Hey Nick I know I will be telling you about it for at least that long. But not hanging my hat on this as will do better just with what I learnt about things last night and knowing what set up re tyres. Also changing suspension in it to fully adjustable suspension including shock height. The TEIN shocks I have you can't adjust the overall height only through the spring height which then compresses the tender spring and main spring and makes less travel as well as stiffer. We had to raise the rear almost 10mm as the offset of the new drag wheels were sticking out and we didn't want it to hit the guard, but now it was not squating as well.

10.8 ??? When was the last time the WSID timign equip was calibrated:)

Awesome effort. I know if a ZED in the states that i think runs 8s, but is a full house chassis etc drag car. Could be one of the 5 fastest ZEDs around, just got to get some rego for the thing John:)

Great effort again, but enough of this drag rubbsih, when are you bringing the thing to Sandown or Phillip Island, there are some heavy hitting GTRs down here

Yes there is a zed Escort Racing 7.45 sec 183mph.

Rego, why so I can lose my license?

Yes I might have to go somewhere where there are some fast GTR's and none in Sydney, although a lot of beer talking.

I will be happy to have the fastest Zed or GTR circuit times and drag in Australia, and throw in the drift to stuff tings up.

I would like to see some of these drag boys drift or circuit race, even with their cars set up, could be dangerous.

OMG 10.8 I thought you would need to get your mechanic to drive it to that sort of time

No, that's 10.7 :P

give up on the straight line stuff John

More like, "Now throw the gauntlet down to the drag guys, John."

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.

      On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.

      The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
