For anyone coming out to watch on the day, the Evo club and BMW club are having a lunchtime happy laps. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/443557-happy-laps-at-the-sprint-day-07-june-2014/

For reference, my first time with only 95awkw and only no handling mods fetched me 67 secs, all be it in a lighter car.

I think I should be around that mark, I'd like to get close to 60 but I'm not sure how feasible that is.

Probably not on street tires unless you are a gun driver, the R35's that i have seen do like 56-57 seconds, but never say never :)

Will be running RSR's on the day but an R compound would obviously be better. I think I lack the power to get really good times at QR..

Yer, im hoping for 62-63 on toyo R888's, but have you been to lakeside? Its so much better of a track, plus power doesn't make as much of a difference there, in saying that the sprint track and clubmans track at QR aren't to bad for low power cars either

Done lots of happy laps at LP and one sprint day that turned into a swim meet. I was running normal 595's that day so I think me best time was about a 79 or something.

thats not bad for wet lap on street tires, that would be a hairy out there near the cliffs and walls hahaha,

also i think there will be some really quick cars out there at qr next weekend, if you haven't heard of it gools evo should be out there, it runs like 52 seconds lol

Was very hairy, 595 are known for being total shit in the wet, some of our guys did some very good times though.

Hey Cadmoon, I know of 2 previous members in near stock 32 gtst's with suspension mods run around 63 to 65 seconds consistently. You should be able to do the same.

Now I have to do it or die trying.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
