skyla Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 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).

NA_R33 Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 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.

skyla Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Originally posted by rover skyla.......i'm wondering how you have traction problems. wat size tires and diff do u have? 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22267-na-14-mile-times/#findComment-482871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darker Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 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?

benm Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Originally posted by streamer or is it only sundays? 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.

skyla Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Originally posted by Darker Do you all normally let tyre pressure down some for your 1/4s, if so, do you think it helps? 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.

Darker Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Im almost tempted to throw the stock 15" rims on, let them right down and see if it helps. That or actually do some mods to my car?
