My question would be if cars with minimal mods are doing 6 second flat (or under) 0-100km/h, then why are the 1/4 mile times not displaying that. If your doing a 0-100 in 5.9, then I would have thought the quarter would be a lot faster than 14.6

Example- humor me.

03-06 350z. Accepted to do a high 5.# second 0-100. Does a quarter in around 13.6 to 13.9. Stock.

Anyway, just my opinion. They might be going faster than I thought.

See what "the stag wagon" comes back with!?

That's because they're not doing sub 6 sec 0-100 times, lol.

I have no idea if the Pocket dyno is accurate. I only used it because a) it was free & b) a reasonable form of comparison. It tells me that I dropped ~1.5 sec from one test to another, but in the real world I could have dropped from 5:00 minutes to 4:58.5 (sic).

Hand timed runs or phone apps are useful but not a proper comparison across cars/driver/location. Need a drag strip or other fancy electronic timing for that.

Yeah, it is debatable. And its all been done before. Some people would remember the M35 vs VE sportswagon thread, where a road test claimed that a stock M35 would do a 13.5 quarter, and 0-100 in 5.7 secs. lol- I'll buy that one!

Have to strap on some high end accelerometers and get a real figure if we want to end the debate. Really, does it matter? We have a good range of 1/4 mile times, and hopefully some really fast ones too once Scott gets his back together, and sky^rit as well. So we can compare them, and there is no error or subjectivity with 1/4 times. :)

Went on u tube found a 2002 ar/x in Russia doing a 0-100 showing the speedo dash only so being bored I did 10 stop watch times on it and got an average of 6.5 it sounds about right. Giving the amount of n m these cars have.??????

awd does count for a fair bit on 0-100, but not so over a 1/4m. My s1 c34 0-100 started in the low 7s std, and did a 5.99 before it went pop, using a HKS hard wired timer! Will see with the new motor, low 4s hopefully?

With a highflow the 0-100 times will usually be slower, that is assuming both turbo's are tuned properly and run the same mods. It's only past 50kph that mine would start to wind up and by then the stocker would be 2 or 3 car lengths in front.

    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
    • House of Fatz dry dock needs a clean sadly one of the long time stables is leaving this weekend   see ya mr purple
    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
