hi skyliners,

i was wondering how fast some cars are from the lights as i am one of those people who hates to lose and i only really race if i think i am a chance.

ah...um...of course i am referring to the people who have dragged these at the LEGAL drags not on the street from the lights...errr yes that'll do...

1990s TX5 turbo

VT Commorore v6

magna 3.5 v6

1990s laser TX3 turbo

how would i fare with my 32gtst?

are there any other cars which i should watch out for other than the obvious 180's gtir's wrx's and the likes

Cheers,

Waz.

I wouldn't worry about any on that list .... but watch out for S15 200SX's .... I only have Trust Power Extreme II zorst, pod intake and a bit o boost (11psi) and I run 13.33 @ 104mph in full street trim :P .... wait til I get a cooler and Power FC for some decent tuning (running so rich atm its not even funny!).

u will beat those cars listed...but frosty, u better go race a rex, theres no way a stock 32 will beat a rex, even with a zorst and pod ud really struggle, rex's r capable of 13s if driven right, as much as i hate to admit it, ive seen 32s with basic mods run 15s and high 14s at very best....

my car is auto as well so factor that into the equation

what if the TX5 turbo is modded? my mate is thinking of buying one and i wanna rape his car before he can say a word!

frosty, i am a full time student with no $$$ so my mods end where i see a price tag. the only thing i might consider is some kind of boost controller but would be one of the cheap (ie turbosmart) ones that are under $100. is this effective? what else could i do myself? i have drop in panel filter + CAI and i cut a hole behind the intercooler (replaced it with mesh so no rocks get in) :P

thanks,

Waz.

unfortunately andrew ur wrong.

a stock WRX is nothing... it bogs down and most of them are driven by suits who cant change gears to save themselves.

only one i took on and got beaten by had a FMIC, POD, a bit more boost and a zorst.... i got up to about his rear wheel b4 we stopped.

and yes s15s arent to be under estimated :P got drilled by one the other week lol full exhaust, computer, boost, CAI Box and POD...

prob about 75

but i cant let it go until the other stuff goes aswell....

no in cabin adj, thats another unroadworthy bit

least this way u hide it in the engine bay and a cop wont c it...all u do is grab a screw driver to turn up and down, and lets b honest, as if ud eva turn it down...thats y i didnt get it anyway

better stop hijackin...pm me if u want to talk about it :P

well i think u all underestimate rexies, and maybe u imagine too many mods sometimes

stock 32s run 15s.....rexies r def quicker than that......

stock? i think ur wrong there.

the new ones might be... but the older ones arent.

STis on the other hand.

u should drill them... i raced one the other night on half throttle and it couldnt get past... it stayed at about the same speed but didnt gain... it was wet and everytime i put the foot down (in 4th or 5th) the side stepped out so kept it half throttle.

supercharged v6 i took on at calder i beat by half a second.... so theyre nothing super either... 5.7litres will be a bit more challenging specially if theyre modified... my mates 300kw SS beats me.... just.

very tricky

ive mauled every vx clubby ive raced bu at the drags an el stock xr8 was up my ass the entire track...twicw

we do under estimate badly

nark, i hate to say a rex would beat u on the road and maybe me...but driver is a lot i give u that..a lot of em r poofs cos i beat a rex in the 87 integra once, haha

thanks guys ... took on a VN SS once about a month ago and i killed it by at least 3 carlenghts but i just assumed he wheelspun or something as i thought the v8 might be faster than my r32. sweet as i should have given my mate a go against his s15 200sx before he sold it. it was stock oz spec

i find that VERY hard to believe.

I race a 300KW GTS Monaro about a week ago.

From 2 runs starting at 80km upto 2** he lost once.

And the second time only had a car and a half on me cause i had to wait for my 4500rpm boost arrival (curse the lag)

But hey. I can handle geting beaten :P

u cant say what car is faster

you cant underestimate the car..

like i know a guy with a 13 secon tx5

and it looks like shit...

and ive spoke to a guy with a sigma who ran a 12.9... unless u see what sunder the bonnet

dont under estimate it..

and yes i think rexies woth and exhaust and boost will beat an r32 gtst with same mods

as much as i hate em.. i got drilled buy one... they mite not have the power

but they got all four wheels taking off where we only have the rear 2...

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
