I went down last night. The strip was cr*p in my opinion. Best i got was 14.1

Same with my mates Silvia who has got 13.6 before, couldnt crack 13s last night.

A few lines down there including a R33 GTST with GTR rims, kit and badges :P

And a white R34 GTT, with the worst bodykit i ever saw. The rear wing was terrible. (no offence just my opinion)

Oh and in the carpark was a R33 GTR N1....with plates [R33 GTR N1]

My suggestion is to wait until winter again. Unfortunately its 4+ months away, but hardly anyone turns up on the sunday day drag meets and the track will be heaps stickier cos hardly anyone is going down it. Every wednesday night drag, 3 times now, the track has been shithouse because 100+ cars are going down it and the sticky stuff just wears off. Last-time I went I had so much wheelspin and lack of traction from 1st to 3rd I almost had a close look at the concrete barrier (I think my tyre pressure was well above what it should be as well after the 3 runs I had done previously). So I think I'll wait to they start the sunday day drags again and go down with a tyre pressure gauge and a portable pump and let the rears down to ~20-22psi. Plus I'm sick of paying $30 to get in 4 or 5 runs, when the first sunday I went I got at least 16 runs.

I had 4 runs;

run1: [email protected]. 60' 2.449. 660' 9.323

run2: [email protected]. 60' 2.578. 660' 9.493

run3: [email protected]. 60' 2.466. 660' 9.467

run4: [email protected]. 60' 2.592. 660' 10.956

On the last run I crossed into the other lane and which time I took my foot off the accelerator and corrected the car and then put my foot back down. I'm sure its due to way too much tyre pressure on the last run and lack of sticky shit on track. Just prior to my 4th run some guy put his into the wall from the same track I was in. Rev210 ran 2 x 14.3's, then dropped his tyre pressure to 20psi and ran a 13.8. Our cars are reasonably simular in the way they are modified. So I'm gonna wait till sunday day drags again and drop the pressure and try again.

13.9 last run

mate lent some potenza race compound tyres traction was heaps better. but didnt seem to have the topend pull it had before.

back to drawin board in turbo department.

What boost are you running?

I have some experience with different turbo mixes PM me if u like

The Key is to keep what youve done on the comp side and hiflo the exhaust side I have T4 2.16 inch ex wheel but this is slightly too big as it looks like ive missmatched it and will need an external gate. Go between a T3 wheel and a vtrim T4 and should be sweet so u dont have to change dump or feeds by keeping same ex housing :P

So not quite in the 13s yet....

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
