he doesnt just do VLs either

i would seriously recommend him

da guy knows what his on about and his a nice guy to get along with never bullshits with u and never ****s u around...

very professional at what he does..

ive seen R33s 180s silvias 200sx a his work shop before and all happy customers as well..

but yeh.. i guess that sort of stuff is all personal choose anyway

What has that got to so with what i said?

r31 nismoid

u ever been in a car quicker then a 12 sec pass?

Yeah, i can most certainly say i have. On more than one occasion too.

And if it wasnt for a sticky set of tyres on the rear end (read:not street legal tyres)

Then the ride would have been full fo wheelspin and utterly boring as any car can smoke a set or treads.

Dont get me wrong, i just see no value in a car that you cant drive to it's fullest without using slicks, or sitting at the start line at the drags for 3-4second spooling your turbo, where-by means even if you ran a 10, you'd have been hosed anyhow by a 12 sec car.

This may seem like a stupid question - but indulge me...

Why do the VLs 'spool' at the start line?  

Or, more to the point, why do they take so long to 'spool'?

To get the power up on the stall converter so they leave the line with as much power/boost as possible.

Or by using a transbrake which has a similar principle.

If they didnt sit there for so long, and just went like every other car, then they'd be running nowhere near the times they do.

Hence why if i can go at the green in my car with no spooling, run a 12...

A VL sits there for 3-4 seconds after the green spooling... runs a 10

Then technically (in my eyes) no matter how fast it went... i would still be at the finish line before it :aroused: and hence the winner of a drag.

But everytime i say that it kicks up a stink, so im sitting back, waiting for the stink :cheers:

Coz they run big bush bearing turbos, high stall autos and transbrakes. They need to sit on the line to get onto boost, onto their highstall and then they release the transbrake and take off. If u were to take off like a normal car, the car would spit and fart and not do to much

They can spool up long before the light go's green and just release the transbrake on the green, but often on test and tune days they dont bother and just spool up and check gauges etc.

Doesnt matter who crosses the line first imho, its a race against technical barriers and the time on the slip.

INASNT.. do me a favour man

go home tonite...

rent ur self 2 fast 2 furious.. get out ur bottle of lube...

and pretend ur a hardcore street racer...

and dont talk no more.. cause ur just a dick head..

obvioulsy u never been in a quick VL if u think it really takes us 3 minutes to start spooling.. at calder.. we usually let the ricer take of b4 we even start spooling we then hit da trans break or stally what ever they got.. get it to da right about of boost.. make sure were making as much power as we possibly can to take off with..

so really.. if you dont know what ur talking about.. just go watch ur movies.. and then jump in ur 14 sec car and take cnrs ok

...

thanks

so im not starting an argument with u

It seems you've got a REALLY short memory...

Enjoy making your new account :thumbsup:

Oh, and just a tip, next time you and your full sik bro's are at calder, just get out your stopwatch and see just how long they sit there after the green.

I think you'll be pleasantly amazed.

who the hell are you man, i've never heard so much crap in my life, if you wanna spend about a hundred grand on traumatics and trans brakes and stall converters and 9 inch diffs and ladder bars and then have someone drive your car around on a trailer go ahead, what a waste, you obviously don't understand the dynamics of a skyline when you drive a boat with wheels, VL commondores are the worst handling of all, they were designed to have a bench seat in the front so they were all given really soft spongy front springs then the bench seat was canned but they still got floaty boat suspension, have fun at calder dickhead, enjoy the drive their on the back of a trailer, i'd rather drive mine there do a high 11 and drive home and only spend about 30 grand to have a quick daily driver instead of a trailer bound strip basher.

Happy driving dumbass

    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
    • Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.
    • About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
