cheers DC. yeah that was from last night, Josh had his 33 out as well which was doing mid 12 also, his is much better to look at than mine though.

Was hanging out to do this, got some Nitto's off MattR not long ago but just have too much and have the Time-Attack coming up on the 11th June (pending weather) - and a little weary with the gearbox/drive-train prior hence had to make late decision to miss it :( plus it got shifted from original date which was the killer... but great time and that is a good reaction time as many have noted! Can hardly wait till the next one!

Only photo Ive got until Lukey puts some up from the drags, tell your Mrs thanks for the pic nelson.lol

Managed a best of 12.7 @ 120.1mph, 2.5 60ft. has the power, just need the traction, wasnt too keen to drop the tyre pressure too much with cheap 235s on a 9.5"rim. I know this isn an ideal drag set up, but i was keen to know what it would run how i drive it everyday on the street with no changes. I think ill attend the july 1/4 with some drag radials and stock suspension to boot.

I just looked through my timeslips and my best 60' in the S15 was 1.902 - and sadly that wasn't on my fastest run. I never ran on drag radials - I now wish I had tried some back in the day, as I always spun some through 1-2 and 2-3 gear changes. Helps that the S15 was only 1,250kg too :)

^^ Someone changes their rims....Look like Enkei light-weight :P Good to see 3 skylines in the same pic

Thanks again DC

Would be good if more imports go out, i was getting tired of the big blocks passing me on 2 wheels :( Going to get some prices on drag radials soon and pretty sure ill be out for the july street meet.

The enkeis are sweet, aggressive stance on it looks awesome.

Luke has his pics up, there are a few of yours.

Haha harsh, I didnt know that threads in the SA section meant that others were unwelcome??

I obviously posted my other car in here a while back, and this was still in my "my content" list, with a new post, therefore I posted my recent aquirement

Go ahead and delete it if it is that much of an issue :s

Nah it's not an issue mate - I was just wondering how anyone from another state even found their way into the SA forums, that is all. And I did say your car was pimp :)

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
