As for the gt-r going pop.. hopefully that'll stop the whiney sooks always complaining about the "trevs" breaking down on track HAHA [/b]

It only looks like there are more trevs breaking down cause there are more trevs racing.

Per head of population the 'ricers' probably have more breakdowns than anyone. Take my last visit, cooked the clutch and blew off a vacume hose.

[Hicks]

Someone say they blew a clutch down there??

Yeah, it bogged down on the start but picked itself up and screamed off. Made some bad noises half way down the track and gave off a puff of smoke towards the end of the track. Word through the grapewine is a busted gearbox and engine. The scuff marks on the front bumper were there when it turned up, so not related to the drag run. I have its run on video if anyone here (or from speedworks) is interested in seeing it.

What did it munch before?

apparently this is the 2nd stroker jun engine speedworks have had to build. would like to know more of excactly what let go as i was thinking about going for jun engine componetry dunno now

Buy the JUN gear from taka kaira. Then get Chris Mills or southside to build the motor for you. Build just as well cost half as much.

Like all good drag motors, things go bang then you know your on the right track for better times:D

V SPEC, the only reason you beat me is cause I had my 19's on.  

13.74, beat that mother f#cker. :lol:

Yeah the only reason was the wheels. not that his car is faster and as more potential, oh yeah 13.74? mother focker? hmm i know im impressed.

Typical arrogant r33 driver :bahaha:

Dude, settle down buddy I think hicks' is just diggin at VSPEC coz he has the potential to run better, but can't.

Therefore hicks is running faster times

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Hey Kym, yeah sure I have the potential to run better, but with a 14.8 under your belt I think you need to come practice with me also. January 8th I'll be down there, to beat Hicks 13.74, and I expect to see you come and get flat 14's, deal.

Nothing Hick's can say will piss me off, we had a great night draging. He was stoked when he was given a 13.4 slip, but then we realised it wasn't his, oh well. Hick's makes excuses for his poor effort that night, as do we all, but I won that night so I don't give a toss about the times.

Plex was ok tonight pretty warm and the track was average at best.

I got a 13.4 at 109 mph 2.5 60 foot, i still need to learn how to launch with big turbo though.

On the way home i raced this white r33, had a cypher *cough* sticker on it and what seemed like either an external gate or a screamer pipe, pulled pretty hard.

I think i raced a couple of people from here as well...

Good work...

what snail have you got in their mate?

Hicks gave me that 13.4s slip to me and said check it out.........lol

After i just saw him do a 14.1something

Ah well maybe next time and some more power !!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Hi Macka,

Yeah Hicks got so excited, even he couldn't believe his luck, but seeing as I beat him and my time wasn't anywhere near that we thought something was wrong. Apparently 2 no.47 cars had been assigned, so the guy with the other no. 47 must have been saying, "A 14.1, what the f#ck is wrong with my car tonight" and probably went home in disgust.

Damn straight I'll be there... I need practice too flat 14's should be mine with 10psi

Gotta find a "xmas has left me bone dry" cheapo boost-up solution... anyone got an old turbosmart tap thinggy lying around ??

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Kym,

If you come to the track I'll just put a simple bleed valve in there for the night, it'll take 2 mins, then at the end of the night you can go back to normal, only cost is you getting the flat 14.

which blown ls1 would that be?

It was a VT s2 with an LS1, dunno what sort of blower, big cooler 3 1/2" thick, and about 600 or more square. Very professional job, semi slicks, wouldve expected more out of it.

if this is the "irrigation pipe" off the bottom hose on the factory boost solenoid, forget it. it doesnt work

I have no idea why. it just doesn't move from the 6psi setting..

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Have you taken the boost restrictor out, it definately works, your probably not doing it right. I made mine run full boost with a bleed valve, but now I have a Blitz SBC, much better.

See'ya:burnout:

[macka]

It was bloody hot the other night i think everyone suffered...

Strich9ine if Paul taps into your wastegate line boost has to increase...

Just make sure your plugs are gapped to .8 just incase u ping or miss with the extra boost, u dont want those troubles if u are leaving the boost increase to the last minute..

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Macka,

Don't worry it'll all be covered by the warranty, won't it Kym?:bahaha:

Trust me, I know what I'm doing. I will accept no responsibility.

See'ya:burnout:

[ix9]

okay,

placing a bleed valve on the bottom pipe of the factory boost solenoid to bleed off a measured amount of air does SQUAT.

Of course if you tap into the wastegate hose it'll work. but that's not where the factory boost solenoid is.....right ?

and can someone explain this "boost restrictor" ?? where is it? can I take it out now ? I didnt think the RB25's HAD a restrictor ?

and gapping plugs to 0.8mm... riiight... that involved taking off the black cover off the engine right ? removing IC piping to get to the freakin thing.. quite a bit of work ? or is there an easier way ?

-Kym.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

There is a olive placed in the air line, restricting the amount of air flow. You end up completely removing the air line to the solenoid. The idea is to trick the solenoid into thinking it is not producing boost, it will be getting atmospheric pressure, so it will keep increasing the boost.

Yes gapping the plugs can be a chore with the factory manifold, but if you plan on running higher boost, now or later, then it will need to be done. Gives you something to do over Christmas.

I cant remember ive chucked all that in the bin U have to tap from solenoid to wastehgate.....thats it..

I cant remember any boost restrictor althogh it does have that airflow cut but i think thats up towards the 13-14psi mark with standard turbo.

Changing plugs is a bastard compared to other cars...as u can soon gather..All the intake pipes off, Coil cover cap screws off, take out the 8mm bolts that holds coils on..pull them all out in 2 peices, take plugs out and change them or clean them and check gaps

Assemble It will only take a couple of beers then your done

That's the EXACT form of time measurment I was after when I wondered how long it'd take.....

but knowin me it'll be more than a couple of beers, it'll end up in a 6pack and the car still sitting there 2 days later...
