Soooo Close to 11 heaven

[drifta]

orsm run shaun so thats with the nittos i guess or the mud/snow tyers?

[GOT BOOST]

yep nitto's. felt awesome finally with decent traction

[JUDGED]

WAAWHO,

Rippin time Shaun, the diff change might increase your final MPH, great 60' time, that is where you make all the good ET's, thinking you will need a terminal speed around 119-120mph to really crack the 12SEC barrier. YES Shaun, send your times into HPI because that time puts you in the TOP 10 6 cyl RWD assisted. WELL DONE.

nice one sean....

still selling her for $26k??? hehe

[GOT BOOST]

everything's always for sale ( except plates ) : Þ

[Gav]

Well done fella

As Steve says, would be interesting to see times with some bigger terbs bolted on!

Goes to show how much additional power a GTR has to make in order to overcome the extra weight and drive train loss.

[zanda]

yeah, I was thinking that too Gav.....

when Rs are run on a rwd dyno using the "secret method", does this rwhp represent the true hp that would be seen if the car was in fact FR? or is there still some high drive train loss? I can only assume so, since standard R 1/4 times are in the high twelves. surely, if there was that much to be gained by running the 26 to the rear wheels, everyone who wanted an 11 second GTR would just pull a fuse!

there are quite a few gts-ts floating around now with well over the "stockish" gtr rwhp figures (~330 to 350) but not many with these sort of times...

...so is it all about the nittos? or is there something more to it?

[GOT BOOST]

nitto's and lack of respect for your clutch helps. the weight difference in not carrying front diff,transfer case all adds up. what is the weight difference between GTS and GTR?

[Gav]

Sean - not sure of the weight difference, but nothing in the drivetrain is light.

When I ripped out the HICAS and replaced it with a solid bar I saved more than 10kg!

Nothing secret in the R32 about 2wd mode, just pull the fuse. As there isn't a free wheeling hub set-up in GTRs, there will still be added resistance of the front drive shafts free wheeling when driving.

I can't imagine that this plays a part on the dyno, however.

Also r32's are lighter than us r33's With a set of nitto's and no respect for my clutch maybe I could get a mid 12

don't sing it ... bring it

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I think that Gav should take his down with nitto's, he has virtually the same power as Got Boost, will make an interesting comparison:D

[RB20LagWagon]

he really shouldnt need nittoes

4wd would have more traction then nittos could ever provide.

[zanda]

I'd be really interested to see a comparison between a GTRs 1/4 times on 4wd and then with the fuse pulled.

if there isnt a free wheeling hub, you'd really expect additional drivetrain losses over RwD - which would mean that the actual power made will be greater than "represented" by the dyno readout.

...not wanting to go getting into a "dyno readouts arent what it's about" slagging match....

[R32-GTS]

I think the main factor is Sean actually knows how to drive his car . When i go down to the drags and watch r33 drivers smoking there stock skylines to half track then wonder why they get a bad time..

thats my piece... :shake:

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Simon, You are right that most of us can't drive, but I don't think it's solely the R33's which suck, there are plenty of other inexperienced drivers that don't get the most from there cars.

[R32-GTS]

Sorry , My mistake Paulie

[fane]

i just suck at take offs and i dont have a fmic so my car slacks off on the back end...

learning to drive could be handy

Not for long Paul - should be bolting on a couple of 25/40s in the next couple of weeks anong with some bigger injectors.

Hope to have all/most done by the time I get back to Perth in early Nov.

[ix9]

fane,

FMIC has nothing to do with it just yet.... learn to drive first
