Problems At The Creek

[croat]

took my r33 gtst down the quarter few months back. planning on giving it another run in a few weeks. with normal street tyres (cheapo nangkangs) i managed 13.0@ around 113mph with 2.3 60foot.

i went another time with mickey drag slicks and manages 13.2 as the slick was rubbing on the rear drivers side.

when at full stick the car also seemed to shake and feel like the car was going to steer into the side wall. tyre pressure was 15psi on the slicks and 35psi on my normal street tyres at the front. someone mentioned using front runners but not sure on this at all. who uses them? i though only full on drag cars. any other methods to solve this problem? whats its cause?

if you are running a full slick on the rear you are required to run a cross ply front runner. Dangerous not to as the rear of the car sways with the slick and your radials on the front do not. Why dont you run drag radials instead?

ANDRA does not require you to fit front runners until your ET is 12.50 or quicker. But you might want to do it anyway if it's walking in the top end. Or just run more pressure in your slicks.

Crossply fronts may not be required by ANDRA till 12.50 but certainly required by good judgement.
