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:

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
