Had great night last night, took the GTR, E55 & our mate brought his 2003 M3.. and I finally got a clean pass with the GTR "not a good one" but we were still happy. The E55 was the biggest suprise, we thought high 12's low 13's and on its first run with ESP on did a 12.56 (on Comfort Setting =Soft Suspension), the best was a 12.4 @115MPH (on Super Sports Setting =Hard Suspension??go figure), The M3 "Manual" did 1 run at 13.34 @104MPH. The best time we got with the GTR was a flat 12, but shifted into 4th way way way to early (5grand) and had a 118MPH, with a high 1.9sec 60ft.

It was obvious traction played a big problem, for the GTR, with launches varying between 5000-6500rpm. But what was apparantley impressive to others were our first 2 runs. Our first 2 runs were a 12.2 & 12.3, with 60ft's in the 2.1's, but our MPH were around the 122's~. A few people we spoke to were saying with MPH like that the car is capable of an easy low 11, some were saying Hi 10??? WTF??? Trying to be a little realistic, we though at least a high 11, maybe mid 11.. I'm hoping someone can explain alittle further on the "MPH" figure.

Also, it was Nice to me Ulyisis :D.

Nice times Simon.. the E55 must go hard :D

the MPH figure is your trap speed which some people use to estimate what your car's HP / torque output is. Depending on a number of factors like gearing, tyre diameter, etc. it is possible to calculate an estimated quarter mile time based on your trap speed (MPH) and HP output and power/weight ratio.

:D

Was keen to get out there mate but after the sly trip to Winton was feeling pretty ordinary. Glad I stayed off the track.

Rob was the guy from Creatd who tuned my car Weds. I thought he was bringing the green/purple chameleon Lancer 1.8 with 300+fwkw as he hadn't had time to sort the GTR. Did it have one of the lights cut out for air?

Anyway sounds like you had some fun and nice times. So sorry to disappoint.

yes, I remember pissen myself about that headlight :D I said you surely don't drive around with that light like that?? he reckons it's been like that for over a year or so with no problems. But, gotta say, that is one hell of an interior job he's done.

my best time for the evening was 12.2 @ 115mph. my biggest problem was my 60' times. the best i could manage was constant mid 1.9's. on my last outing i was in the low 1.8's, so i need to work on my launches there. on some launches i had trouble with axle tramp.

saw a couple of other skylines as well but didnt see their times.

nice to meet ya mesh. hopefully next time we'll get 1.8 60 footers!

      Rb25det s1 igniter pin out

      By EndZee · Posted

      Hello, im asking about this guy - coil igniter on rb25det series 1 r33 s1 engine. I need to know if pins on coil side indicate coils itself from 1-6 or it’s firing order so pin nr1 goes to 1st fired spark plug:(1pin-1firing spark, 2pin-5order firing spark, 3-3, 4-6, 5-2, 6-4…)   photo: https://files.fm/f/k9pdug38uq

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By dyl33 · Posted

      Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.
