Hey guyz, im heading down to calder park this friday for the drags and as i dont have to much knowledge on drag racing, i would like some help from the experts out here, so if anyone has any suggestions for me ur free to throw it in...

One more thing i wanted to ask was, As i know that rear grip of the tyres is very important so i was thinking of putting my Ku36's from the front to the rear and putting my rear rims and tyres on the front. The only thing is that my kumho's are 235's and my rears are 245's, Would it be alrite if i put my kumho's which are the 235 at the rear and have a 245 in the front, just for the drags..

Im only doing this bcuz my kumho's are new and my rears are shit!!

Thnx..

Depends if they have the same offset and if the front ones scrub. Personally i'd just leave them as they are. Maybe drop the tyre pressure down to about 20psi if you really feel the need.

Most important thing is to not get too excited and drop the clutch. I find the best thing to remember is to take a full second to release the clutch otherwise you're just going to wheelspin hard everytime. If you drop the clutch quickly and spin the wheels you've wasted that run.

Also the reaction time isn't the end goal so the time only starts counting once you break the lights. (Hence big turbo auto's etc waiting for ages to get on boost off the line).

It's all in good fun so don't take it too seriously if you don't run great times remember yoú will be 5 times better every time u go.

hey mate, ill be there 2moro also, not racing though, ill be racing december 4.

yeh just keep the rears where they are, drop the pressure to 20psi and ride the clutch a little bit on take off (as jet25l has already stated)

1 tip for the warm up burnout, it doesnt have to be big as radial tyres DO NOT benefit from doing a big burnout what so ever, just do a small one to get rid of the water on the tyres.

i snapped a driveshaft last time i snapped secong gear in the burnout lol.

go out there, have fun and good luck mate :D

ohhh also what suspension and how much power?

Well i guess ill just stick with these tyres then... And im running 175kw on 12psi [ The only reason i wanted to change the tyres is becuase when i tried a launch with the normal tyres that im running at the rear it kept spinning all the way in 1st gear till i shifted to 2nd]

I have coilovers and i dont think they are adjustable, but they are pretty stiff...

my advice is change nothing, especially front/rear tyres

just go and try and few things out, dont drastically alter the setup of your car, vs how it is setup on the street

if anything drop the rear pressure to around 20psi and just see how you go

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
