Wow some big discrepancies there...!

4.6 with 170rwkw (albeit in a 32 which is lighter) and only 5.75 with 265rwkw in a 34?

A much heavier less powerful XR6T can easily do low 5s... I guess it all comes down to wheelspin in the skyline then...?

What is the best way to get a 34 to hold traction? Suspension, tyres?

I think i'll be running my rears down around 20psi when i get it back...

Soft spring rates, pineapples bushes set to maximum squat, zero negative camber or 1 degree postive camber if the car squats a lot (as it squats it will gain negative camber which in turn will return it to around zero), good tyres, not to low. With a setup like this (probably similar to what Paul had) is your best way for a good time. The problem is most of us know this, but don't actually do it and have low cars with aftermarket coilovers and average tyres :)

Well I can get my tyres 0 - 100 in around 2 seconds... Unfortunately the car itself takes a fair bit longer...

Even if I pull a perfect launch, I have a major issue of grabbing second and the car fries both rears... That's with 255 wide rears... And it also does it on semis...

an extra diff :)

Sorry, had to say it :(

I was actually planning on selling the GTT and getting a 34 GTR - was for sale for several months but there was no way I was getting what I wanted for it... and the changeover price for a good low km fairly stock 34 GTR was going to be well over 30 grand...

Got advised by many people that it wasn't worth it, and that I wouldn't be satisfied with a stock GTR anyway. Then to modify it would cost twice as much as the GTT etc etc...

Decided to stick with the GTT and do turbo etc so i guess i'll see what it's like at the end of the week when i get it back! Not like I'll probably ever have the chance to drive a 34 GTR to compare so I guess it probably doesn't matter!

I went the larger .82 housing on the 3070 hoping the boost response would be a bit more linear, and less likely to fry the tyres when it came on compared to the .63... Hopefully I was right... :P

I have a 32 GT-R and i love it to bits but some things you can only really enjoy in RWD :P

Plus the 34Gtt's are pretty sexy there are a few getting round here in bris that a sick !

Those claimed 0-100 times for the xr6t would have been done by professionals who know how to launch that particular car when it was in testing, not your average joe. They also have a launch control system in them as well...

Yes, tyres and suspension play a fairly big role when it comes to launching, but it mainly comes down to the driver.

You did choose right, the power is quite linear, when i had my 3076 it was a lot easier to get the power down than when i had a apexi ax53b70 p25 because the apexi was so responsive it would just fry tyres the second you applied throttle

The best i have done so far is a around 5.8, thats with 236 rwkw's and zero traction. The main prob is traction. I have been beating by a mates standard wrx because i had no traction through 1st or 2nd. I know have semi slicks but haven't tried them out yet.

I'd say mid 4's if you are running decent rubber.

if you are struggling for traction consider

wider tyres - as wide as you can run cost effectively without scrubbing

better tyres - cost = more grip usually, pzeros are ace, my best 0 too 100 was with them

less pressure - 20psi for max grip - 40psi for normal drive and good economy

pineapple / diff cradle kit - prevent tramping on the diff / hopping

camber (make the wheels sit flat when you dump power, most will find inwards, reducing contact area)

tune the boost curve to give best boost vs traction - ie AVCR with gearjudge

I guess you could always try not putting your foot to the floor in the 250kw+ Skyline and feeding it in..? Guess that can be a hard ask in the heat of the moment. Will have to see how i go next weekend i suppose...!

I don't want to get beaten by a fairly standard skyline (or a bloody WRX) after spending the amount I just have for 250-300kw so i might just get some damn good tyres...! :P

I guess your usual inner-city drag doesn't start off with a full on launch though anyway, it's usually the feel each other out through the first half of first, then once you both know you are going to go put the power down... Am I right to assume that in that situation the 250-300kw Skyline is going to leave the 200kw one, or the SS / XR8 / WRX in the dust (obviously that is then taking the launch out of it...)?

^ LOL

So 20psi in street tyres is about the best for traction? Might give it a try.

Hahaha yeah obviously. Might try them at 20psi and have a bit of practice launching to see how they hold up.

hey mate

20psi does indeed give noticably better traction but it's more for straight line stuff

just be careful in particular with running taller profile tyres at that pressure, especially if you plan to corner hard/kick the back-end out..

when I was younger I was a passenger in a VN SS running low rear tyre pressures for grip and the tyre rolled off the rim. wasn't pretty.

cheers,

Yeah definitely wouldn't be taking any high G corners with 20psi in them :P Like I said, wouldn't mind doing a bit of practice with launching. Definetely want to start getting the power down a lot better and earlier so semi slicks will definetely be on the agenda once mine are worn down.

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
