Hhmm....I think i have more of a chance of being sponsored - see 2 extra doors to put brand names on, means more cash, means by the time you get into 10.2, I should be into 9's, ...that is if my calculations are right, say $10k a door, 4 doors, total of $55,0..........

I'm officially hooked. So busy tonight. I think I shall make that a regular occurance, lots of fun, even if I was one of the slowest amongst the skylines. At least I beat a rex. Gotta work on those launches. Cyas all there next time!

ET 19.375

MPH 100.45

Another enjoyable night at the drags.

There was a huge turnout and everyone seemed to get there early. Met a few new Skyline faces. Ran against Gester on his very first run down the strip he did a respectable 14.396.

A very nice blond girl in a very nice R33 pretty stock was doing 14.8's.

Steve....in between running up and down the staging lanes borrowing and returning helmets....managed a PB 13.2

Mick in the R32 did a 14.3 with a muffed 4th gear at 93mph...... that could have been his first high 13 :D .

I heard James did a 14.0.

I really must come to grips with this bl**dy clutch.....restarting the engine and heading off to the 60ft line at 1200rpm in seccond gear is never going to make for good ET's :)

I managed to get a best of 14.627 at 96.69mph for the night, although when my car was stock i ran a personal best of 14.483 at 97.11mph. The funny thing was that for my best run last night i turned the boost down to 5 psi from 10 psi and ran 0.2 of a second faster.

My new clutch seems to be the main problem (single plate ceramic with new flywheel and pressure plate). It was the first time i had raced with it and even when i dropped the clutch at 3 grand my car just sat at the line spinning the tyres. I've tried slipping it off the line but that doesn't work either. Oh well, looks like i'll be needing to invest in some slicks.

Ill talk TooQuik (white skyrhine which used to have a ding in the spoiler) into coming down, and giving you all a run for your money (or your cars).  Ill tell you now, by god that car has some grunt!  In fact im willing to put cash on TooQuik whipping any other R33 'rhine on the 1/4 mile.

So who's up for the challenge...Aye?

Ohhh please.....Are you this guys boyfriend or what? The car you're talking about is a stock Series 2 with a boost controller and a 400R kit....Hardly a car you should be talking up.

    • 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.
