i was there watching anth, VERY well deserved result and a 10sec pass is only a given..... its also a good note to mention that almost everything on the car has been done by anth, best of all the tune in it, which it gets 400km's to a tank,makes over 360rwkw and makes the e.p.a happy and have it do it for year's? HOW MANY BIG NAME TUNER'S CAN SAY THIS?? he is the man your after if you need your skyline tuned!!.

well done once again.

Thanks for the comments guys :rofl:

I have been lucky because i have access to 2 dyno's anytime i want, and i know a few people who own workshops and its easy for me to get access to pretty much anything i need.. i am a IT tech not a mechanic.

So yeah i would like to thank Turbotechnics & Hunter All Wheel Dyno for the use of their workshops when needed. Such good mates to have. There is no way i would have been anywhere near ready to go to the track and make this happen without Anthony & Wayne.

Wayne from adnum automotive (hunter all wheel dyno) helped me with a few emergency repaires i needed just as i was about to put the car on the tow truck to get it towed he droped everything and helped me with what i needed to get it fixed.

Anthony @ Turbotechnics is a good mate of mine as well and back in the day we used to bounce ideas off each other, now he helps me when i get stuck with my car as this is the first high powered car i have tuned till about a month or so ago i did i couple others.

And then there is my mate Disco Dave, he is the man when it comes to working on cars, he can pretty much remove the engine from my car and have it on a engine stand in 90 minutes ready to fix whatever needs to be done.. have had this engine out a few times and i would not have been able to do it without him!

Also Riskin, Brad from Autosport, he helped me overcome a major hurdle that I have been stuck on for months with my car, the best thing about his help was that he just gave me encouragement to keep heading in the direction i was going and not let failure to fix the problem let me down, i think he know i was soo close to working it out that he wanted me to to go at it myself, so yeah brad cheers for your help too!

So yeah i would like to give credit where credit is due, there would be more people who have helped me along the way but they all know its well appreaciated!

Sad day for Anthony and all the locals up here yesterday as Anthony's towie and well know local identity was killed on Monday night...all the best 'effie' and give our condolences to AD'z and his family.

What are your plans GT. strictly 1/4 mile stuff or is there some trackwork in your future?

I am going to give up on drag racing and keep going with drifting, drag racing is boring. drifting is fun ;)

mate...fricken excellent work there! I admire that you do your own work and it has payed off :) Kudos to you!

Cheers mate :) yes it finally paid off, i waited a while before i was ready because i had some more mods to make the car reliable to do, like oil cooler etc etc

Well Done Anthony!!!

Glad the car is running well and cant wait to see what happen's next! :D

10's will come soon, then i will try and get into some serious drifting :)

Cheers Paul, it happened on monday night. Mal was the best towie in Newcastle, no one could work a truck the way he could. He will be missed.

RIP MAL

That's a great time, mate. You have a 10 waiting with the same power level and a 1.6 second 60-foot time.

Great stuff.

Cheers mate, maybe your car will be ready and we can have a few runs soon :)

Hey Anthony,

Have you had any drag racing experience previously, as im kinda in the same boat (same power, RWD) but havent raced on the strip yet. So im kind of expecting to be terrible the first few times!

Also, did you have to worry about wheel spin with the drag radials, or did they just hook up and away you went?

congratulations Anthony 11 for non AWD is really good results hope we can play little bit with my car too at this weekend:)

hehehee cool mate.. ive never tuned a car in Europe by remote controlling the laptop in the car over a mobile phone connection. It will be interesting! I am looking forward to it :woot: Our test run last night worked smoothly so it should work fine.

To the race track you go :(

I took a screen shot from our little test run.

I was a big street racer back in the day, i used to be known for my launch abilities being able to out launch WRX's in my skyline (Poor clutch) but that was a long time ago and have grown up a bit since then :D

I have had about a total of 10 runs on the track, 2 back in 2001 in my old fj20 datto and 3 years ago i had about 4 runs in my skyline with 200hp less at the wheels, and the 3 runs i have had last weekend.

So i am not experienced on the track, the drag radials would not turn, i even had the launch controll spooling 3psi off boost on the line at 5500 rpm and droped the clutch and it would STILL BOG DOWN!!!!

If i had of had another go i would have dropped it at 6500rpm :) and i might have got a 10 but i broke out :D

Im a lil confused????

How heavy is the R33 GTS-T???

Runing low 12's with slicks on Approximetly 420whp doesnt seem right. Ive seen hondas run high 12's with right around 300whp and thats FWD.....

Ive also seen 240sx's with rb25 FMIC kit and 12psi run 12.2's

bout 1450 or 1550kgs with me in it. the 12.2 run was with a 2.4 60 foot, i had the launch controll set at 3500rpm which bogged down very hard and took a second before it took off

Might even give your GSXR a run for its money over 400m :D

Congrats!! That is an awesome effort, would certainly leave my bucket for dead in its current form :)

lol! You certainly would if i was riding it, i can only manage mid 11's. The thing is capable of 9's if you have the balls to do it though!

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
