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

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
