Hey neil_se and -Joel-, fundamently to get a fwd off the line well u need slicks due to obvious traction problems, u guys have a clear advantage over us obviously due to the car being rwd! BTW my car weighs 1100 kg, a little lighter that an s13 but not much! But back on to topic, i think it'd be nice to build a serious ca to run those times down the quarter, but i don't think u'll do it with the low quality imprts we inherentily get. Just in general the silvia being an older car it will have a few miles on it and hence be i porrere condition, i.e trying to obtain 12's may be a task without blowing up the motor or rebuilding urs. If u were to rebuild urs, and go the aftermarket ecu, fmic, 3inch exhaust, VL T3, Custom manifold and 550cc injectors, then u'd definately have a very quick car able of the times u want. However the whole hassel of pulling the motor out and putting it back in which may make u think hey why not throw the rb in! Being a 6 the motor itself may be happier supporting similar powerr due to the fact that the same power only will be needed however it is spred of 6 cyl rather than 4 making it easier for u to mod it and not blow it up. Do the same mods to it as the ca, probably a t4 rather than t3 and it'll be a formidable street car!

Just a question boys? Why are we looking at torque for quartermile cars? Yeah i understand for a track car u may want some nice torque figures, but usually as u increase ur power ur torque follows it usually not an issue! I was going to say a ca with standard bootom ends should be able to pull a silvia into the 12's but i mean that more strength wise than performance building. I drive a FWD with a ca in it, non turbo ca20 pistons with and stock rods, ran 13.3 at 111.5 mph, on slicks with those miles, 12.5???i think so! Thats only at 15psi with stock injectors and a malpassi! Don't underestimate the ca! When u guys talk 12's to 11's u mean on slicks or street tyres? Cause if u do then yeah the ca may be pushing it, but the sr would also and i certainly think the rb would be to! Also why do u guys say things like "would require between 250-270rwkw" to get 11's??? I which car? silvia or skyline, ar a horse and carriage? Its quite abstract to say that as a 700kg car with 270 kw would run 10's where as a R33 with 270kw's would run 12's to 11's? Just food for thought?
