G'day all,

I just wanted to know what everyone thinks about the reliability of Pivot's speedmeter. I had one installed recently and on my second attempt on the M4, my 0-100 figure was 6.00 sec. I was pleased with this because I had the silencer on my muffler fitted in.

The times varied from between 6 sec and 6.3.:burnout:

well standard is 6.2 for 33 with approx 140rwkw. Id say add exhaust and filter and boost and youd be pushing 160rwkw, and mid 5seconds to 100? Go a FMIC and some sort of management for 190+rwkw, and id say low 5seconds to high 4 seconds 0-100.

does this sound right?

Guilt toy, 4.77 is pretty quick, you must have 200+kw at the wheels? The only thing is, how do you get the traction to pull a 4.77 0-100? what tyres you got, and how did you launch?

yeah dude, i doubt 3.4 sec as well... i would say thats impossible on street tyres!! i dont think any RWD street car will be able to crack the low 4 seconds, apart from these "street" cars in japan running Nittos and 10sec qtrs!

I remember i test done with propper equipment on Kingsley Heads GTR 32, big single conversion, and i think he was only just in the high 3sec to 100 bracket. BIG power and RWD on street=inability to do exceptional 0-100's!! The power becomes a problem rathere than an aid in low gears.

250rwkw is a heap of power, and if you could get it down you'd probably do 3.4secs! But no way espec with the shit 235's you mention!

when i went from 160 to 200kw i could no longer just plant it in 1st due to traction breaking, wheras before i could let 1st wind right out.

dumb question but how does it measure the distance ?

If you sat their and ripped a burnout (tyres spinning faster than what your car could move) it would give you a 'really' quick 0-100m time wouldnt it ?

/end dum question.

LOL - I'm pretty sure they are talking about 0-100 k/ph, not 0-100m :)

Jay,

Your posy doesn't make sense. Toby is the one started this thread which is about the reading he took from his pivot speedmeter.

Toby,

One way to find out whether you are in fact measuring 0-100kmh is to set the meter and go for a run sitting at 60kmh. You can do this as you are cruising and don't have to do it from stand still.If it beeps and gives you a reading it is clear that the reading is for 0-100m not 0-100kmh. You can try the same for 0-200, 0-300 and 0-400. I am sure you will find that all the readings are for distance not for speed.

A cheetah would be faster than our beloved skylines over a sprint of 100meters. Basically having to move a mass of 1.5 ton and not being able to put all the power to the ground from stand still (read traction) hass all to do with it.

Obviously as the distance is increased there is no comparison.

With 180rwkw (about 2 years ago), I clocked off about 5.2 secs with a g-tech... 206rwkw and I managed a 4.9...

Much faster than that and you're pushing shit uphill with only two wheels driving, as you can only put down so much power in first and second...

Try a 100-200 time estimate if you want an indication of a cars power :)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
