Yeah, at the end there I was suggesting that lag will have a lot to do with poor trap speeds even if you're "supposed" to run X-mph with whatever power level you have.

This brings us back to the ideology that it is NOT your peak power that will determine things like ET and trap speed, but area under the curve.

lol oh ffs

get a video happening.

my cars been giving me the shits so im probably going to make a video over the weekend too. going to rip a big 'f*ck you' skid to say thanks for giving me hell the last few weeks. private road as usual, ill try capture my private neighbors and their private shaking fists while I do. Straya.

Oh, just realised the link didn't appear in my other post. Just finished re-editing them anyway, here is the interior:

And the exterior:

That definitely does not sound laggy aside from the lazy launch.


What are you revving it to? I think you need to wring its neck a little further and be a little less forgiving on those shifts. Try cross the line in 4th, shifting to 5th just cost you time and MPH.

Correct..unless the car is auto..., but you still have to have both..a car with a big area under and no top end will lay over from half track

Hanaldo problems sound more like gear response..that will kill mph in a manual car, i lost 6 mph in one of my cars just because it

woudn't regain boost after gears immediatly..108mph vs 114mph..lol, that was just 3rd to 4th..before that it was worse in lower gears and was down near 105 or something. That was just caused by a few small boost leaks, but big turbo on fairly small motor, so amplified the problem

cheers

haha, shifting to 5th costs big mph and at least 2-3 tenths( and thats only taking into account shift time)....been through this before, and not long ago last time, car went from low 13's straight into the 12.8 's

cheers

Yeh I didn't get a chance to launch haha, staging issues.

I'm revving to 8000, rev limit is at 8500. I don't think I'm not revving it hard enough haha. I have tried shifting earlier at 7000 and 7500, but that just kills my times. And yeh, I did cross the line in 4th. That last shift to 5th is after the line, I just kept going :P Did you watch my boost gauge? It builds boost VERY slowly.

People need to realise that mph is worked out as a average aswell from start to finish. you can run down the track cross the line at 108 and be doing 108, and next run miss one gear, go across line and be doing 106 or something, but on sheet it will say 100mph.

So if you shift the extra gear, it does same sort thing from memory..

cheers

Even after the line? I was well past the finish when I shifted to fifth, I just did it for the fun of it. I always cross the line in 4th.

Halando my car is heaps faster then yours. :P

Also I noticed (ignore in case it was the sound of some thing else) you've got a habit of revving the engine before going to gear. That Rev is too long, engine's dropping rpm as the car's just rolling.

G3 can be updated into the latest turbine and compressor setup. I will keep pricing to minimum.

That video is no different to how I ran my car when at the drags as I didnt want to break anything. Still did a 12.9 @113mp with 2.2 60ft and 234rwkws of TD06 RB20.

I will just question, are you sure you are not rolling forward a smidge and braking the light. I remember doing an awesome run and got a 15.4 or something. I was waiting for a loud V8 to launch and piss off so I could hear what my car was doing and I must have just broken the light.

12 runs!...Sheesh I think i have done less than that my entire life. :) Good luck with getting it sorted. I can understand your frustration but provided the car is fun and reliable.

SO moving on to a question for Stao. What is the best Mitsubishi based turbo you can come up with for an RB25 that wants more power then a T67-25G but not quite T78 domain

The car got cam timing and etc to sort, so looking to see final results after its all been fixed. Alternatively you can send it back for the latest G3 upgrade and see if that makes any changes.

Some thing makes more power then a T67, Its been already made. The ATRL25.5G 399rwkws with 23psi of boost on stock cams all within 7000RPMs.

Alternatively you can use our new SS2 turbocharger that has the same response as the SL220G while making lot more mid range and 10kws extra top to a T67.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
