Modified Skyline 0-100 Times

[PM-R33]

Ahh the nittos, I some how missed that in the list

[Granthem]

I dont get how you 170rwkw 33s are pulling 0-100 in sub 5's.

Thats porsche/ferarri/lambo territory. With double the power and similar weight. And they get loads of traction, the standard tires are wider then my cars 4 tires laid side by side

I personally would take the gtech readings with a grain of salt

hey speaking of launches how's your clutch hanging on? cushion button @ over 260rwkw should be danger territory no?

I can answer that for you. Nearly identical setup as PM... and my Cushioned exedy button @ 250rwkw very quickly wore out with decent launches and some clutch popping

My car cant even chirp second anymore lol.

Glad we got onto the subject, any recomendations? I have been told exedy make a heavy heavy duty (yup, thats right, double heavy) non cushioned button that should be fine. I can get this for 500 bucks.

Talk to Dan at ERD about it, he can get good clutches at great prices through NPC, tell hime how much power you make and what you do with the car and you will get the perfect clutch for your needs

and i can answer that for you... as that is what i am running (with the upgraded GTR pressure plate... the guys at exedy said it will hold more power than a hyper single)

so far its 2000km old and has seen the GOR once and a motorkhana day (DECA) with 325rwkw

i love this clutch... its easy as all hell to launch and makes quick shifts a piece of cake.

for daily driving it is totally livable and i would happily reccomend to anyone

[PM-R33]

My clutch is perfectly fine. Been running it at this power level for probably 2 years now. No sign of it dying. However I don't do clutch kicks or limiter launches so that definetely helps.

Not sure how long it will hold at 300kw, but we shall see. Luckily the car is no longer a daily so should hold up for a bit of a squirt every now and then.

Did you only need the 4 pineapples? how hard is it to drop the sub frame to install this ? any ideas? I need to change my setup

hi guilt toy

i dont know the best setup, but i had centreline setup the pineapple diff cradle package on my car and from memory its on drag launch setup and its never been changed from that. from their documentation drag launch is really maximum traction, from memory mine is on that. i have std shocks still

[gwilkinson34]

On the note of clutches - I'm getting an Extreme clutch that Japanese Motorsport recommended - It's still organic but apparently should hold 300rwKw and still be kind enough for street use... can't remember the model off the top of my head...

Fingers crossed the car will be ready on Friday (which also happens to be my bday - nice present to myself! )

It's a piece of piss to do as you don't drop the whole subframe out since the bushes have a split in them so they just slip in. The kit will come with 6 bushes but you only use four, depending on which of the three setups you want.

just as i would take the exotic manufacturers' 0-100 claims with a grain of salt

that and the newer cars are getting into the low 4s and even high 3s (allegedly)

I've often heard stories of certain companies who get their WRC drivers *cough cough* to have a day at a dragstrip with an unlimited supply of new cars allowing them to run endlessly until they reach a time they are satisfied with...

[gwilkinson34]

Case in point: The VE HSV GTS (while still a cool car) Holden claim a 4.86s 0-100 but no independent reviewer has gotten it to go quicker than 5.5s (although that is with traction control on i believe...)

Yet people have endlessly tested new GTR to perform to the claimed 3.5-3.6 seconds

had to add that.

Excellent. Good news. Did you ask exedy for the upgraded GTR pressure plate? What does it cost?

Well if its doing 325rwkw ok then my power shouldnt even make it break a sweat. I'll order one shortly

I did actually read a review / comparison in Motor magazine a few weeks back against a Porsche GT3 in which they couldn't get the new GTR to go quicker than 4.5s 0-100 which i found very interesting... Most others as you say report around the 3.5 mark...

[cactus]

Not a chance in hell a 170rwkw Skyline is pulling sub 5 second 0-100kmh sprints.

Thats like a kid at school once telling me:

Kid - "Hey Matt, my car does 100km/h in 4.1 seconds"

Me - "f**k, thats quick for a stock carby 308, how did you measure that?"

Kid - "My stop watch"

Me - "f**k yeah"

This was his stock as a rock VK Calais.

Same/Same.

Dooooooooooontttttt doooooooeeeeeetttttttt.

No idea what my 0-100 was, but went to the drags with a mate in a well modded early shape WRX (1250ishkg), he was running 12.5, I was 12.7, his lauch was hold limiter, and side step it, with semi slicks. I was holding the limiter and slipping, with exhaust, pods and boost, stock suspension and cheap road tyres, we were both getting 1.6 60ft, check this shot off the mark... This is why stock suspension is so good down the quarter..

on the topic of clutches, i know exedy make such a thing as an HHHD for cars like the SR20 silvia range, and i have been told by my local clutch place they could order an uprated clutch at $100 per uprate.

I do know however the early model GTR clutch kit has a different PN but is almost identical, so im assuming that the difference is the clamp load, so question here is; are you guys talking about getting a HDB to suit an R32 GTR in place of a HHDB or HHHDB as it would be a similar clamp load? and does anyone know what sort of clamp load exedys HD GTR plate is?

as for traction: I have a mate with a 260rwkw 32 GTR, with the awd turned off he still has full traction off the line with a fairly good launch.. I dont know why we struggle with the GTSTs so much... hes running 17x10 255/40 direzza dz101

all very interesting, i have been contemplating changing to a GTR mech LSD for the longer ratios (if it is the diff and not the box that makes them longer) as i think that could aid alot with traction, and seeing as my car will be soon running a 3037 and rb30 combo, that will probably turn out better anyway (as per my personal theory).
