Is vct working correctly. That looks like pretty lazy response.

I was also thinking it appeared a little laggier then i would have expected, nice top end though. When it comes on it comes on hard.

If im honest i dont know whats up.

Dex is unsure also. Dunno where to go from here... Will give it a burst at the drags and see what i think

[Adz2332]

only thing i can think of is the rear housing is bigger than an .82

Is it?

If so get a .82 ASAP.

[Adz2332]

easiest way to measure, identify etc?

[Adz2332]

Currently shimming the diff as a stop gap and having a half cage mad. pics of the cage soon

[Ben C34]

Have you checked cam timing yet?

[Adz2332]

na i havent maate, its been at the cage place a week or so now

Just bought these r33 GTR guards for it also today

[Adz2332]

Got the car back with the half cams cage done late last night

going away on holidays wed for 3 weeks... so will check the timing n what not when i get back

[timmy_89]

Cage looks great.

[sammi_d]

Agreed! Looking real nice with the build!!

[Adz2332]

Well i cant take a trick.

Took both cars down to the drags sat. And both went poorly!

The torana had 2 runs in and on the second run broke the casting around the alternator and had to coast it home as it was getting hot.

And worse for the Skyline. 1st gear and second gear ran beautifully. But as soon as you but it into 3rd, or 4th, it coughed spluttered and backfired. No acceleration and breaking down something shocking. needless to say nearly $1500 worth of tunning and its still not right. Unsure what the problem was...

So the torana ran a 12.1 which was shocking and the skyline a 13.5 which again was no where near it for either! Only positive is 13.5 isnt bad for coasting from just over the half way point... hopefully see a high 11 out of it

Back to the drawing board tho!!

[Adz2332]

and still cant work out why its laggy

[iruvyouskyrine]

Without reading anything in the thread. Main reasons for it being laggy.

Exhaust restriction, cam timing, poor tune, VCT issue. It will most likely be one of those.

Thanks mate, will take it somewhere else to get a second opinion on tune etc.

haha defs not an exhaust restriction as it only has about 3 feet of exhaust

[Adz2332]

Long time coming but i got the car tuned, again. This time by a different tuner and to say it was tuned badly seems an understatement.

Havent had a chance to take it out to the drags again but have a drift prac day coming up in 3 weeks i think, so will test it out then

attached the new dyno print out

[timmy_89]

Good curve!

[Ben C34]

Much better.

Should be fun.

[Adz2332]

Well took it drifting sat.....

could be over kill for me trying to learn lol...

Jumped in a few other cars with much less power and some MUCH more responsive and made learning easier.

But damn was it fun / fast!

The clutch either let go at the end of the day or the spoigot is sticking or something. so will have to fix that. but the poor little thing got a hammering and ran well all day.

The tidy up will start soon. trying to source a r33 gtr front bumper and also some head lights....

Will post pics as i can find them
