Wheelspin in second.

[jtech]

i want to know if when ppl are driving, say at 50kmh in second gear, and they go full throttle, do they get wheelspin? on dry tarmac?

what sort of power would be required for that sort of effect?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Power doesn't mean shit when it comes to wheelspin. Tyres and suspension have a more major impact. If you want to know your power go to a dyno.

I have 235 rears and if I throw it hard into 3rd i'll get a few meter's wheelspin

bagging up second is far too easy...

p.s. I have Nismo Coilovers and they're pretty hard

[«Cyph3r»]

AS V-Spec said tyres and suspension setup have the biggest effect on this. Power delivery also has a part in this but not as much as the other two factors. My toyota has less power than my skyline (226rwkw) but when i had my slightly worn dodgy pirellis on it and very stiff suspension it would snap sideways and wheel spin in 3rd on dry bitumen as soon as it came on boost at about half throttle (~3000rpm). My skyline with drag suspension rather than drift setup has a big turbo (gt3037s) and very soft falken tyres but doesn't go sideways and wheelspin when it hits boost as easily as my toyota. You can put very stiff suspension in a silvia/180 and setup camber and caster for drifting and get it to wheelspin easily in 2nd with relatively stock engine.

If you are just wanting to know how much power your car has as vspec said go to a dyno shootout or something (pretty cheap) or if you want to know how to get your car to do this just speak to a tuning shop and they should be able to advise what mods are needed.

cool, I just wanted to know.

cheers

i have a rb20det in a siliva.. heaps of camber on the rear.. low n hard.. and if i go from first two second i get no traction what so ever in second and it wil chirp and sometimes with .8bar boost it will kick a bit sideways changing to third... with 1bar it will kick out and spin a lil more but thats with 4.3 diff gears i think.. well at 110 in 5th its about 3800!!!

With the old nitrous kit I could induce wheelspin at 90kmh in 3rd no problem'o.

[SLY33]

yeah the guys are spot on. My ROCK HARD teins make bagging up or tail out too easy. Waiting for softer springs.

[rbs13]

how i love my teins..

[Steve]

Jtech, just pop the clutch at 50kmh, making sure you flatten it at the same time - guaranteed to please.

[rbs13]

agreeed..

[Cubes]

Mine wont do sh*t any more. I've just removed the ebc..

Stock boost for me...

Oh well at least I won't break anything before the new motor goes in.

[R31Nismoid]

lol...

i have over 200rwkw.

no loss of traction in 1st or second, if i launch smoothly and then mash it.

If i launch hard then wheelspin all the way till the top of 2nd.

I only have 225's so it does well to keep traction most of the time

but it all has to do with how you work ya clutch

[Cubes]

The RB25DET is a hell of a lot more tractable engine compared to the RB20DET but..

[Cool Hand Luke]

With my SR180 and 195's i could wheelspin at 110km/h for as far as i wanted in the dry (i got a fine on the highway within 20mins of driving with those tyres ). Tyres make a phonomenal difference i had 2 difference sets of 235's, once were pathetic and would spin for a fair bit when i shifted into 3rd, while the others would just twitch and hook up well.

To answer your original question i would say 220rwkw with a stockish suspension/tyres setup.

[rbs13]

but its a sr..... we are talking about rb's...

[Cool Hand Luke]

rb's wont spin in 2nd

[EnricoPalazzo]

Well while u r spinnin, we are flying past

[Cool Hand Luke]

haha, typical RB owner I cant wait to get my ETA-33 number plate. I have an RB aswell, but i'll race you with my SR if you want :burnout:

[Steve]

RBs wont spin in second? what is the point of posting shit like that?
