Don't bother Hamish; As if suspension and tyres are important for drags. This kid knows it all man, he has driven a Ferarri, so he must be a race car driver!! WOW I just want his signature, he's sooooo cool!

Pffft...

You bring that Ferarri and a $1000 to the next Calder meet and we see who walks away with 2g's, but make sure you know how to drive, wouldn't want to damage the walls at Calder and delay other competitors from racing ;)

You can't get in unless you die. Or somehow detach your balls, permanently.

How the fark did that get posted 3 times? Damn stupid Ipod

4 times now... :)

LOL, So your a drag racer and you don't think tyres and suspension set up make a difference at the track.

If you are such an experienced racer why are you asking us how you should be modifying your car?

Surely you would have more idea than all of us.

After all you have driven a Ferrari. :)

If i was a G33K i would know how to use the ipod properly and it wouldn't have occurred.

are you f**king serious... you go to the drags and tyres dont make a difference...

ok so a 12 second run with 1 second of wheelspin = 13 second run yes?

12 second run with 0 seconds of wheelspin = 12 second run yes?

do the f**king maths...

not to mention ther are a heap of cars round sau that will smack down ferarri's.

Boom! exactly you can have as much power as you want but if its not getting to the ground not point!!

i go to calder park and i only do drags. :S and i dont corner @ high speed. and just cos im p plater doesnt mean i cant handle a pissy turbo, my mates non turbo xr6 is faster than my turbo.. turbo aint much difference, just a nice dose.. power wise its jackall to me.. i've driven a ferrrari.. thats real power. and i cant drive that. but turbo? please you guys make it sound like its the craziest shizz ever

u r what i like to call the dumb population in our society, ur asking people who really know skylines about what to do to ur car and when they tell u make it handle good u go on about some dumb flamin mongrel in an xr6, and a turbo is abig f**king difference have u ever driven an na skyline.

u asked for advice and it was given dont question it bro we have all been there before u!!!

thems fighting words.

this guy is a douche, he posts so much crap... search him :D

Geez, dont you guys know anything??? ofc tyres dont make a difference, thats why all drag cars have really thin tyres at the front ^^.

And suspension is not the be all and end all, you just need to weld a rod from the axle to the strut, therefore you will have a better weight reduction because you also dont need a strut brace.

And if your real hardcore you can always take out 2nd and 4th gears from the gear set, because if you flatline it in first and then go straight to third and then fifth you will be faster because there are less gear changes and also you will lose about 5-10 kg for better aerodynamics.

So, That proves that tyres and suspension are not important and that with some weight reduction you can have an excellent drag car.

Deductive reasoning... got to love it!!!!

:P

This is one of the sad moments in my life(unfortunately for the clueless thread starter) that i realise that this dude is probably goin to kill himself in a car crash because he has no idea or respect for cars.

sorry buddy, but unless you really are that stupid, dont you think that maybe the victorian government made the law to stop you driving these types of cars for a reason???????

and dont think your the ducks nuts coz you say you driven a ferrari. your on your P's, you obviously have no driving ability.

Having a high powered vehicle means shit on your p's u dumb gook.. after an hour i get used to the power .. felt like driving my old car again.. why dont you go bum the government up the bum ay? oh sorry for not knowing everything about cars when i was 18. you klowns are so hardcore for knowing it all. clap clap- have a star u dum sht

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
