Sydneykid. What is your point mate?

I said its LESS relevant. Not irrelevant! You know for a fact that you don't need the most power to win circuit races. Its possible to get a lot faster by spending all the money on the chassis with stock power. If I get a stock car and spend all my money on drag style suspension it will hardly get faster. Obviously you cant have a 1000hp engine in a stock car with shit driver and get awesome drag results. But you have to agree this 1000hp stock suspension car will be MUCH more successful at drag racing than it would at circuit racing. That is my point. There is simply no way to go fast in drag racing without huge power, you can't make up time with a well setup chassis if you don't have the power. Look at cars like lotus etc. They have fricking Camry engines in them and will FLOG skylines because they handle so well. Can this be used to compare the Camry engine to a RB26?

You really have to stop giving me a free ride to fun

What you are saying is only engine power matters

You can't go fast without huge power

So it doesn't matter how much your drag cars weighs, only how much power it makes

So it doesn't matter how aerodynamic your drag car is, only how much power it makes

What you are saying is if I stick a 1000 hp JZ into a bus it will still do the same ET or TS

as say a Tootees door car chassis

To quote a famous TV show "I don't think so Tim"

And I haven't even gotten into traction yet.

:thumbsup: cheers :wacko:

sydneykid you seem pretty defensive in your comments, but what do you have to show? how much money have you spent? You seem all talk mate, I wish one day u come across some of my mates single turbo Sups, i know a few single turbs sups that have upset alot of big cars on these forums. So don't be biased mate.

No problems, tell 'em to bring it on

I can be at Wakefield Park anytime they like

Let's make it a 30 lap challenge on road tyres

I'll even give them a lap head start

:thumbsup: cheers :wacko:

lets get a stock camry engined lotus to race him around the track. This will prove the TOYOTA CAMRY engine is better than an worked RB26. (according to his logic)

A quote from you

There is simply no way to go fast in drag racing without huge power

You build the fastest JZ you can with HUGE power

and put it in a bus (I am feeling generous, not a double decker or a bendy, a single decker will do)

I will race you in a standard Skyline

Wanna bet who goes fast and who doesn't?

Too easy, I am getting bored, like candy from a baby

:thumbsup: cheers :wacko:

Well you could always spend that money on weight reduction.

You dont need power to circuit or drag. Its just generally cheaper.

If you dropped 200kg's off a Skyline or Supra... regardless of its 11ty billion KW's, the car will go faster.

You dont have to have power to go fast, its that simple.

Power is not the be all and end all, its that simple.

How about Willobank, if you can beat a 10.1 @144mph on street tyres and a stock engine than we talking :]. Anything else doesn't inpress me. When you beat a 10.1 (with a stock motor), than he'll come and do some HAPPY LAPS for you :thumbsup:.

Had the money been spend on weight reduction and not outright power i bet the car runs the same time or better :wacko:

Running a time is great, good on you. What does it prove? Little.

You really gotta remember what you said and not get it confused with what I said.

Once more I have to quote you............getting tedious isn't it?

QUOTE(DennisRB30 @ 10 Jul 2006, 01:29 PM)

Anyone that argues MPH at the drags is not a good indication of an engines power potential............

Your the one who claimed MPH is a good indication of engine power

A statement that I totally dissagre with and have proven so with the bus example.

Stick a 1,000 bhp JZ in a bus and I bet it does lousy mph

Hell make it a 2,000 bhp JZ

:thumbsup: cheers :wacko:

Sydneykid.

You are being ridiculous and pedantic. Drag cars have minimum weights which racers try to aim for and no one is going to fit a 1JZ to a bus and aim for good quarter mile times. What are you on mate? Why did I fit my 2JZ to much lighter car than the Aristo my engine came from? Implying I don't know that light well set up cars go faster at the drags is ridiculous (specially since I already mentioned this obvious fact) and shows you have run out of relevant things to argue about in your quest to make me look stupid. It seems like you are taking my position on RB vs JZ as a personal attack and will post the most ridiculous crap like 1JZ double decker drag busses to try and burn me. What is wrong with you?

Come guys, we all know a drag calculators major inputs are MPH and weight to determine power. No need to go stupid.

What, it's all one way traffic?

He gets to choose first?

Who died and made him king?

Simple challenge, I bet my car is 10% faster than his at any circuit I choose

And his car isn't 10% faster than mine at any drag track he chooses

What shall we race for?

:thumbsup: cheers :wacko:

So whats the point of this thread again?

:D

Rattle the monkey's cage.......and steal his bananas :thumbsup::wacko::(

Sydneykid how old are you? ....oh wait, it says it in your user name, SydneyKID :(.

Sometimes when you are talking to juveniles you have to speak in their terms

Other wise they don't understand you

Aren't I clever that I can lower myself down to the necessary level?

Without you even suspecting?

Any time you want to challenge me on anything I write, please feel free to do so

But be prepared to put up or shut up

I don't put anything in writing that I can't support 100%

Check around

:thumbsup: Cheers :wacko:

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
