Hi i have a situation that i hope you can help me out with.

i had a race today and lost to a GTR about 2-3 car lengths

i have a GTST with a fully built motor and all supporting mods. except for coils witch is limiting me to only 12psi. Anything over that and i get a bad misfire. (new split fire coils are on the way.)

with only 12psi I'm having a traction problem and need better rims and tires.

i need a set of drag rim's and tires, size about 15x11 inch wide for the rear x2 . and one of the best drag tires on the market.

the car is about 750 hp. can any one help me with the offset that i will need or anything that can help in this situation.

No mate using a friends coils i was dynoed at 750 hp at the wheels. i'm limited to 12 psi with my coils as thats the only thing on my car that is stock.

this hp was at 30psi .

i used my friends coils to find my problem the coils are braking down slowly first it was 20 psi them 15 now its 12 with a .6 mm gap this is crap

i need a full drag set up.

I doubt you'll find anything in 15 x 11" to suit a Skyline backspace and even if you could, you'd struggle to make it fit under the standard guards. If you're turning 17" drag radials to shreds then just get full slicks. I reckon the biggest you will fit is a 28 x 9" slick and that will be far from easy.

Mate, have you given any thought to your suspension? That level of power to only two wheels is going to give any sort of tyre grief. I would be looking at your rear end setup before tyres. Suspension can make or break a car. :D

thanks mate so how about 15x 9 or 15x10 the most. OK lets say were going to use 15x9 what would you recommend (witch tire brand

and type.

the last person that replied said i should think about my suspension. i have a set of coil overs, thinking about it that's not a drag setup.

can anyone recommend a suspension set up for this GTST.

wow how did you juice 750hp out of your car with a budget of 3000... :D

remember dood... people on here read other threads too

school holidays suck

yes i know people read other threads. i own 5 skylines 3 Silvia's and 1 240sx

the car i was referring to was a white GTST that i just got from japan. (stock car) i was planing on investing 3000 dollars into the car for small upgrades.

i dont ask question to fool myself dood. i ask to learn.

would you like me to post the cars i own and if so how would that help my situation.

I'm planing on getting a GTR in the coming future for full Drag set up.

can you help me with a suspension set up for the GTST (drag set up.)

Just out of curiosity have you ever tried taking out the coil overs and having a go with standard suspension ? Coil overs are generally way too firm, specially if they are in the car from Japan. Those guys love using spring rates on the street that really should be track only

thats od that you say that, i was thinking of the same thing. before i put the coil overs on the car felt like it lunched better with the stock suspension. i think this has to do with the spring rate like you mention and the travle the car should scwat better off the line and in gear changes with the stock set up.

I was thinking on contacting the guy at titan motorsports and asking some question on the setup i should be using.

there always battling GTR and should be able to help.

do you think 15x9 rims with 28x9 mickey thompson full drag tire would fit on the GTST.???????????????

I realize its pretty obvious, but if you haven't already get a set of pineapples and adjustable rear camber arms. Its not going to matter what tyres your running if you've got -5 deg camber.

i'm new into the drag world i dont know what a pineapples is.

the adjustable rear camber arms i know about and will buy them asap. with the arms your saying to run the rear wheels at -5 deg camber.????????????right.

what is a pineapples ?????????/

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
