timesllip - does this seem right ??

[Gizmo73]

i wouldve thought with my mph that i couldve done a bit better...may need some more practise..

i was launching at about 3k...

R/T - .486

60' - 2.189

330' - 6.027

660' - 9.169

mph - 79.13

1000' - 11.816

ET - 14.067

MPH - 101.05

Km/H - 162.63

At the time, mods were..

Whiteline suspension

pineapples

full exhaust - hi flow cat, dump pipe and cat-back

GTR intercooler

lightened flywheel & ceramic clutch

stock boost

[CS_180]

should be doing better times then that i did 14.1 in my 180sx with 160rwkw launching at 5000rpm

[Abo Bob]

I don't think your mph is your problem. Check my sig.

[Gizmo73]

oh forgot to add - the power figure in my sig was not what i ran with....it ws more about ~165RWKW...

[CS_180]

oh well thats alright then

[Gizmo73]

Abo bob- im prety happy with the mph, just not everything else !!

Maybe i should be launching at higher rpm - say 4k...

[2rismo]

Seems about spot on to me, mate.

Try revving harder off the line and slipping, not dropping, the clutch.

Adrian

[Gizmo73]

Hey Adrian..

thanks for the advice.

When i slip the clutch, the ceramic combined with the lightened flywheel doesnt make the car too happy...thats why i was dropping it (as best that i could) at about 3k...

Im hoping the extra power the car is putting out will be controlled by the clutch if i slip it out while revving harder..

[Abo Bob]

Ahh sorry I misunderstood a little. I thought you wanted a higher mph at that et.

[Gizmo73]

nah - more concerned that with the mph i didnt get a better time...i wouldve liked 13.8....

[cameron]

Traction seems to be fine which is show by you'r 60' which is not too bad at all. As with ET & TS their about right, I've seen 14 flats at 107mph - indercates no traction.

Run it again at 209kw should see mid 13 maby even low 13's.

[2rismo]

209kW and good tyres should see a high 12 if you can drive. My car makes less power than that (193kW) and ran a 12.799 @ 105mph.

Adrian

[siksII]

adrian, what tyres and wheels were u using when you ran the 12 with that power? did u use nitrous?

gizmo73, sounds right to me and congrats u did a lot better than me on my first go!

[Gizmo73]

Hey Cameron - i actually thought my 60' was a bit lame. I would like to get it to a 2.0 flat..

Hey Adrian - Yep thats what im hoping for next time i hit the drags...My tyres are (unfortunately for drags) 18's....but i have 265's on the rear, so i may have a sporting chance...

Thanks SiksII - its great fun !!

[nuffin_werks]

i believe alot of it is how you drive your car and the track conditions at the time. my car ran 13.85 @ 101 miles/hr in Darwin of all places. it has similar mods, except i have standard clutch and no suspension mods at that time. Also still have stock intercooler. Like i said above, every 1 is different as to how they drive there car down the 1/4. It was 29 Degree's that night and the track is pretty slippery.

Are u serious!?

first attempt at 1/4 about 6 months ago i did 13.8@104

spose that was launching at 2200rpm, but still your a second faster with 1 more mph :confused:

[Gizmo73]

well - keep in mind the RWKW figure is a peak reading...

Its all about the torque through the range - ie tuning.

Yhe i agree with 2rismo. I ran a 13.4 @ 108mph wiht a clutch slipping in 2nd and 3rd gear, couldnt tell if it was clutch or wheelspin in 1st gear:( That was with a 2.4 6-ft time (i cant drive plus slipping clutch) and only around 180-200rwkws tops because if i ran more then 1bar then i had a miss.

So about 200rwkws (tops), slipping clutch and sh1tty 60ft i still ran a 13.4. Isnt the theory if i cut 3/10s of my 60ft then that equates to between 0.4-0.5 seconds thru the traps?!?!?! SO that means i woudl be looking at about a 12.9/13.0, then a clutch that didnt slip and im sure i would have been able to run a 12.8 (approx).

LOL, Splitfires and 1.4bar and i reckon i can give a 12.5 a nudge:)

[Abo Bob]

There is a small but noticeable weight difference here. An R32 with 200 rwkw should run a fast ET than an R33 with 200 ya?

Looking around these forums I would hope to get 13.6 with my power except that then I remembered that I have a 4 door and it's heavier than a 2 door R34. Makes for better balance on the track but there is a little extra weight in it which may be making a difference on the strip.

[Gizmo73]

damn - beaten on the reply by AB !!

I was going to say the same thing...BUT it seems a low 13 should be a given with the current setup...

Maybe if i get that ellusive 2 sec flat 60' i maybe able to sneak into the 12's...
