to get more detail about what happens in 2nd around the redline. (i.e, it'll log g-force 100 times a second, and the data can be analysed later)

The car feels much better now without the boost staging. I understand that this is a trivial mod to do, too.

MIC33R: the cam timing cable was plugged in, however we found that the connector was loose - it came off too easily. (we replaced the plug on the cable to fix that). Just maybe something was going on there - thanks for the hint!

I did a slowish run, but gunned it in 2nd at about 70kph. Purpose was to see if the problem at redline in 2nd is repeatable. Looking at the plot, I can see that the car never made it to 100kph in 2nd gear at all! :P:D It got to about 98kph, when the rev limiter kicked in.

I suspect that the previous circa 9 second result (where I revved out 2nd) was obtained only after I slowly shifted up to third, thinking that I had already got to 100 in 2nd.

Just by the way, the 100kph mark on my speedometer is actually about 97kph. (checked with a GPS, which is very accurate for speed on the flat)

Skip.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 馃槕. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
