Unless it's a Gtr? I like what ur sayin but I dont understand unless ur just stirin sh!t lol

you need almost perfect conditions to run a 10 sec pass on the street in a RWD skyline repeatably... A GTR will do it in the middle of a snow storm with your mum driving...

Something along those lines with maybe a little less exaggeration :P

Also on the street a 10sec car isn't really a 10sec car... Unless it's a GTR :)

If a car COULD do a 10 with drag tyres then I would class it as a '10 second car' even if it was wearing street tyres that day.

Unless you are launching your RWD GTST it is going to perform just as well as an amateur wheel drive car in real world street driving, i.e nailing the pedal at street speeds.

If a GTR and a GTST both could do a 10.99 then the GTST would have better trap speed and for hooning about on the street will pull harder, i.e doing 3rd gear pulls etc against your mate.

Mum won't get in the Gtr let alone drive it haha

We managed an 11.2 at 130mph full weight with street radials running an rb30/25 gt35 manual in a vl on pump with around 350rwkw. Guy driving was very good though - now test drives jags for a living. I would say that would be close to the benchmark for 350rwkw manual.

If you do have a GTST that runs 10s on drag tyres there is no way you would want to put street tyres on it, even on public roads.

Semi slicks are a must.

I took my Mum for a spin in my old 430rwkw GTR moooohahaha :cheers: she was not impressed

Yeah and even they don't work that well without heat in them... A 10 sec GTR will eat a 10 sec Gts-t alive unless your rolling on throttle in 4th gear

Ha, last time I had mum in my car she yelled at me for hooning at 1/4 throttle confused.gif Wasn't even on boost yet. Safe to say she is now banned from my car :)

My semi-slicks were pretty mud during the off-street racing at Powercruise, all wheel spin. Was my first effort at drag racing though, so my terrible driving skills probably didn't help :P They go hard around the track though, very grippy.

Agreed 4,024%.

Some people just wanna be able to say they have run a "10" and nothing more. Who gives two sh*ts about comp racing.

A GTR is without question the better set-up in a pure 'street' equation.

Its the IRS that the problem fo the RWD skylines(actually i think its more the the gearing most of the time , i think once Rb25's start making more than 300ish rwkw, they the gearing is to short with the low diff ratio, which multiplys the torque, and is not the best for drag radials a they struggle with regaining traction once spinning compared to a rag tyre, which absorbs more energy , reckon it would be better with something in the mid 3's ratio wise)) buy a vl turbo or a R31 and they will easily 60ft on the street constistently as well as a GTR/WRX etc on drag radials.

cheers

Is it better to launch in 2nd gear then do you think? I know the Impreza can give better 0-100km times if launched in 2nd.

Can you not run positive camber to help an IRS car?

That's just hyperbole. No traction in 3rd even? C'mon!

Highly untrue. GTR lags like dog balls. Imagine a 10 second Gtr with -5 turbos doing a 60k roll race. Wait I Did this! My r33 gtst 280rwkw vs r32 Gtr 385rwkw. 60k roll. I maxed my speedo b4 he caught up. A 10 sec GTR is nothing without the launch. You GTR fanboys crack me up :P

    • Hi guys looking for a r33 Gtst stock exhaust asap in Melbourne have $$ waiting thanks 
    • Jump into the wasteland. Plenty of random posting/chatting going on in there.
    • I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly. 
    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.
