R32 Gts-t 11.13 @ 126.93


Recommended Posts

i thought so!!!:) I guess it all depends on what cars your comparing doesnt it, sure GOT BOOST's r32 would be more difficult to get down the strip than a r32 running similar times but you said rwd so what about a 454 lx torana with trans brake, auto 2 speed and a high stall, that would be pretty damn easy to get down the strip as opposed to a big turbo'd manual, irs 9sec GTR!!! So i will still say it was narrow minded!!! :)

umm 472bhp?!?!? Is that at the wheels?? 350rwkw?!?!

 

An RB20t??? Damn nice time even if it isn't.. :P

 

I almost find it hard to belive it is an RB20t... Care to share the basic setup?!

 

EDIT: Ahhh it appears its the might RB26DETT. :D

350rwkw isnt that unachieveable, i hope to have that as a minimum once i have finished my rebuild. I currentally have 223rwkw with moderate boost and a small turbo.

It is if you want the motor to be reliable.

To make that sort of power you need huge rev's, lots of lag and lack of streetability.

The use of a small exhaust a/r to reduce lag is also out the window as due to the small capacity of the rb20t you run in to surge issues.

Just as an example an RB20t turbo on a RB30DET will make peak power around 3700-4000rpm. That same turbo on the rb20t made peak power at 7000rpm.

15" NANKANG cross plys.

Were they $90 like I said ??? I hope so. Seemed cheap to me.

fresh and others - Slicks tend to wander i.e. walk side to side as you accelerate down the drag strip. They don't have steel belts like radial tyres to keep their shape and are more prone to shape change during a run which is where this wandering comes from.

If you have radial tyres on the front and slicks on the back, the result is often fishtailing, sometimes quite badly, as the radials drive straight ahead and the back wants to step out side to side.

I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of being crossed up at the end of a run @ 100mph+ :P

Front runners are cross-ply tyres just like slicks that let the front wander along with the back. They are usually quite thin (skinny) to help reduce the rolling resistance of the front end.

Hope this helps.

What clutch are you running...price?

my clutch is a GTR pressure plate (recon) with brass button fiction plate. It finally died last weds. until i started using slicks it lasted quite well. My car makes 100hp more than it used too since cams and turbo upgrade so that hasnt helped the clutch much, i have a HKS twin plate to fit when i get keen enough.

    • hello everyone, an RB26, or RB25 project in the medium long term. I don't know much about this engine or turbo engines in general, I'm here to understand and gain knowledge. I have specific objectives for a project
    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
