Since Beer Baron doesn't have either moderation or admin rights perhaps you should find someone else to abuse.

IM PERFECTLY AWARE OF THIS AND WAS NOT ABUSING HIM JUST GIVING HIM CHEEK

HOWEVER I AM INFACT ABUSING THE PERSON THAT HAD THE POWER TO DO THE ABOVE WITHOUT INFORMING ME THAT I WAS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING WRONG!

Thanks nv033

we know that the MINES 32 in Japan has done a 10.60 with 25/30's.

Theo had the Aust record, 10.78 with 25/40's

Some guy in NZ says he has done a 10.2? with low mounts? (but this is only hear say)............so until we are proved incorrect or someone goes quicker......lets say DIRT is the fastest 25/30 :(

So unless anyone can provide any evidence otherwise, TWO06L is the fastest low mount-equipped GTR in the world?

Sweeeeeet. Congrats again. :O

I'm not sure that you're comparing apples to apples, I mean the Jap cars are running Nitto's and probably pump fuel. Then again their tracks are also alot slower than WSID as well.

Having said that, it in no way diminishes the results that Paul & Stacey have got with their car - at the end of the day it's a very quick time for a combination that would perform well day to day or on the circuit :O I think if Cabin/Autosalon are still doing that car of the year with track and drag testing it would kick some serious ass (with a slight change in suspension, tyres, fuel and tune for conditions).

i wouldn't call that spuring people on quite honestly!  And its not the first comment he has made with that theme... and like you can't stand half a logo, i can't stand sexist people!

As i have said previously, no comment was meant to upset anyone, and i did appologise if it had..... unfortuantely the internet doesnt convey how something is intended very well. It was only meant to be a gee up, but if you felt it wasnt i will keep comments like that to myself from now on...

now Merli, pics or ban i say!!!!!

I'm not sure how you can differentiate these things. If they want to run different radials, good luck to them, that is their choice. Pump fuel? That is not a definite and it is also their choice. And how do you quantify that their tracks are slower? None of these things realistically effect the times run in that different people choose different tyres, fuel and suspension. The main comparisons are there for all to see in so much as everything else is on a fairly level playing field.

Also, I recall a certain GTR from Japan a few years back attended a drag meet a Willowbank and couldnt run any better than its best time of 7.67 :(

That's exactly my point - being realistic. Nittos are a slower tire, pump fuel is certainly a different brew from VP gear and WSID is classed as one of the world's quickest tracks due to surface, prep, altitude, gradient and location. The goat tracks that they run on in Japan... is just that. You don't see the Japs providing an alitude corrected time for their runs, which is one of the most blatant aspects of their strip. Even the launch surface of WSID is a calculated affair, there's no way in hell that any such thought went into what looks to be a disused air strip/part time fire trail that they run on in Japan. There was a debacle about the legitimacy of the HKS drag car's best time, since it was done in "private testing"... Oh and wasn't it raining for the majority of time the HKS car was at Willowbank? That footage of Mr. K. doing burnouts in the R33 is pretty cool. Ideal environment for record setting yes?

Heh but I know you already know these things :(

I am not really sure how grouping the 'ladies' together is meant to spur someone on? if you thrown the gauntlet down and challenge me.. fine! but making remakes like that are really unnecessary and can feel demeaning! thats all i'm saying!

merli!!!!  what tha!!!!  when do you take pics like that!!!  was that at drag day!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Sure was :(

Not my fault that you have the infinite wisdom to pull such a face when a camera is pointing in your direction :lol:

    • This was amazing and something I feel like a lot of younger enthusiasts, like myself, need to hear. I've been observing a local dyno shop spitting out 650-800HP RBs but when looking at their graphs, the car is basically dead until 5-6k RPM when it skyrockets.     I’ve decided to change my goal and go for that 450whp mark and aim for quick spool, responsiveness, and practicality (I can't afford my engine being a consumable, haha). Now, looking for the best suitable turbo for this application, I'm considering: • Garett GTX3076R Gen 2 ( .62 or .82) • Garrett GTX3576R Gen 2  ( .62 or .82), room for improvement later? • HyperGear ATR43SS2 ( .62 or .82) • Pulsar PSR3076  ( .62 or .82) • Pulsar PSR3576 ( .62 or .82), room for improvement later? Any recommendations? I know the HyperGear and Pulsar aren’t name brands but they’re sure budget friendly    
    • Can you bypass the damper as well, it can also fail
    • Oops, guess I accidentally deleted the last digit of the video ID. This one drives me nuts. VCT is such a big advantage for basic driveability and it costs very little to do. It's not like we're dealing with an E60 M5 with its dedicated high pressure VVT oil pump + hydraulic line carrying 1000+ psi and all that fun stuff. I also see a lot of people speak poorly about EGR and try to delete it in modern GDI engines. The problem is modern GDI relies on cooled high pressure EGR to improve timing margin at high load + RPM. So unless you're compensating for it by raising octane you have to completely retune when it's deleted.
    • Yeah, I was just trying to show on camera that the manifold is pulling enough vacuum through that hose to pull the diaphram in the stock fpr but couldn't really hear it on film.  Yeah, it's strange. Fuel should be by-passing through the reg to exit back into the tank thus reducing the fuel pressure: Sorry for my awful drawing here (I like to make diagrams to understand it better 🤪) The (temporary) fuel gauge is plumbed between the fuel filter and dampner. I've already eliminated the possible cause of restriction that the return line might have had and it's not that because I placed a long hose from the FPR (exit from the fuel rail), by-passing the 2nd dampner and return line, then straight into the filler fuel cap (as seen on my first vid). And it was still at 50 psi. Which means that I have a fuel restriction between the 1st dampner and the FPR.  Possible causes: Blockage/restiction in the 1st dampner: I know it's not this because I've swapped it out to a known working one from a spare complete neo engine sitting in the shed. Blockage/restiction in the Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR): Also, can't be this because I swapped it out to a known working one from the other engine.  Blockage/restriction in the fuel rail and fuel rail's lines: this could probably be the case. Maybe red rubber grease got in there when I changed the injectors (with new seals) a year ago? Who knows. The only way to know is if I take the bastard off and inspect it (or swap it to the other spare one), which I think I will just have to do.  Injectors causing a restriction in fuel causing high pressure? Could this be? I wouldn't think so? Because even if injectors were completely blocked, fuel would just by-pass them through to the FPR and exit? Let me know if I'm wrong though. Because if that's the case, it could explain some weird electrical shit where the injectors aren't opening enough or something.  Air bubbles in fuel rail? Can this be a thing? Could air get trapped inside the fuel rail and cause high pressure? Shouldn't though right? Faulty pressure gauge? I just grabbed this old pressure gauge that was sitting in our toolbox at work. I'm going to buy another gauge and see if I get the same result just incase. But it reads the priming correctly at 40ish psi. idk... The spare rb25det neo engine that we have in the shed came out of my brother's R34 that was working perfectly fine before we pulled it out to slap a rb30/25det neo in there. It also has the same xsprut 640cc injectors on the fuel rail still. So I might have to swap them out and see what it does. 😮‍💨
    • Yep, like how people insist VCT does nothing, delete them OR say how twin scroll is a waste of time.
