Hey all,

Just made a trip out to the willobank test n tune, and had a few runs down the strip for my first time and it was awesome fun. Jus wondering if neone else has taken the Atmo Liners down the strip and what times u got.

My Best Run:

Reaction: .633

60ft: 2.326

KPH: 139.75

E.T. 15.815

How does this compare with the rest of you? is it ne good? i took the subs and spare tyre out for the night.

Cheers

John

Congrats, good time

Just curious what speed were you pulling at 1/8 mile mark and what mods have you done to your car?

Haven't managed that yet in my car, I have a major problem with loss of traction, in 2nd I'll still get wheel spin, and even when launching at low revs.

My times were done at Meremere in NZ.

My best time to date is 16.0, mines a 4dr and I still had the tools and spare wheel in the boot.

My best speed in is 140.7KPH, and that particular run I did 16.4 (darn traction problems).

cheers for the feedback

i had no spare tyre or jack and took my boot install out but i still had 2 big amps in there. If i can read my slip properly it says 660 ft i was doing 68mph or 110kph. The highest speed i reached was 87.17mph or 140.29kph and i got a 16.461 on the particular run and missed 3rd but got it back in after 2 attempts... oops... poor car.

I have 235x45x17 tyres all round and a LSD (4:3.1).

I'm think the problem is in the suspension, I need new shocks.

Before I changed the diff to the LSD, I was still running my old auto one (non LSD, 3:5.1) with 255x40x17 tyres, it was with this set up that I managed to get my 16 flat I got my 60ft time down to 2.389 which I felt happy about, the way it is now I don't seem to get traction:(

Any suggestions would be appreciated:)

Thanks

Rachael

Um, pretty much yeah.

Quit motorplex has street racing meets on Sundays going again now, costs $30 from memory and gets you as many runs as you can fit in. I think they started again last week. web site is www.motorplex.com.au

Missing a gear normally means you didnt get the car in gear propperly, or went from 2nd to say, 5th gear. And its never a fun thing.

Do you all normally let tyre pressure down some for your 1/4s, if so, do you think it helps?

Generally you will find its only when 'they' specify. Your $30 for 5mins of use isn't going to cover the wages of 20 people that need to be there while you run.

I drop the pressure a to 25psi, some people drop it as low as 20psi.

I find it does make a difference (better traction), my best times were done with 25psi in the rear tyres.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
