Decent amount of power, which is backed up by the 124MPH trap speed. All you need now is traction.

I managed 120MPH with mid-high 200, hoping mid 300 will net around 128MPH, and somewhere in the 11sec bracket - love a 10 but not fussed.

haha you know you want to run a 10:) maybe hire a decent driver :)

Andrew, I've got a brand new set of MT ET Street Radial 2, but not in the size most are running, mine are 265/40/18 (ordered them the instant I heard rumours AIR was ready to go) I've also got a set of Toyo R888 in the same size.

I want to see what I can achieve on a non-traditional size wheel-tyre combo. Let's face it, I'm not going challenge any records using the usual set-up, so why not try something a bit different.

Matty, ya smart arse! LOL It's my mechanical sympathy, not a lack of driving skill ;)

never heard of that size matt.

Im chasing a pair of drag radials in 16"(any brand) to try on my car, anyone know of any for sale?

ive only raced on cheap street tyres, and they are less than ideal at the track.

I agree, nothing more spectacular than a redline side step of the clutch in an R.

I don't reckon anyone on here has the balls to do it to their GTR though.....other than Martin maybe

Happy to be proved wrong though :whistling:

Andrew (Blue32), I want to see you pull the fuse and then try to launch it off the line ;) A driver of your calibre and AWD is a piece of piss, you need a challenge :)

hmmmmm................ :whistling:

Cmon Bartlett lets see what you got. Apparently Art is coming out to line you up in the pink terror.

BTW you are going up on the wall of fame today at work :)

No point in going out there with anything unless its full prep.

Andrew (sky30), the ET Street Radial 2 is the same compound as the ET Street Radial 1 but they come in a different tread pattern and are designed for larger diameter rims. Here's a Cadillac CTS-V on 20" ET 2's doing 1.6sec 60ft - auto trans helps too.

I agree with Martin, if there's no track prep, then don't even bother. I've got video footage of me attempting to run a pass on an unprepared AIR surface and you can hear the car spin from 1st through 4th gear.

lol, auto trans more than helps..it makes a big difference on a low profile radial, nowhere near the same shock on the sidewall

cheers

Hey Darren, been a while mate! Is the 31 up and running?

Auto trans clearly suits the low profile drag radial best. When it comes to drag racing, auto dominates manual period!

    • Thank you 🙏 I'm patient, which is good, considering the limited budget (for now) more so trying to understand where to begin the journey and you and the others have been good with that, appreciate everyone for their input 🫡
    • $5-10k isn't much for reliability if your looking at more power for a RB Me, with that much money currently on hand,  I would only look at things to suit future mods, as stated, a fuel pump and ecu would be my first point of call, as well as getting the injectors cleaned and tested, maybe even replace all the coolant hoses After a little time with the tuner, they should be able to tell you how your car is running in relation to things like your ignition, cooling, and other stuff that will be picked up when it has had a few runs up on the dyno and some logs to look at Basically, get everything sorted for reliability before you start leaning on a 30 year old engine Good luck with the one and only true Godzilla, enjoy Note: for your birthday presents, ask your family and friends for lottery tickets, a 32 GTR can cost "all of the money" to make reliable power
    • Strictly street. Just wanting a bit more power 🫡 Have baby seat in the back too 🤣
    • Yeah ok, it'll be expensive. But it is what it is.  How do you plan to use the car? Any track work? 
    • I do have their “Nissanie Motorsports Co.” vin plates, but I am curious if anyone would have more info on them. Like how many cars they’ve imported and whatnot
