200rwkw

drag radials

suspension work

prefect launch

prefect conditions (high track temp)

250rwkw

drag radials

suspension work

ordinary launch

good conditions

Pretty much spot on

But if you cant (as most people on a budget cant afford em) buy drag radials, make sure you set your tyre psi much lower then normal.. I think around 20psi?

Also, remove all the rubish that will slow you down, like subs, amps, spare tyre (leave them in a mates car just incase you blow them), rear seats (for the wank factor), ect ect..

My post is based on times i've actually run in my car which is the same as the one in question. I have seen absolutely no reason to upgrade a diff to achieve these aims.

fair enough :( not all skyline are the same, i've just found that my diff may be letting me down

112mph wih 251kw and 13flat 1/4mile time

reason y im asking this is cause my tuner thinks i can only make 210 atw if im lucky due to my mods.. i thought i could make more tell me what u guys/gals think?

True. If you're diff is open-wheeling (spinning one leg) then it should be repaired or replaced. Fair enough.

it's your injectors that are gonna let you down. All the other mods can get you to 250RWKW. The standard injectors run out of puff at around 210 to 220 max. CAMS, injectors and Z32 AFM will get you to 250 easily..........dependent on the quality of the hi-flow

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
