as the title suggests i would like some advice on what revs is best to cut a sub 2 second 60 footer. im running gt3040 600hp turbo making 346rwkws on dyno dynamics i willpost dyno sheet. if im making full boost by 4500rpm and i have a good clutch, 245/45x17 nitto extreme drag radials. what is the best tyre pressure to get good traction ie: a good 60 footer as well as what revs so i dont bog the car down e.t.c.also wheres is the best revs to shift for maximum acceleration. anyone in the know would be greatly appreciated. its hard to practise at calder my local track seing how it takes 4 hours to get 5 or 6 runs and by the time you queue for the nxt run youve forgotten what you did the last time you ran,as to try and improve . obviously its illegal to practise on the street ,so i figure if i can go away from these forums with some insight i might have a good chance of nailing a good pass in the limited ammount of runs that one gets at a busy drag strip like calder park. cheers carl.post-6176-1168507421.jpg

Each car is different in its setup.

Your really just going to have to give it a shot, and practice will sort it out for you with regards to the launches.

Tyre pressure, im not sure there.

Gears... I'd be changing as close to your peak power as you can.

If you feel it "drops" a bit on a gear change, just take it a few 100 RPM further the next time till it feels like you shift and it goes back into a meaty area.

Thats how i used to drag mine and it seemed to work ok when i ran a 12.1 even if it was all over the place at the time.

Although, if you get to calder as soon as it opens, and dont muck around, you'll eaily get 10+ runs on a night.

I used to get there early, and you can do back-to-back runs virtually for the first hour and a half before the main rush beings :)

There will be more useful info for sure, that'll just get it started

Good luck with it, you should be hitting 125mph without much of an issue

You need to balance the clutch and throttle. Use at least 4000-5000rpm and lift the clutch and as you do, use more throttle. Dont dump the clutch at high revs as this causes wheelspin. Do it progessively and you feel the tyres bight and then your away. If you are finding that you are getting alot of grip, try it quicker and use more revs until you find out your traction limits. Best i got was 1.88 60', anymore revs and it would break into wheelspin.

Good luck, 125mph should be possible, but will require a perfect run

thanks for the tips robos, i reckon 12.18 from a hks 2535 is pretty darn good! 1.88 sec 60 ft not bad either. i was flicking through the for sale classifieds the other day and iam quite sure that i saw your ad to sell that turbo. what turbo set up are you looking at running next?

Picked up a GT3071R for a decent price so i thought i would try it. Finally its all on now but having some lack of boost problems so im trying to iron it out.

If you run a decent 60', you should have a 11 in the bag. Just dont get carried away on the take off as thats where it all counts for a good 1/4.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
