i was just curious to know if there is a way to calculate a "there abouts" quarter mile time using stats from a car... Power & weight.

i do understand it alot comes down to drivers ability traction and so forth... but lets scrap all the variables and leave it down to power and weight... every car has a limit as to how fast it could go down a quarter no matter who drives it.

is there some sort of equation that could calculate something like this?

10.92 :)

I would say that computer program likes me and knows i wanna do a 10 lol

10.9 is fine with me :thumbsup: but i should be able to crack a 10 70

i'm running 12.5. easy :( obviously its not gonna be very accurate with only 2 inputs.

guilt toy. what did it spit out for you, compared to your actual time?

dude, it's challenging you !!!

hahahaa thats going by 2rismo's estimated weight in pounds he posted in my thread.

aparently im an 11.4... we will have to wait and see.

mine is pretty close to what times i am expecting so get some slicks and some drag radials and off you go :thumbsup:

pretty accurate...i put in my 3300lb to my 670whp and it says 9.91...my best is 9.95 but thats holding the car back by holding 3rd gear...so on a proper run id say a 9.9 flat is on the money.

put my new wheel hosepower in and weight 3300/900 and it says ill run a 8.9...yeehaa

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
