Ha guys,

Just got back from drag wars at the motorplex ,i took my gtr up for a run to see how it would good. Its running 320hp ball bearing garett turbos, tomei cams and cam wheels,rb 20 air flow ,700cc sard injectors and apexi power fc which has put out about 518hp at the wheels at 18psi but as been tapered back a little to about 500hp. The rest is all std.

So my second trip to a drag strip every in any car i managed a

elaped time 11.332sec

terminal speed 125.17mph 201.44kph

60" 1.757

330" 4.873

660" 7.391

1000" 9.524

I felt pretty happy with this as i was having a hard time great a nice lauch two much wheel spinning and a bit of shuddering but managed consistent 1.7 60" times,is this a reasonable time for wot im running as im very new the drag strip screen as the car was aim more for track day work

p.s any advice on getting good launches

Launch style depends on what tyres, clutch and suspension you are running:cheers

clutch is a multiplate unknown brand

tyres are zr275/35/18 nittos not the r styles they use in japan

suspension std shocks and slighty lower heavy springs at best guess

ps i got a feeling one of the rear shocks could be a bit dicky (will be checking condition soon)

Good to see Peter, I assume you got George in Bunbury to finish off the tune and continue development.

1.7 is quite good for a road spec GTR running road tyres. Anything less than that will probably require extreme clutch abuse on your setup.

Cheers

Ha Ken,

We did the tune at georges but i did the number crunching and cam adjustment george drove and between us we got to where we are now the tomei cam are awesome we pick up over a 100 hp just tuning them believe it or not and i am hoping to out it back on dyno soon to do further tuning but this time not for top end but for refining the rest of the map to best posible throddle responce and feel ,not that there anything wrong with it at the moment .

Ken how the gtr you got from over east going done much with it .

question for you ken i was talking with anthony i think a nice little asia guy with a r32 gtr works for sst (not 680hp anthony) he has done a single throddle body convestion on the gtr and says it improve throddle responce for him ,wot you think of the idea

If you dont mind me asking, what profile are your cams and what revs are you making max power at?

Gilly

My GTR is sold to David( Bobbo) on this forum .

The guys name is Aidwin and each to there own on the conversion.

Really can't see how individual throttle plates right next to the valve are going to give a better , crisper response than one big right at one end of the manifold...

Was it done as a mod by itself or in conjunction with a few other mods at the same time?

Cheers

tomei 260 9.15mm lift poncams they bolt staight in awesome cams for street and track use puts just a nice lump edge on idol (just slight) and makes 1600 plus trackable effort from at about 4600 and holds that right throught to about 7500

Was done by its self still running stock AFMs and air box, The car is so much more drivable and smoother at part throttle with out all the turbulance the 6 butterflys and shafts cause

with a nice power gain everywere. Next is remove the airboxes and meters and lots of dyno time.

12.2 with stock airboxes and turbos (1bar) and old worn stock motor with a novice driver is not bad.

Aidwin is one off SSTs apprentices and is logging every step me makes with this car and only making one change at a time.

Yeah sorry i am hopeless with names ,so wot are you driving now as the r32 gtr looked like a great buy and on the throddle body if he did anything else i'm not 100% sure but my only train of thinking was that went throddle shuts you pull a vacuvm on a much large volume so when it open your got it would pull the inishal shot very quickly over the very small volume of the std throddle body("maybe" only a thought i had last night when were talking). Anybody else tried this sort of mod out of interest.

ha steve,

novice driver i hope you didnt tell aidwin that hehe as he look to hard him self like a pro(top guy) ,i'm not sure if i'm aloud to ask this on here but wot the mod ~worth to get done as i enjoy track days etc and anything to help throddle responce is a good thing.Wot you think of the 11.33 steve running wot i am, like aidwin i battle for traction all night and i have only ever been on the strip once before.(if anyone novice its me lol)

Pete,

Great time mate! Way to back up those dyno mnumbers.

I've just installed my Tomei cams tonite. They Rock!

Great to hear have you just install or tuned them as well ,let me know how it all goes

518hprw = ~390kwrw

i think yes once you break into the tens cage and andra licence but if you ran one 10.99 i dont think they would be all over you ,more if you ran consist or depther into 10s or a high mph i think

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
