hey col what where your 60ft time because if your running 131mph your 60s must be real bad (like 3)

i do 2.2 60ft and still manage to run 12.7 @ 110mph

cheers

joe

Yeah my 131mph pass was a 2.8 60 foot and i missed 2nd gear for a split second...

Col - you won't spin the MT 255x50x16 drag radials, I'm using even smaller 225x50x16 Hoosier radials and provided I heat them up properly I can't spin them - do easy 1.7's 60" on both of these tyres.

Yeah i hope so... Ill have a chat to them tomorrow...

The guy with the EAT IT Silvia was able to spin his 255's and i think he is on similar power...

So ill make a phoen call and see what they suggest...

I would ideally love to use stock 16" skyline rims, so the 225's would be the go, but I may need the width...

I have been doing some research tonight and found this on willowbanks website;

Sedans faster than 130mph (208 kph):

* Five-point harness required (incorporating crotch strap).

I was telling Shane last night, when I ran my 131mph pass an official met me at the bottom of the tower he looked in the car and noted on the time slip that there was no roll cage or harness. He then said if I break 130mph again than I would be asked to cease the event...

NOTE: I thought at the time he said 135mph and thats what I was talking about with Shane as I had not heard that rule before...

But the guy did mumble a bit, he may have said 130mph

He grabbed all my info at the time and took details like rego and colour and basic description of the car, he also kept my time slip putting all the info on the back of it and said to email to get a copy fo the slip...

Now i found this above about needing a 5 point harness...

:Worried:

I dont want to put a 5 point harness in, and I will have to change the seat and probablly put a cage in to make it all work properly... :happy:

What do you guys think???

if u wanna see what u can get out of ur car col, but dont want full time cage and harness etc. get a half cage (so u can remove it) get bucket seat that can accept harness, and get a harness, and just put them in when u go to the drags. therefore u dont have to get ur car re-registered as a 2 seater (u would if u kept the cage and bucket seat in) however, u can get adr/street legal racing harnesses and reclining bucket seats.

My 255s where spinning as they where on 20-22psi of tyre pressure - my tyre pressure gauge lied and i thought they where on 15psi...

The best 60 foot i have gotten out of them was a 1.60 with 16psi tyre pressure and i ran an 11.1@131mph like that - i didnt get an official talking to, but i did quit while i still had my stock box in-tact - damn sr20 gearboxes!

You need a few things for 130mph+ but if you dont crack into the 10 they shouldnt really bother you. I guess that will change now due to the recent fatality - so i wont be going back there for a month or two, which works out good cause i need to get a bigger tune put in...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
