im in paul - wouldnt mind doing the 1/4 mile again as well...

see if i can better my previous run with 320awkw & did a 11.1sec

Wow. That makes my 11.6 with 370rwkw look like shit. Having said that my best 60 foot was over 2 seconds.

I suppose that's what happens when you dont want to pop another box!

What was your 60 foot and MPH?

Thats interesting with the injectors. I have read that "whatever you think is enough with E85... go the next size up".

Next time we go I'll def give you and Marko a yell. Although I would love to do EC. Wakefield espeically with the power that our cars make I find you spend too much time in the lower gears. It did feel great grabbing 4th at 8500 hauling arse down the main straight!

With the box. Be careful. I broke mine on the street with not a very hard shift at all. It was only 11,000 kms old. Was not impressed. Now I have a OS box to try and break. Knock on wood that does not happen!

Maybe we should all go on the same night and have 3 GTR's getting booted out 1 after another. haha

Its a shame there's no ID1500, that would suit so many built cars out there!

EC is awesome fun, its definatly more suited to big hp cars like yours marko's and mine. On street tires there's so many nice spots for power on oversteer out of corners and the corners are all so open compared to Wakefield which feels a bit small for so much HP as you cant use it most of the time. The straight at EC is just brilliant, entry speed is pretty good then its just a case of slamming each gear at 8500rpm/9000rpm and feeling all that power shove you forward. mmmm, love it! You know what i think is best about Wakefield? That massive hill near Bowral on the highway driving there!

I think you'll be ok with an OS box, they seem to take a beating. Im being careful with mine, but when driving quick i still shift fairly fast and dont crunch it at all, im a bit worried one day ill be in gear then go full throttle then a sudden BANG

Im in for a joint booting from WSID. We can go one after the other in one lane just to make a joke about it. Do you think they'd kick us for slamming the brakes before the finish line?

My fuel system is almost there then. I have 2 x 044s to feed the rail and a walbro in tank pump. E85 looks like the way to go, shame we wont get it at the pump for a while here in Tassie...

Ah Tasmania, how many years was it until you guys got 98? haha

What injectors do you plan on using?

On your 11.1 did you launch it, or just engage at normal revs then stand on the loud pedal?

I should hopefully be getting "the LOLvo" back from Yavuz tomorrow, so I'll be aiming to comprehensively smash you all* at WSID. :laugh::whistling::P:happy:

*Disclaimer: this "smashing" will be purely on the basis of who has the most available boot space in their car, mmmkay???

:P

off the limiter, side step the clutch.

this was also accompanied with a 2nd gear burnout in rwd mode

that is right! capacity chews DC, i know when i upgraded these were my results:

rb26 with 700cc - making 320awkw & DC was 90%

rb26/30 with 1600cc - making 405awkw & DC is 65% (imagine with 700cc, impossible)

Yeah the 1500's would be right on! It will be interesting to see the difference between yours and mine. Same tuner, same fuel, same cams. I have higher compression but not as much capacity... but a ported head.

Ha. That hill. Yeah I will admit that it was quite fun going up that on the way there. A look in the rear vision mirror and you could see a fair bit of black smoke hanging about. haha.

Im not sure about the jumping on the anchors at WSID. "11.4 @ 94 mph". haha. But yeah. Mass boot out for sure. We just have to all get our cars sorted and tee up a Wednesday night.

i also heard that once injectors reach over 90% they start losing efficiency

Never heard of this before.

It's actually pretty funny, the amount of extra fuel flow you get going from 99% to 100% compared to 98% to 99%...

The amount of fuel flowing at 90%, is not going to be 90% of the CC rating. It's actually less as you have to take into affect dead time, plus the lower flow when the injector is first opening and then again closing.

Ah Tasmania, how many years was it until you guys got 98? haha

What injectors do you plan on using?

Will probably go with ID2000 just to have a little extra if I want more power.

It sounds like our drags may be closing so am looking for a cheap GTR to drop the engine into. :)

Well i guess time will tell, ive spent a bit of time on the exhaust today so that was good. I really think the stock porting will let it down but the reason i left it like that is to see just how far the stock head can go. Ive told Yavuz to push it as hard as he can, so it will be a good comparison

I can tell you some stories about that hill, none on here though haha

We can do the bootout after the dyno :)

Yeah smart move. The 1000's just wont do the job

Why are your drags closing? Is there a racetrack where the straight can be used instead? Eastern Creek used to do that up here. Anyway, you get Targa roads, thats more than enough ;)

    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments   
    • Me coming to check the thread to see if my manual boost controller was set up correct......  
    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
