yeh butthurt a lot of people from a 80km/h roll on, usually let them have first throttle push :D

to put it in perspective my brothers gtst had 255rwkw did a 12.9 i had 253rwkw did a 12.7 with roughly same mph dat torque and gearbox, also I'm willing to bet i'll get over 400rwkw on the Chasers dyno in a few weeks at a dyno day I'm attending seeings as I got 290 standard on it last time loool

my brothers now 340rwkw (on trents hub dyno at least..) car still cant pull on me, dat dere turbo lag vs supercharger

that 12.7 is more launch related. what was your MPH?

for reference i did 12.9 @ 119mph

/dat stiff coilovers

still my launch was only a 1.9 60ft think my brothers was 2.0 60ft. mph not too sure cant remember 110-115? turbo falcons get higher mph due to power delivery being midrange, my power curve is purely straight up so more revs = more power

these cars have done 10s without a intercooler :D, best tune only one i've seen is 11.3 with slicks

the GT500s in america are even more ridiculous, make like 440rwkw from factory

Less power and narrower band, why would you expect him to pull away? Still a good effort against your car I reckon

Gotta get me some e85

At ~250rwkw Leigh had 1.5 car lengths on me in a rolling. I'm confident I could keep up with him once I E85.

Where Leigh's car is faster than a Skyline of similar power/weight, is making that power much earlier in the rev range. Auto gearing helps too, depending on speed you drag at.

usually i'm still pretty far ahead especially at lower speeds, dat auto gearbox his car pretty quick when its running properly, unfortunately not very reliable these days lol

True, still I need to rev mine out next time :P our gear ratios would be heaps different - agree though responsive skylines are better

quickest car i raced was a done up f6 i reckon, we were flying for ages haha

that 2.7l rb25 wolf3d white r33 would take me easy, hit a 10 on last years drag day

Was it him who kept busting fuel pumps? I'm worried about blowing something up if I convert, about to tick over "150, 000kms" lol

Yep, that, turbo gaskets, intake manifold gaskets and few other things, split his intercooler pipe somewhere too i think at some stage lol

not to mention it leaks oil like a bitch now too

I know its a few pages back

But how is his surname actually spelt,

Pettet

Pettite

Pettit

Can we get a poll going on ? cause everyones doing it differently. Also has he got a wife? cause i know of a pettit somewhere in southeast. :P

    • Pre-empting heat management  1. The Kraken manifold will be ceramic coated 2. Just purchased some peel and stick heat shielding stuff from car builders, I'll cover some of the firewall behind the dump and a little on the cam cover, this will be done prior to installation as I have ample room to get where I need to now before that realestate has more bits in the way, I'm also planning to modify the OEM heat shield to go back on, but that won't happen until after installation so I know where to hack it up, I'll also cover it with some some peel and stick to neaten it up after the hacking 3. As the dump is stainless with a flex joint coating isn't really a option, and wrapping isn't recommended for a stainless dump, so once it is installed I'll grab some shielding from car builders to cover the dump, as it has some stand off, it "shouldn't" cause any issues and it "should" just keep the radiant heat away from " melty engine bay stuff" Not for heat management, but I've grabbed some more black crinkle coat to paint all the shiny intake pipes, I'll pick the pipe work up prior to installation and use the paint booth and big oven at work to cure them, I'll then wrap them with some bubble wrap so they stay nice during installation
    • We're back on, gang - Our yearly pilgrimage south to our favourite cafe for an awesome brekkie!

Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • YO- have been searching and searching for an a31 chassis plug pinout, or someone who knows which wire is for tach.  ceffy was flooded past dash during a hurricane.  having an electrical gremlin appear. tach is wonky reading consistent with a short, and on occasion the right side of my speedo lighting will flicker just for a second then go back to normal.  if no pinout available does anyone know if the tach harness opens or branches anywhere behind the dash? im suspecting a possible root behind the radio as there are more shorts in that area on the accessory loop.
    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below.
