Hey riggaP, what could be some possible causes of a low mph. I'm kinda suspecting that my boost may not have been getting to 12psi in higher gears. Could this be the problem?

:rofl:

Do you have any aftermarket engine management? If not it could be too much boost. The stock 33 ECU dumps shitloads of fuel when you start running more than 10psi. A piggy back is probably the way to go (ie SAFC etc). You should get more out of the coola too.

that was the 1st time i ran my car on the qtr mile and i got a best time of 13.8..

mods i have are: hks pod, exhaust (stock dump pipe), adj damping on rear suspension which i dont know what brand it is....

i ran with 225/50/r16 silverstones at 20psi at the back

and i need a new clutch to get better launches

Not a bad time for the mods. What 60' and mph where you pulling?

i'll type out the time slip just cos i cant scan it at the moment

(im on the right btw)

Reaction Time: 0.9781; 0.7493* (time diff 0.2288)

60ft: 2.3315; 2.4162* (time diff 0.1441)

330ft: 5.9634*; 6.2632 (time diff 0.0710)

660ft: 8.9389*; 9.1797 (time diff 0.0120)

660ft mph: 84.76; 82.57

1000ft: 11.4674*; 12.7623 (time diff 1.0661)

ET: 13.5786*; 13.8082 (time diff 0.0008)

MPH: 107.71; Error

NB. * denotes leader

yeah well i didnt get a trap speed, and u can see the big jump between 660ft and 1000ft in the time differential, i thought itd be due to the stuffing up my 2nd to 3rd gear changes....

is the elapsed time wrong? if i didnt engage 3rd gear, that means my car would be roughly doing 100kph when it was time to go into 3rd, which i think wouldve ocurred between the 330ft and 660ft mark, but at the 660ft mark theres only 0.012sec diff

ah coool should be good!!

That last run pissed me off so much cos I had to race in the right lane - there was no bloody traction down that side, then after my tyre warmup they made us wait for so long - tyres got cool and just didnt hook up at all.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
