I couldn't make it to the 'plex tonight, but I was on the phone to a friend during your second run and I got the good news as it happened :D Congratulations!

I hear no one stepped up to take the stock cooler, stock turbo title. C'mon fellas :P

Chris pretty much just drove it off the line the first time I think, the second and third he stalled her up a bit.

I dont think the 13.389 guy had a clue, he basically said that its the way it came in from Japan and he's only had it a while. He did mention that in Japan it had some extra stuff that was taken off, like the front mount.

oh what boost were you  

Oscar did a 13.67  silvia Ks after a burnout on stockies

His best before hand was about 13.9

Yeah it works for some. The problem is that some street tyres will lose 'chunks' when they get burnouts done on them and of course they get 'inflated' as they get hot so if you don't run a significatly lower pressure they end up over-inflated at the take off.

If I can manage to get down there tomorrow I'm going to try 19/20psi and burnouts to hopefully get less than a '15':D That is if my super cheap 205 rear tyres don't lose chunks of rubber and I don't drive like a wally.

Sure will. Everyone knows that the intercooler goes bad if you don't keep it in the fridge:D

I'm really only going down to beat everyone who lines up next to me (or at least try), going for times is not a luxury I can afford as I will be going straight from work and my boot will have the usual 100kg or so of crap in it. Besides I remember racing at Ravo's and the best part is having a 'legal' race with another hoon and having specators (even tho they say nasty things about how slow you are at least you can't hear them).:P

My rear tyres were old and super hard bridgestones

225/45-17's inflated to 32psi

Boost pressure is set at 0.8 bar

Cheers

Chris

    • @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline  
    • Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.
    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best. 
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
