hey guys, does anyone have rough figures of what the follow cars with the following power can do in a quarter mile?(power = @ wheels)

gsts vs gtr @ 200kw, 250kw, 300kw, 350kw, 400kw

ie: 200kwgtst = 13s

200kw GTR = 12.4s

yes of course every car will be different, but just rough estimates of each will do

would be interested in users posting their 1/4 time and kw@wheels(figures that are close to 200-400kw's@wheel)

also state tires used please

just wanna see how much 4wd is better:P

heheheh

cheers

I've seen R33 GTST's in Sydney with exhaust, fmic, power fc run 12.9-13.9 and I've also seen GTR's with the same mods run 12.4-13.4 so I'm thinking at best 5 tenths different

i assume this time gap gets wider as the power increases.........

would like to see direct comparisons of kw ratings as stated in main post

that doesn't show me much

it only tells me time

not engine kw or what wheel drive

read the main post of what i want.... to compare rw and 4w

The list I linked you to ( http://skylines.pnc.com.au/drags.html ) actually tells you the model of Skyline (ie R32 GT-R, R33 GTS25t etc.) so if you know your Skylines you'll be able to figure out if it's RWD or AWD. AFAIK not one of the entries on that list uses RWD only if they have AWD and nor do any of the RWD guys have AWD transplants. If your not sure what model Skyline came with AWD then do a search.

As for rw/awkw levels, most of the entries on the list have this info in there sig's or listed under their profiles somewhere - try a search and see how you go. All the info your seeking is already on this forum in one way or another. It may take a bit of a search but you'll find it. Have fun :cheers:

You can get a 2WD to hook up pretty well, but at least it won't have the driveline losses of a 4WD at the high end of the track. Or weight.

Edit: and there's no way that "400rwkw" car has that much power. If it did it would have run alot more MPH...

Why would you assume that, do you think the only cars that are quick down the 1/4 mile are AWD?

because the more power u have, the more tranction probs u are gonna have........

never said ONLY AWD is fast;) just trying to find the disadvantaged time of traction loss or traction gained from AWD

as u stated: 12-13s on gtst is disadvantaged about 0.5s

oh didn't click on the names, lol

from what im seeing so far

~300kw@rw will get u abt 12s on the quarter

but 2rismo has 200kw and still got ~12, maybe good launch + tires, etc

so ugh.......

The USA dynos factor a much lower drivetrain loss than our Aussie dynos. As a rough example (ie using totally bogus figures) ...

Australia: 250fwhp ='s 170rwhp - results in a 14.5 @ 100mph 1/4

USA: 250fwhp ='s 220rwhp - results in a 14.5 @ 100mph 1/4

It doesn't matter as long as your comparing apples to apples (ie US dyno figure vs other US dyno fig's). Compare Aussie fig's and US fig's and it won't add up.

My car makes ~470rwhp on a US dyno, woo hoo! :cheers:

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
