All the guessing in the world won't make any difference in your life unless you actually do it for real. What is happening with you guys these days ? What's next, asking if you could sprint 100mtrs in 7sec if you were wearing so and so shoes and had your hair parted in the middle for less wind resistance ? Perhaps if I tell my phone I weigh 100kilos and can leg press 600lbs for 12 reps @ 8% body fat I could get that down to 3 seconds.

These guessing gadgets are useless. Get out there and as Nike would say, "just do it".

I am quite aware of the fact I wont be able to get a very accurate time from posting on forums or using a freaking iPhone....and WILL take my car to WSID...When its done but till then I was trying to get a second opinion on my guestimates and see if the general SAU community thought I was being a bit optimistic.

You seem like the kid who used to kick over peoples sand castles, I work in the automotive industry and am not a dimwitted 17 year old so dont assume I'm a moron. and even if I was you shouldn't have such a facetious attitude.

With that info someone that is knowledgable and experienced should be able to give me ballpark figures.

So, Does someone who isn't a K to the N O B have an opinion?

210rwkw should be getting you down the strip pretty well in an R32.

However what i dont understand is using second hand 235s.

Im sure you are aware that as good as power is, traction is just as important. Have you got a button clutch? i can see your 60fts are just gonna be full of wheelspin already. Doesnt take alot in the 60ft to absolutely kill your times. Unless you are a freak at launching, but most of us arent :D

Pretty much whatever you lose in the 60, double by the end.

I would recommend if your serious about 12s then look into some sticky tires to get a good launch. Your times will improve heaps, and after all thats what we all want, right?

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
