so this guy i know is buying an sti wrx. the previous owner is claiming a wsid quarter mile of 12.1s with only 205kw at the wheels.

i call bullshit. how can that be possible? i reckon youd need the best part of 300 to get a gtr down the other end in 12.1.

thoughts?

Edit: just realised what i wrote.. 11.7??? for 300awkw?? oh god.. the stock R35 with less power does it faster.. all because of its super gearbox.. :D

300? I reckon you need to research :D

A GTR can get into the mid 11's with stock turbos if driven hard. So around 250awkw is all.

No, 250rwkw if that.

Its all about tyres and practice mate.

I went 12.9 with 210rwkw back when i was racing (1400kg), and that was 225 street tyres, semis/slicks would be mid-low 12 no problem.

phwoar. i reckon ive got about 250, so we might give it a good shake! smash all the hsvs there running 14s.

one more thing, since you appear to be a source of much knowledge. ill chuck v power racing in, 100ron. is it worth getting booster? much more powah? bad for engine etc?

No point without tuning for the fuel really.

But wouldn't it be a good idea to prevent pinging? I know its a good idea on the track but since the drag is soooo much shorter is it even worth going a higher octane fuel?

My mate does 12.2 in a 280awkw GTR, with 4WD problems. He could do even better.

Isn't it 5-10% ethanol? Not recommend for your car, can damage the injectors. A one off? Then i wouldn't worry.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
