I don't think you have 200rwkw if your getting 2.1sec 60ft times and only running 13.9 ET...
Their is an absolute sh1tload more to it than just "power = xyz ET". 60ft, midrange vs topend, quickness of gear shifts, track conditions are just to name a few.

An example would be last week I raced against an SAU member in identical cars whom I believe has about 50hp more than my car yet I was doing 4mph quicker TS than him, but he had a 0.2sec quicker ET. Using your theory he should have a higher TS than myself but the reality was he was nailing his gear shifts where as I was having difficulty.

Anyone that thinks 1/4 mile racing is as simple as dropping a clutch and putting your foot on the throttle for 400m is kidding themselves.

as an example I ran 13.7 ET with a 60ft of 2.4 and I have about 200rwkw with similar mods to yours...

leads me to my next question what was your MPH?... as I reckon 2.1 ain't that bad with street tyres and should be good for low 13s ET

god damn it....dont people READ these days ????????????????

I said it was a happy dyno......and im doubtful of that figure myself...

Sorry....I know your just trying to help but sick of people repeating the same shit over and over again...

hahhaha and john....your more than welcome to try driving my car.....but you bend it you mend it.

Guarantee you wont be able to break 14s..... :tongue:

There is obviously more to drag racing than just the car or just a power figure.

Why else would Paul and Stacey be 1 full second apart in the same car?

Why did I get 13.8 with 189rwkw and 13.5 with 228rwkw?

Why did Brenden - ECR033 - get a 12 with 200rwkw? Sam got one at that power too from memory.

    • Hi. I need a new clutch for my gearbox. It is a factory smallbox behind RB20DE NEO. What options do i have? If iam not mistaken the gearbox should be the same as in R32 GTST and Nissan S14/S15? I found some Xtreme Clutch Stage 1 for S14/S14 (i dont know if you know the brand) (UK) OR...is the clutch same as in the bigbox from RB25DET?   Thank you!

    • Is actually easier than you might think. Assuming you have a spot, youfab up the branch, then just hang a longer than you can fit length of pipe down from there, and chop bits off piece by piece and decde which length was the quietest/nicest, then just put that length up in the place where it will fit. Clever folk can actually make like a trombone slide type arrangement so you can just play it like an instrument to find the best length.

    • Necroing this thread in 2025 to say thanks! The Manual for the m60 still has the wrong instructions and says to only press button 2 with ignition on. You are a champ, thank you.
