Which car at any one moment can produce the most seat sticking G force at one moment? And I mean backward sucking force, not sideways.

For daily driving, this what I enjoy most. A good, strong, sudden squirt. Rather than the potential to travel at high speeds, a quick 0-100 or handling.

I've heard S13s are quite good at this due to their power to weight ratio and their more "aggressive" boost, whereas a Skyline tends to have a more spread power curve. Is this true?

What other cars are good at this? Evos, WRXs?

Just curious more than anything, but definitely something I'll consider when off my P's.

Thanks.

shitload of power. light car. and enough grip to get it off the line quick enough. AWDs are synonymous for the feeling you have described. they have enough grip to jump out with urgency, reasonably light and the jap AWD variety aren't too $$$ to make the necessary power.

i have a friend with just under 300kw at the rear in a S15 silvia. great car. intense in gear. but off the launch its hopeless. tyres/camber/suspension/lots of practice has to be perfect to get it off the line with intense G Force.

of course more $$$ machines will do it but i take it you are talking street legal/driveable?

I'm not referring to just launches (although this is probably where most G's are felt). What I mean is if I've accelerated slowly off the lights up to 20-60kph then decide to stomp it which car has the most rapid acceleration at that point.

Yeah, I mean street legal.

Thanks for the response.

you need somthing with instant response & TORQUE then, no point havng 11ty billion killerwasps in a car if its laggy, somthing like a rb25det with a hks 2530 on it.

The dyno numbers wont impress anyone but it will be savage on the street.

An EVO (stock) is good in the first couple of gears, after that it kinda dies down a bit, not that impressive.

A Supra in TTC mode with a few mods can give *extreme* boost hits once you hit 2500-3000rpm, but very bad for traction. Think in-gear, 3rd gear wheelspin, 18 psi, on 295's, no probs ;)

An R34 GTR with stock (or close) turbos gives a decent boost hit but you have AWD to take care of the traction issues!

If you want instant torque from down low, obviously a supercharged V8, or maybe a Supra in sequential mode with high(er) boost is the way to go!

It sounds to me like you're after big midrange torque. A turbo is perfect for this. A V8 has big torque everywhere but because of this it may feel "flatter" and not as quick. That's why Supras in TTC mode often *feel* quicker than SEQ mode but really aren't, because the area under the curve is less, plus when you hit that boost you just get wheelspin. But dayem, it's fun to drive!! :happy:

Something light with a medium sized turbo (in relation to the engine capacity) would be the best bet for what I'm looking for in a daily driver?. So that if I want sudden, massive acceleration (whilst already moving) all I have to do is drop a gear or two, hit boost and wrestle the road for traction?

Any light RWD turbo car can achieve this with the right set up, tune and tyres. Whether it be a Silvia, Skyline, Supra or whatever?

To answer my own question: the highest G's would be achieved by a worked sti, or Evo launching hard, or a lightweight car with a monster turbo (like a T88 on a Supra) finally coming onto boost, but for the most responsive hard acceleration you simply want big engine capacity, ie V8s.

Did I get that all right?

Thanks guys.

i know what you mean about the power curve on a standard skyline, gtst's- r32's give you more of a hit when you come on boost, r33 and r34's dont give you as much of a punch but if yu take out that 5psi until X rpm out of the equation and have it on 7psi or wind it up a little bit they can be quite punchy, just keep the standard cooler or use an r34 gtt cooler until you actually need a bigger one because with low boost, smaller turbo and a big fmic you will notice the response difference between the smic and a fmic

Street wise - Friend of mine, Evo 9. Upgraded turbo, usual other mods, bit shy of 300awkw from memory...

I have not been in a more savage car. Simple as that. The launches and response is second to none.

Even with the stock turbo (it was making what, 230awkw @ the time)

I've been in cars from 1000kg's to 600rwkw GTR's... Nothing compares as it pins you to the seat hard everytime.

A HSV WH Grange with the 300kw engine has some ridiculous torque at around the 60-80kph speed...

My dad has stomped on it moving onto a highway onramp,

I got sucked back into the seat and saw 140kph very quickly! It just squats and takes off no traction issues at all!

Its very quick from lights aswell.... at the time of production, although being the heaviest HSV it was also the 2nd quickest in the fleet, second only to the GTS

The auto gearbox on the grange has alot to do with it tho.... especially quick with shifting through the gears very fast!

How much cash do you have to spend? I can't see many 'just off their P's' guys being able to afford a 300awkw evo 9 lol. Although wouldn't it be nice!!

I reckon if you don't wanna spend heaps n heaps of cash for something nice n fast, do what i did and get a bike :)

And that's a 600. If you really have really big nuts jump on a thou :)

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
