I'll be there to spectate, for sure. If I can get new rubber and the kca349 kit before Sunday, then I'll run as well.

2 thumbs up for the s-afc. Sorting out af ratios and confusing the ecu into not knocking back timing did wonders for me. 253rwhp at Barrys dyno.

Come down on Sunday, it should be great. Launching at the track is much like launching on the street - hold revs, side step clutch at 2nd orange light and hold on for the ride.

I wouldn't worry about that Adam. The first time I went I was a little bit nervous but no one really cares if you make a mistake. No one has made a perfect launch everytime.

My first run I thought I had gone over the staging line so i chucked it in reverse and as soon as i did that the green light went..... wasnt my best run :cool:

Called up Westshock this morning and reserved the last set of kca349 they had. Picked it up this afternoon and looks like word is getting around, cause someone else wanted a set after I'd reserved.

Organized for a pair of yoko A539 to be fitted on Friday. They really should be going on the front, but I may put them on the back for couple of days so I can loose the top skin at the drags.

So, looks like I definantly will be going. :burnout:

KILLER- T, good to hear your able to run. Lets hope the traction gods are smiling on you :)

Guys/Gals

You want to launch about 500RPM higher than FULL BOOST RPM. This is what ive been told and seems affective.

When wheels start to spin back revs off slightly then all the way to redline, Snap 2nd gear and hold on thru gears hehehe

Higher boost/power newbies to motorplex 2nd gear snap seems to launch you into whatever direction you are pointing ie if back wheels kick out u may need to straighten up or u will go offcourse :-)

I find the track is a fair bit grippier than black asphalt

IMPORTANT. Most slightly modded skylines will do a +160kmhr terminal speed which is just over 3rd gear redline so make sure u take 3rd to the end

:burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
