hey fellas i might just be paranoid but i feel my skyline is not that quick at all, like i do not get any wheelspin on 1st if i take off normally than flatten it,. unless i hook a corner etc or rev dump it.

and cant break traction shifting into 2nd either unless i rev it with clutch in on gear change and let go

what i have a series 1 r33 gtst with turbo back exhaust, 10psi boost, FCD,gtr fuel pump,apexi pod in UAS box, standard side mount/computer/turbo/suspension, 225 nankangs on r34gtt rims

i have put it on the dyno before and got 175kw on a dyno dynamics dyno and about 153 on a mainline dyno

i have changed the spark plugs to new platinums and my coils are in good nick. no missing.... also changed fuel filter oil filter and oil 4000ks ago.

so what im asking is, does this sound right ? or should i be braking traction as i described before???

(i know its not really a good comparison by saying 'break traction' but yeah it gives you a rough idea)

was going to take it to wsid tonight but looked like rain so maybe next week

get a water bottle, jumo out of the car, quickly form a puddle of water infont of the rear tyres, roll forward a touch, revs up, dump clutch !!!!! that should do it lol

wait till it rains

You are the first person to NOT want traction :D

I got 18 x 9 with Nankang 265 and i got no traction when i hit second... could also be due to my camber...

Your tyres may be running low in pressure causing them to grip more... make sure the pressure is high enough 35 - 38psi

175 as ryanrb25 says is too low. You won't break traction just with power alone [forget clutch dumps, water, gravel etc] under 200.

At 220-230 you will break in 1st and 2nd, at 250-270 you will break in 3rd, and thats with real tyres 255-275's, not those pizza cutters you have on now......lol

It's all about the shape of the torque curve, as much as the area under it.

The 2wd ECR chassis/drivetrain was more or less intended by Nissan engineers to cover ground/distance quickly and easily for an "average" driver. Lurid smoky corner exits might be spectacular but aren't the fastest...

like i do not get any wheelspin on 1st if i take off normally than flatten it.

You should at least get a little wheelspin or chirp into 2nd. It depends how harsh you change gears. But taking off normally in 1st and then flattening it? No you won't get wheelspin, unless its wet. Need more power to do that.

If you want even less traction, get some nexen n2000's like i have. Man I hate them!

Yeah it does seem strange, 175kw on 225 nankangs should be plenty to break traction in first.. On nankangs around 100kws should be enough :ninja:

Seriously though atm i'm running similar Kw's to you, with these mild mods...pfc, r34 smic, splitfires, 3" turbo back/split dump, k&n panel filter, bleed valve, exceedy hd clutch with a very conservative tune around the 180kw @ 10psi. I do however have some very nice sticky 265 firestones on the rear as opposed to your Nankangs aKa "the tyre of death" Now with my r33 s1 If I hit the sweet spot shifting to second it will chirp also taking off normally if I roll on the gas as boost hits it will break traction @ maybe 30 kph...dump the clutch you'll sit and spin.

As said by someone above the chassis and suspension dynamics are fairly good even in stock form they do hook up very well and thats what it's all about. If you want to loose traction easier you can either stiffen the ass end up or increase your kw..Having said all of that, with similar power maybe you car is doing what it should and mines too firm in the rear and not hooking up like it should. Mmmmmmmmmm

Heres a thought...you dont have a boot install subs ect (extra weight over the diff)? Although I'm not pushing big kw's my car is a lot lighter than most r33's around with no body kit, big sound system or Hicas to weigh it down and some super light enkies all helping with the power-weight ratio.

So there's a few ideas but as I said I don't think it's a lack of power.

I got Maxxis MA-V1 with 255 on the rear, and at 207rwKw and a fat midrange, i get brakeout in first and second on gearchanges, slight corner in secon put the foot down, and sidways is the order of the day.

Midrange is much more important.

175 as ryanrb25 says is too low. You won't break traction just with power alone [forget clutch dumps, water, gravel etc] under 200.

At 220-230 you will break in 1st and 2nd, at 250-270 you will break in 3rd, and thats with real tyres 255-275's, not those pazza cutters you have on now......lol

Depends on how well setup the car is...

270rwkw with decent tyres, a good diff and correct alignment a set of decent 245+'s should hold on 'only just' in second gear. Try on a slight corner and there's no chance.

It also depends on the power delivery, if its a nothing then everything style turbo then yes traction is going to be an issue.

ok so it looks like i am being paranoid...

i was going to see how quick i go down the quarter mile just as sort of reassurance (if i was getting over 15sec id suspect something is wrong)

oh well just gotta keep modifying to make it quicker

thanks for all the info fellas

i got rb25det s1 in my cefiro and i cant get anywhere im first soon as boost comes on they spin n revs fly almost on rev limit in blink of an eye, hard shift in 2nd will spin for bout 5-10 seconds then grip by then you gotta shift anyways and chirp in 3rd with a good shift

mods:

exhaust

pod

front mount

bigger fuel pump

stock boost

coilovers

it wont chirp in 3rd with more boost for some reason kinda feels like it just dies down... lately tho it feels heavier on the road

i also cant launch my car it will either bog down or spin

forgot to add i run falken ziex 235 on rear

Edited by 2gceffy

Its the cars setup. Look at the diff, bushes, camber and tyre quality and how worn the tyres are.. Tyres get hell slippery as they approach 3/4 worn.

There's many out there with double the power some of you blokes are making yet have no issues hooking up through second.

Im running fulda tyres from germany 265 r18s I have 362rwkw they spin in 1st & 2nd & chirp in 3rd so id say it all depends on tyres & how much power you have these fulda im running on rear are a great tyre pretty god dam sticky.

296rwkw with 265's can spin lots in second but if i drive it right i can get lots of power down without wheelspin and definatly does not spin third unless im on a pretty uneven road which you wouldnt be hooning on unless you have written your suicide note with this kinda power

    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 馃槃 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 馃槃 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 馃槃 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel  
    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
