Thnx Matt :D

umm to be honest I haven't really stretched my car beyond 3rd gear yet :confused:

all my runs with other cars have been from standing starts and i usually ease my pedal well after 2nd gear (around 120k+/hr) ...never really hit 3rd gear (too afraid of speeding fines)

So i dont really know how fast i can get to with my 3rd before changing to 4th...Will i get to 4th gear with the 1/4 mile run?

sorry for so many *newbie* questions :bonk:

Andy,

Adelaide International Raceway is straight up Port Wakefield Rd heading out of town, you can't miss it on the left hand side.

It's ~$50 to run all up, for as many runs as you can fit in.

Yep you need an ADR approved helmet, & you must wear long pants/long sleeved shirt.

180km/h is ~111.85mph, which is a good enough terminal speed (TS) to run into the 12's with decent traction.

You probably won't hit the limiter before the finish line but you "may" before your terminal speed is read.

TS is an average of the last 30' of track before the line & 30' past the line (I think?) so your elapsed time (ET) won't be effected but if your going quick enough you "may" hit the limiter after the line in that 30' during the TS reading. Hope that made sense :D

On my last run (Nov01) I ran 13.1 @ 109.5, & from memory I backed off just after the line doing well over 180km/h, I probably would've got a higher TS if I'd kept my boot into it a touch longer :(

My car when stock (or close too) hit the limiter @ ~190+km/h so I think you'll be fine :)

WTF? How did my post end up after yours Andy? Oh well never mind:)

Fire away with the questions mate I'm happy to help if possible :)

Yeah you'll need 4th just before the line, unless the 8k rev range of the RB26DETT can get you over the line in 3rd? It might be worth asking the GT-R guys who drag race their GT-R.

All,

Something to keep in mind for drag strip first timers. The AIR drag strip is totally different to launch on compared to the average set of lights! You'll need more rev's off the line @ AIR or you "will" bog down badly :mad: It's a huge shock to feel how quickly your car takes off (or feels like it is) on a grippy VHT prepped surface :mad: Big rev' launches also put more strain on the drive train due to the lack of wheel spin that a road surface would normally reduce!

Hey Guys,after going to the drags sunday i was thinking that we should go to the next meet where hopefully Johns R33 GTR will be there to crack the 9`s.We can be like the support racing to the main event.We can go out and have some fun aswell as support John to hopefully a record run.

We`ll have the best tuners in Adelaide(TILBROOKS) out there so we can nag em(only joking Martin).

LETS GET AS MANY SKYLINES OUT THERE AS POSSIBLE.

I have atleast 3 CAMS/ADR approved helmets that i can loan.

all i want to know is when is the next meet?

I'd be up for that. I think that from memory that the street meets are on the first weekend of every month. It would be cool to get a dozen or so Skylines out there. Now I just have to get my clutch sorted.

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
