i had 230 ish and that was wheelspin delux!

no point going > 250 ish without awd imho

good luck! let us know how it goes!

its partly throttle control, brand of tyre, and width of tyre

Cubes has 300 and can get enough traction

and now i have 255x17x40 mine doesn't brake traction nowhere near as much

I must admit i might have to sus out my suspension, beacause its not liking grip in first even with 265 Hankook V8RS rubber and 200rwkw. Wheel spin is fun tho! :D

268rwkw I had no issues getting the power down once I dropped on a set of better tyres.

300rwkw is a little harder but it still hooks up well and is quicker up and rolling even when it is spinning/bucking around a little than when it was hooking up and making 268rwkw.

Low profiles = FTL if you want to get the power to hook up. You need preferably 16" with a bit of a side wall or at the very most 17" no more.

I ran around on a set of wide 18's and they were useless for straight line grip compared to the 16's.

Gt35r with a .63 rear, should see a good kick in the back about 4k...laggy i know but i've had a responsive turbo, now im wanna pull some good power and see what that brings.

Can i ask what size and what brand your using joel? I'm keen to put stockies back on it for a bit.

yeah, you got a point.

i had 19s with 245/35 s, not really a good choice in tyre/size.

i learnt my lesson in modding the 33, one of which, BUY JAP RIMS!:cheers:

oh, and thrttle control? whats that? :D

jks

yeah alot of people assume the bigger the tyre the more grip! but as cubes said it's not the case! i don't know if anyone agrees with me but the standard suspension seems to have the most grip off the line! has something to do with weight transfer i think

Edited by nos man

It's a catch 22 sometimes, Squat is good for weight transfer and dampens the initial bang of the driveline, but squat can also induce excessive camber which can leave less tyre off the road. Having softer, larger walled tyres means the tyre doesn't follow the course of the squat as much leaving more tyre on the road. Low pro's are fantastic for the hills for turn in but wack for straight line especially in a 2wd. (as said previously)

hence why we used to run 90/10 shocks on the front & Mickey Thompsons on the rear for drag racing back in the day

yep thats why i have gone to stock wheels but with good tyres, i used to 19's with 265's on the back and they just wouldnt give traction, i have red many of articles in magazines wihch were written by Martin Donnin stating standard suspension is the best for the drag strip, so thats why i have kept mine in so im hoping my new power will be more traction friendly

Very much looking forward to seeing your car back on the road when you get back dan.

mm good result!

gotta be happy with that!

fun times ahead!

Yeah thanks car feels excellent, very smooth linear power. Second gets a bit of a skip along when it comes on to boost. :D

Nice...

Now for some cams to pick up ~20-25rwkw on the same boost and then 2-3psi more boost and you should get damn close to cracking 300rwkw. :D

Cheers Cubes.

Nice and safe on the Standard bottom end at the moment. It's good to know theres still more left in it if need be down the track.

Impressive results on a mainline dyno there Lee, you should see 265-270 on a DD machine.

Im going back to the drawing board, Wastegate was WIDE open but still pumping close to 20+psi. So ive decided to Go external Gate modded onto my DMAX manifold so i can regulate boost alot better. I could just wack on a .82 rear with a larger internal gate but i want to retain as much response as i can get my hands on so i'm keeping the .63 with looked fairly responsive and going external gate.

Much appreciated to Martin and Mark for the help. Top Blokes.

EDIT: martin seemed to love my setup, i was a bit unsure about the size of the bastard. :D

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
