Just got back from Calder after a good night, best time was a 12.16@116mph with a 60' of 1.888. This is my daily driven car with no other mods than driven on the street.

Was desperately trying for an 11 but traction was the issue, everytime i tried to go off a little harder i would fry the tyres and the 60's would suffer. Tyres are Toyo's RA1.

Looks like i will have to get some slicks to run a 11.

Come on mate - you know what tyres to buy to run that 11 and they're sure as shit not slicks! :(

a 1.75 60' will run that 11.90 you're after.

Congrats on the PB mate :P

Speaking from experience, I'd recommend a set of Mickey Thompson ET drag radials. They should get you the extra tenth you're after to get that 11.

Definately looking at some ET streets now. Traction was a issue. Everytime i went a little harder i would spin the tyres and was running 12.4/12.5's

They're money well spent in terms of outright performance gains, although your 1.888 60' is pretty impressive with street tyres.

I'm only getting low 1.8's at the moment on the MT's, although I know there's potential to go at least 0.1-0.15 quicker with some more practise (and perhaps better suspension). Given that you're already able to do high 1.8's on street tyres, I think you shouldn't have too much trouble pulling off a low 1.8 or high 1.7 which would be more than enough to get an 11 (all else being equal).

Let us know how you go :(

Well im running Toyo Ra1's there not your average street tyre, they perform much better than your average street tyre, they are R compound. I dont think i could have got a better start without using more revs, hence the need for ET streets

So you running a 2835 Pro?

Sorry mate, I must have misread your post - for some reason I thought you said Toyo T1-R (still a very good street tyre) instead of RA1's.

Can't really comment on the RA1's (as I've never used or driven a car with them), but despite being a high performance tyre, I don't think there's much doubt that they probably weren't designed with drag racing in mind, therefore there won't be as much sidewall flex for example. Given that, I'm still confident that you'll see a noticeable improvement with the MT's.

What rpm were you launching at?

As for my car, I was originally considering the 2835Pro, but eventually went for the GT3040R :(

You should be able to dial in at least 5,000rpm (possibly more if you're game) and get a decent hook up with minimal wheelspin off the line. Drop the pressure to around 15psi and give the tyres a big burnout on the first few runs and you should bag that 11 and notch another one up for the daily drivers :rofl:

As for fitting the 3040R, you could say it was a little fiddly...

It's low mounted on a HKS exhaust manifold, but due to the comp cover just fouling the standard R33 engine mount, we decided to replace the standard item with a slightly smaller Z32 item. It fits nice and snug now...almost resembles a stocker to the untrained eye :yes:

hey Robo, just wondering what turbo your running and have you done anything to the suspension at all?

My PB is a 12.9 and i couldnt get any faster due to heaps of axle tramp.

any ideas to decrease axle tramp?

Thanks, Mike

Im running a HKS 2535, just a simple bolt on.

Suspension is hard as a rock Teins. Are you dropping the clutch to get axle tramp?? Not once have i got axle tramp, i use the clutch and plenty of throttle to smooth out any sudden jumps from the rear.

naa its not only when i drop the clutch it can happen as it starts to spin after takeoff.

I think i might invest in some pineapple's.

My 60' times were like 2.1. I was getting the same 60' when the car was standard cause i cant seem to get a good takeoff. I got 13 runs on the night so i was trying everything i could to reduce axle tramp but nothing was working.

what is 113mph good for?

113mph should be good for low 12's.

You could easily shave 0.3s off your 60' with a set of drag radials. That would equate to around 0.6s by 400m which would give you a low 12.

I cannot recommend drag radials enough - in terms of street car drag racing ET's, they're one of the best bang for buck mods you can make.

Definately agree, tryes are a key. Theres too many skylines with big power running crap times. All comes down to tyre choice. If you spend the money, spend a little extra and grab some good tyres, Et streets, RA1's, RE55 etc. Theres some pretty quick times to be had.

113mph should be good for a easy mid 12. I done it with normal street tyres with a 2.02 60'

The ET's are MILES ahead of the other tyres you've mentioned for drag racing.

I'd love to hear from people who've tried them on comparisions with

+ BF Goodrich Comp TA

+ MT ET Street

+ MT ET Street Radial

+ MT ET Drag Radial

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
