Good to see you down there Davo , slippery as shit alright. :thumbsup:

well this is not what I was hoping to report, but not completely unexpected....

did a couple of very average runs, nothing but wheel spin off the line, was to pussy to torch the clutch :no:

1.9 & 2.0 - 60 foots, 11.7 & 11.9 both 126mph :/ being nice and gentle on the gear changes to the point it was fulling off boost between gears :mad:

So turned the boost up and went a bit more aggressive on the shifting, and destroyed 3rd straight away :whistling: I wasn't too shocked with that result...

managed to limp home with no third and what sounded like someone shaking a can of nuts and bolts under the car, so that gearset will be completely stuffed..

anyway altho not the best sample group, it doesn't look like the shorter standard 1st is any quicker out of the hole than the longer OS 1st, but there are too many other variables, don't know if it was the track last night or what, but I get better hook-up on the street, at barbs and pretty much everywhere compared to motoplex last night..:yucky:

Ouch mate thats a bit of a bugger. At least you were able to get it home.

My times were shocking,m as i later found out that my boost was spiking then falling away at the higher revs. Start with 12PSI go through the line at 7 :angry: . Fail

Consequently all i managed was a 14.4 second pass. Not great as when i went down last year i was pulling 13.8's all night.

1.9 60 foot time is average for a GTR? o.O

here i was thinking i pedalled it well! :unsure:

I didn't see any R34 GTR at the drags last night ??

Or was that a dig at my 60 foot ? if so, I realise 1.9 is not flash, :closedeyes:

the track was prepped yesterday and looked much grippier..

Hi Richard

Liking the youtube video - what a mean idle, and colour!

What hp are you making atw and briefly what mod's have you done?

Curious as my father has a 33 GT-R V-Spec with some fair mod's and his best so far is a 12.002 over the quater.

Cheers

heres one at the drags, I should be doing 10's but haven't managed one yet >_<

its a HKS 2.8L with TO4Z, and 710 @ the hubs, prob low to mid 600's ATW

you can find all the info you need in "SAUWA members rides" posted in about June this year :thumbsup:

I previously had another R33 GTR with 400rwhp and that ran 12.0 down the quarter ..

Well guys I went down Wed 14th with my R34 GT-T project complete and I was devastated when it crapped out on the first run ...

Not sure what the go is yet until I get it back on the dyno but basically it coughed as if starving of fuel and I felt as if I lost about 100hp through the mid range but ... here's the twist ... At about 6,500rpm it all comes back and spins the wheels like nothing is wrong

I'm confident there are no air leaks, checked out most of the fuel system but left scratching heads.

Runs fine just cruising around and even hits full boost according to the gauge when I boot it but it just runs like a stock skyline instead of a 342rwhp cammed RB25 haha

Oh well my pb still remains a 13.5sec but once I get the drama sorted I'll be back down with the now R888 tyres so hopefully they will make a big diff compared to my el' cheapo corsa tyres I had before.

By the way Richard, I am highly impresses with your car and thanks for that post! ;-) You must be a very happy man. Absolute awesome ride mate.

I wasn't going to get cocky too soon but ... I do have an RB25/30 conversion under way at Hyperdrive MS. So hopefully have that fairly early next year ;-)

Anyway, hope all is well guys and keep in touch

Thanks,

Brendan

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.

      GTR Festival (Aus) - 2025 - Stagea Alley

      By alexburns · Posted

      https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au

      Series 2 R33 GTS25T?

      By Skip33 · Posted

      Do I have a series 2 or has someone spent money to have a series 1/1.5 look like a series 2? Everything I have read says the series 2 came out in 1996. I have a car manufactured in December 1995. The exterior, engine and interior are all series 2 other than the dash facia is series 1. Paint code is also kr4 that I believe is only available on a series 2. I have a VX Vehicle History Report and it says Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Manufacture date: 1995-12 Make: NISSAN Model: SKYLINE Body: E-ECR33 Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Engine: RB25DET Drive: 2WD Transmission: F5

      I went to Repco to get them to test the battery using their tester (not a volt meter), alternator shows 14.3v when running, and when the car was off after the it was on full load I think it was 12.6v but the guy said it was all good. Terminals are all clean, no corrosion. Though I coulda sworn when I tightened up my alternator belt the car idles a bit higher and the steering wheel shakes a bit until it's warmed up. I wanted to confirm for the earth cable/s, are you referring to the 2 wires that are bolted onto the frame rail under the battery? I might be overthinking this a bit.
