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've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
