As i said before the car drives really well for the power it makes.we all know you cant use 550kw on the street so as for anything over 350kw being usless your right.

But i built the car to race on a wed night street meet at the drags on radial street tyres.

No its not a race car if anyone wants to go for a cruise im more than happy to go :D

Paul i dont know why they didnt have it in shoot out mode ill ask and let you know

Thanx

i just cannot see how that car could be usefull in getting good times on the drag strip. I would like someone to explain it to me if possible.. (serious request)

If that japs were getting good times with a smaller capacity then the 3L motor here then why won't it work is the question, the car still has a full boost band of 4,000 rpm which at this stage for a " street tune " is more than enough, coupled with the power and extra torque from the larger cc motor is should do very well?

How will it be at a drag strip?

Old school vid, same turbos, 2.6L though

Fast forward to 4.26

It will be a monster :D

Whats the time limit bfore WSID boot people out? 10.00?

but does it have such a narrow band of power?

Well with some well suited ratio's in the box and diff and getting the power to the ground without wheelspin is the way it will cut a good time at the track! Just because it makes huge power later in the rev range doesn't make it worse off, you just have to match the power & revs to the right gears and tyres..

rev limit 9000 rpm on standard crank? Be careful with that man...

RIPS has been known to spin his up to near 10,000rpm - his 240Z's RB30 has been running standard crank for as long as it has been running and it started off in the 10s and has been working through to low 8s with a LOT of runs under its belt, the stock cranks seem to do ok with proper care etc.

Check this out:

2nd that, they've been running consistant low to mid 8's with a stock crank, have been for a while now, their car and other customers cars over 1000hp are also running stock cranks and reving to high numbers, and they've never had an engine failure, ever, just goes to show the rb series cranks can handle some spin when prepped right!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
