0-100 What's The Average

[PN-Mad]

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.

I think Leon has found the issue, waiting on the strip for your turn to run causes the engine bay to heatsoak, then the trans and engine ecu's take all the power away.

350z ain't 2T and has 3:538 ratio's!

[PN-Mad]

I know that Craig!

But 60ft times are actually quite compareable. Work that out.

Seems like I've started a debatable topic but if we can get an average it would be good because I get asked all the time and I say I'm not sure.

[iamhe77]

Is pocket dyno accurate? If it monitors via GPS, would it give a different reading on a cloudy day as it would with a clear sky?

Just wondering.

[PN-Mad]

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.

[PN-Mad]

pocketdyno is based on the accelerometers within the ipad/iphone product, not GPS.

Does Nissan have basic spec and speed info then we take some tenths off that for our mods

[Rudi_ARX-TURBO]

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?

[scotty nm35]

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.
