Gday,

My car weight = 1350kg (yeah subs, sound deadening and zip ties)

2 dynos.. one said 180 the other said 200rwkw.

Can anyone tell me the ET and 60ft time I'd be expecting first time down the quarter?

I realise suspension and tyres make a difference and currently they're hard coilovers + low profiles, so I'm not expecting good times but would still appreciate a guesstimation within a second.

I'm wondering if I could get 13 with around 2.4 60" ??

Thanks :)

Just to give you a comparison, I ran a 13.7 (2.4 60") in my R33 which would be a similar weight (perhaps a little heavier). When I ran the car, it was making 185rwkw.

Similar power, similar weight - i'll let you draw your own conclusions on an approx ET you would run :rofl:

Thanks guys.

So hopefully with the subs out, more boost (210-220rwkw) and some OK driving I should see mid-low 13's. Good to know.

Just out of interest did you guys use stock suspension or coilovers? And lo-pro tyres?

Thanks.

Guys buy some drag radials and run what your cars are really capable of like 1.6-1.8 60fts which would put Roy into the 11's

Im after a true street time with my street tyres. Not interested in a time card i can only run 1% of the time.

Yeah it'd be nice to borrow someones set of radials and take out my subs and spare tyre etc for 1 or 2 runs so I can say I dipped into 11's or 12's (if it's possible). But really I'd like to also know the time my car runs with subs, petrol and spare wheel on lo-pros.. ie. how it is on the street :P

But thanks guys this is making me optimistic that with some practice I could hit mid low 13's and maybe even high 12's.

Thanks everyone!! (ps. bob if you end up getting a set I'd like to pay for 1 use one day heh)

Im still looking good for those tyres, just trying to par up someone down here to go halvies with me:) I need new semi slicks as well for track days that are coming up and the prospect of having to spend close to $3,000 on rubber scares me:(

Not really, its just that the car needs good rubber to get the power down, so that $1800 for the Dunlops for track and street, and i want to grab the BF Good rich drag radial and soem 16s to see if i can run around a 12.2:) So there you go 3k:(

And the susp i want isnt available yet, so am waiting for it to come onto the market , otherwise i have to spend about 1k more on an equivelant setup that is currentyl available.

I've got some RE55's already. It's not the same though I don't think. What if you wait an hour for a run then they are cold so you do a burnout and waste half of them then I wont have them for the track.

I suppose I'm just whinging and drag radials would get half wasted doing burnouts anyway.

Can you see me screaming "NOOOO!!!...my poor tyres!!!:("

Burnouts at the drags with 24psi DOES knock around the D01Js:(

But apparantly its the thing to do, so when at Calder...:)

Sorry..shameless posting of pics...i have hand feeds over these photos:)

My skyline weighs 1400kgs and with only 175kw(235hp) at the rear wheels on street tyres with sub in the boot spare tyre jack everything i ran a best of 13.60 at 102 mph with a 2.1 60ft with TRX rims which are only 6 inch wide. the only advantage i have is that with the 31 i do not have IRS so better intial traction. I am running 33 motor and box so the diff is the only difference but the ratio is about 3.8:1.

also i had dropped tyre pressures down to 20 pounds

since then have had the car tuned properly and now making 182kw's at the wheels and having rebuilt the LSD am waiting to run again hopefully lower in the 13's

Hmm wonder how my 235/40/18's Nankang (WOO GO THE CHEAPOS!) will go? :)

Ahh who cares I just wanna run it once or twice and see what I get. If anyone from here is going in the next month or two to the 1/4 please let me know so I can ask some q's and run with you :(

Cheers guys.

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
