Sa Cars Spotted Thread!

[SR910]

I was talking about the japanese cars such as the HKS gtr and other tuning house full drag cars. I can undersand keeping a street car manual. But i dont know why say for example the hks gtr is manual still, it could pick up alot of time going to a set up auto even tho the development for that would be a long time int he making.

[whatsisname]

Matt, I was thinking about putting a powerglide in the GT-R, yeah and then putting a 350 Chev it in with a Ford 9-inch... what do you reckon??

Hell yeah mate! But keep the RB26 in there, just whack a blow-through triple Webber carbie set-up on it.

SR910,

Yep I 100% agree with you re the HKS drag car & the like. The HKS car uses an air shifted box doesn't it? I'd have thought it would be reasonably good anyway?

[SR910]

the auto would help it get off the line well, say a 7,000 stall would do nicely!

[32godzilla]

7 grand stall, shit that only leaves 1k rev range on my car! Munro's would be allright revving to 10K.

Just couldn't drive a skyline with an auto, it just seems wrong. Although in my Torana days I had a turbo 350 with full manual valve body, shift kit and high stall....

And it still only ran 13's!

[SR910]

But munros is the 3 litre stroker so so its limited to "only" 10,000 if thats the red line i wouldnt know. But i think the fastest gtr's int he world run the 2.7 or so L strokers so they still can keep the huge revs?

I have heard of 12,000rpm redlines for 2.6/2.7 bottom end - crazy shit, I have owned motorbikes that didnt redline that high:)

[hippy]

i would just like to add that those drag car autos must be different from the stuff we see in normal cars ... cause the skyline auto is crap house friggin slow as ... i want a manual

[TIMMMAYYY]

thats why they make automatic shift kits hiep!

[Steve]

hippy, shift kit and a high stall converter. With a decent high stall converter you will be able to get some awesome launches:)

Actually, just got HPI no. 39. The cover car (QLD R33 GTS-T) has a race prepped tri-matic in it, has run 10.2 on slicks. So yeah, auto's good for 1/4 mile, but not for flogging through the hills.

[EnricoPalazzo]

Hiep is too scared to go over 100 haha.

[hippy]

actually too scared to go over 50
