Thanks buddy....

I got a set of semi slicks last night so ill be heating those babies up!!!

Any tips??

I dont know, i havent ran mine yet those RA1's.

Give it plenty of revs, ease out the clutch and then slam those gears. I wanna see a 12.

Id love to see a 12... i know the car is capable, it will just be the driver that isnt!!!

Didnt have a very good night at all....

Ran a 13.8 best time and had about 12 runs!!

As stupid as it sounds i must have been backing off before the end because mid track i was really moving but by the end the numbers just didnt work out...

I ran another R33 a few times, only mods he had were exhaust, cooler, safc and .8 bar boost... pulling 190rwkw!

It was good to compare, here was one of our runs:

Me:

60ft 2.375

660ft? 85.41

Et 13.813

Mph 105.38

Him:

60 Ft 2.436

660ft? 78.35

Et 14.157

MPH 105.55

As you can see I had a better 660 ft? or 1000ft time not sure which one it was but he had a better ET.... it doesnt make sence...

That was a bad run for me, i had a best of 2.1 60ft and 660 or 1000 ft of about 87mph but the Et was never under 13.8 sec??

Any suggestions? I think im going to have to go down again soon and this time keep the power down after the time posts and beyond!

The car seemed drive fine and pull really hard... mid track it was really moving compared to other R33's....

Any help is appreciated guys..

Cheers

It was my first time and by the time i realised i may be backing off short it started to rain... so i guess i wont know till i run again which will be soon!!! but im positive i could see the time flash before i backed off...

Then again i didnt keep an eye on the boost guage so who knows, it may have been a boost problem!

Anyway, ill have to wait and see on the next Calder trip!

With 105mph, it doesnt seem like you were backing off. 105 is good for very low 13s or high 12s...

60ft time seems to be your problem considering you were using slicks. Practice your launches :D

105 isnt bad but i was running another R33 GTST with stuff all mods and he was getting higher ET's... the figures dont add up as he only has 190rwkw and i have 244 rwkw!! surely my ET would blow him away even with a worse 60ft time... i also had a better 60ft time and got a 13.8 where he go a 14.1 and his MPH was still better!

Mid track my Speed way quite a bit higher than his and by the end he was just faster than me... so there is either something wrong with the car or i was backing off becasue i was redlining every gear....

I would have expected a mid 12 with a good 60ft and at least a 110mph pass...

It was my first time and was great fun so im going to head down soon to get me that 12 and learn how to launch her!

Definately you where backing off with 85mph half track, my best was 89mph half track and i finished with 113mph. I've done it before as it doesnt really show you where the finish line is as there are 3 sets of lights.

Might head down with you if you wait a few weeks and im planning on a real low 12 or even possible 11

yeah somethings not right seeing as my gfs soarer with nothing but a catback and pod ran a 13.8 and my R32 with stock cooler, stock engine and just 14psi, ecu tune and exhaust ran a flat 14... all with crappy street tyres.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
