Hi guys im going to hit the dragstrip soon for the first time just after a bet of advice and an estimate on what eta to expect. maunual r33 gts25t mods to engine are in sig. suspention setup is completely stock. I will be using hankook ventus k104 tyres 235's on 17" rims.

What tyre pressure should I run with these tyres/rims?

Does the drag strip have a lot more grip then the street? (eg good street road surface.)

Can seems to launch well when you get it right to many revs wheel spin all the way though 1st to lower revs and it bogs down. does not diff hop on the street but will it on the drag strip with stock suspention?

Probably hard to say but with a reasonable driver what 60 foot times should I expect with this setup and what ETA.

:)

Going by your mods, id be looking at a mid 13 and if you hook up real well (say 2.0 60') a low 13 should be on the cards.

I always find the track to have a lot more traction than the street. Its the only time i can open it up in first gear, on the street it always spins.

Good luck

Thanks Robo's low thirteens would be nice. Hopefully I can beet my mate in his stock VX R8 manual clubby.

Start around 25psi and heat them up nicely.  Drop them down if you are struggling for traction, but honestly i didnt find much beneficial with pressures, they just need heat.

So a burnout before a run will be benificial with these tyres? I was under the impression that it would not make any difference as its a road tyre not a slick.

:)

its a must

when i leave my house and my tyres are cold i can spin all the way to theend of 3,rd just about but give them a couple of minutes and 3,rd is out of the question and second becames very hard and im running 255,s 17" advan smokahamas

i to want to take mine down the strip but ive got realy bad wheel hop ever since i changed wheels

cheers chris

if street tyres get out of their efficient operating temperature then you'll be driving on ice...with street tyres they are designed to operate well from cold and do not like to much heat in them....putting too much heat into them will only slow you down IMHO

They will be cold lining up for your run so putting a little heat into them shouldn't hurt.

i changed pressures from 38psi down to 20 and it made no difference, (255/40/17)

most low profile tyres have very stiff sidewalls such as mine, so even if u drop the pressures it wont do much.

Thanks can anyone using hankook k104s confirm this did it make a difference with the tyres left down? how stiff are the sidewalls?

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
