here is the 7.84 run....

cheers, mark

Congrats mark, great run.

I also hope you give HT a hurry up, would be great to see you both chip away at sub 7.50s.

One question if you don't mind as its been discussed on another forum and I'd be interested to see what you have to say on the matter.

Have you found that you regularly get higher MPH when your 60ft times have been slower than ideal ,or if you've had a bit of a bogged or wheelspin launch, do you find that on a good 60ft run your ET AND MPH are better?

Its been put forward that its very common to run higher than normal MPH when the 60ft has been slow and that when your 60ft and ET are real good, your MPH will be lower.

I'd be very interested to hear if you have found anything "funny" going on in this department.

Anyone else who has had experience with this feel free to comment.

Regards Rob

I have found this same phenomenon...you would think it goes the other way...but it doesn't.

2rismo?

The more time you spend covering the race distance, the more time the car has to accelerate. I've always sixtied harder on lower terminal speed passes.

Look at it another way, it's very rare the your PB ET will be on the same pass as your PB TS for a given state of tune (engine, driveline, etc).

Very strange how quicker cars usually run higher mph though?

I've set PB time and mph on the same run a few times but tbh they are usually both a result of a slower 60ft. I'm wondering if the slower 60ft runs are more settled and your able to get power down smoother than maybe a leap off the line that possibly upsets the car?

The phenomina of higher mph with slower et can usually be explained by wheelspin.

Car A frys them till say the 100ft mark before traction phases in will be doing more mph at that point than car b that hooked up and bolted.

Car A Takes longer to get to the 100 ft mark because of the wheel spin, hence the slower et but has already put mph in the bank by virtue of the wheelspin. the extra speed is then carried through the traps for a slower e.t. but a higher mph.

Who's on first. :/

I thought that was what I said?

What's on first!

    • 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
