Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone knows how much 4WD drops off your average 1/4 mile (say for example the 4wd in gtr's or rexies)

ok so lets say (and these are theoretical) 1/4 mile times

a 1250kg gts-t with standard suspension/tyres

a 1250kg gst-t with awd with standard suspension/tyres

also

a 200rwkw r32 gts-t with standard suspension/tyres

a stock r32 gtr (around 200awkw) with standard suspension/tyres (12.8-13)

I'm just trying to get a rough idea

Also lets take a standard r32 GTR (200awkw and about a 13 second 1/4) and put it in rwd mode, what kind of quarter are we looking at?

Thanks, just trying to get a general idea of how much the improved take off drops the 1/4

Too many variables to give a definitive answer. A well sorted rear wheel drive can launch as hard as an all wheel drive so. Pound for pound it should have a slight advantage due to its slightly lighter weight.

If you specify stock tho, the awd wins it hands down. AWD vs RWD on street rubber is a no bariner.

Hmm thanks, starting to get an idea..

So we could muse that a stock r32 gtr that run a 13.0 1/4 in AWD mode on street tyres, would run a 13.2 second 1/4 in RWD mode on street tyres (pulling the fuse, so same weight)?

Hey, just to bump this up, i got a r32gtr and it doesn't really seem very fast at all.. gts-t seemeed much faster >.<

Can anyone make a rough estimate as to what time it would see in RWD and then in AWD (unfused and fused), keeping in mind the extra kilograms and such.. i'm just trying to figure out the difference a 6k clutch dump and lotsa traction in a gtr makes over a 3k drop in a RWD car (to avoid slippage), am talking over a 1/4 of a mile

Also r32 gts-t hit 14.5ish and r32 gts-4's hit around 15 flat right? sup with that.. the awd certainly isn't an advantage over the 1/4 with those two.

Generally an average of 0.4sec difference in the 60ft time with a GTR (1.660ft) vs a RWD car of around 2.0 60ft.

So by track end its upto half a sec if not more.

Again, still to many factors to be solid.

A stock GTR should be into the 13's. Which puts it .5 of a sec over the GTSt already based on your 14.5

um so flat 14 for teh gtr.... OK thanks that explains why it doesn't feel as fast as my old one (once i had 34 turbs installed)

That also puts sti's into gts-t territory, 14.5ish (well except for take off obviously) oO

Guess the gtr is as fast as my old one flat sticking it in 2nd/3rd which explains why i wasn't happy with it.. guess it's twin 2860 time then

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
