So you're saying a car doing a 1.5 60ft time will have the same mph as a car with a 2.2 60ft time?? I dont think so.

60 footers are only an indication on how well your car hooks up and leaves the hole. Doesnt have anything to do with power.

Is it being implied that a bad 60ft will result in higher or lower trap speed?

Also, not hating, but can anyone explain the allure to owning the most powerful anything, anywhere? Would just like to know the motive behind it, as its quite different from the fastest etc.

Or is this more so the car is being built to a purpose and it just might happen to also be the most power, which is a lot more reasonable in my mind.. But building a motor to simply have it be the most powerful I can't understand.

Wtf now that rb25 make no power comment is there lol I looked twice it was gone before! Well im here to prove you haters wrong

Haha, sorry you thought it was hate, all cos I left out the smiley face. I thought it was pretty obviously sarcastic considering that this is a skyline forum! Sorry for the confusion.

Are you planning on putting your car down the strip?

It is the most powerful RB25 in the world, but isn't Australia based so not so relevant. The one in the UK from a few years ago was also up there in power

Always lower. BUT if the car has huge amounts of power it will still post up a good mph. as stated 60 footers show how good a car hooks up and well the driver can drive the thing out of the hole.

The car was built to be a bit of everything. Certainly not max power. But that comes as a bonus. As I am not going to go down the drag only route I dont really care for times. I will take it down to see what it runs but im not going overboard on trying to run crazy times.

Also im not here to argue about what 60ft times mean and how they affect mph. Though I will say, having a slower 60ft time essentially determines where your run starts from. So it will affect your top end mph. An auto set up on slicks will not run same mph as a manual on street tyres, ive seen it happen. Anyway back on topic, I just wanted to see where my 25 stood against others that have been built in aus.

Rb25s dont make power?? Lol ok

My car might be back on dyno this week

So you're saying a car doing a 1.5 60ft time will have the same mph as a car with a 2.2 60ft time?? I dont think so.

You have much to learn grasshopper.

Lol dude ive personally ran identical runs but different 60ft times and the mph can vary 2 or 3mph. Thats a shit 118 run. Take that up to 140mph and the difference will be over 5mph. Explain to me how a car slipping and sliding thru 1st and second can possibly get the same top speed over a given distance compared to a car that just grips up and goes?? Im curious to hear your answer.

You are just dragging your own topic off topic, there are too many variables to consider and you will most definitely not be the only person here who has done enough drag racing to form opinions on patterns - it'll just turn into a flamefest. For what it's worth I've run everywhere from 12.6 to 13.5 with 1.9 to 2.5s 60ft times and trapped between 110-112mph for practically all of them (and launch was not the only thing that changed - tyre pressure, cleanness of gear shifts etc all were tested or perhaps not done as well as possible every time), I tended to see a bigger difference in trap speed when I missed a gear or hit a limiter than on a bad 60ft. Not saying this will be the same for everyone, just saying it's part of my experience.

Here are a couple of time slip break downs from past runs from my car - two completely different events, I was ALWAYS in that speed range. Different tyres for the 12.6, same power.

0-60 Foot ET: 2.247
1/8 Mile ET: 8.849
1/8 Mile MPH: 87.240
1/4 Mile ET: 13.330
1/4 Mile MPH: 111.580
0-60 Foot ET: 1.906
1/8 Mile ET: 8.186
1/8 Mile MPH: 88.880
1/4 Mile ET: 12.634
1/4 Mile MPH: 111.300
I am sure with 600kw things might change a bit of course haha

Well I did say im not here to argue the point but if it keeps getting brought up im all for hearing others opinions. Got a touch up tune on the 33 last night, cold ambient temps but on 24psi highest intake temp was 31deg! Awesome results for the new cooler. Will have it on dyno soon to see exactly what the difference is and also to wind the boost up.

Yep, thought it'd be worth seeing that to ponder on if nothing else - they're all on dragtimes.com for an R33 GTS25t Skyline, I put them in there years ago so I haven't just filtered out ones to prove a point.

Anyway yes - dyno results sound like a good thing, is it going on today? And how high was it getting before? Good luck, again :)

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
