No idea what my 0-100 was, but went to the drags with a mate in a well modded early shape WRX (1250ishkg), he was running 12.5, I was 12.7, his lauch was hold limiter, and side step it, with semi slicks. I was holding the limiter and slipping, with exhaust, pods and boost, stock suspension and cheap road tyres, we were both getting 1.6 60ft, check this shot off the mark... This is why stock suspension is so good down the quarter..

Dude do you have some meditation music on in the car because you look so calm and relaxed as your front wheels are lifting in the air!!! Hahahaha

Harey: Did you get the pineapples done yesterday?

Did you notice any difference...?

Pineapples were fitted yesterday, the rear end feels tighter and better BUT still axle tramps like a WHORE!!!! ARGGHHHH!!!

I spoke to Chris and he said to bring it in for another look as it might be something like engine mounts or transmission mounts.

Sydney Kids list of axle tramp causes:

10% of the time it’s tyre pressures, the sidewall flexes and releases. Try pumping the tyres up and see if the axle tramp stops and/or gets less. done, made no difference

5% of the time it’s worn subframe bushes. Fitted pineapples and still axle tramps

25% of the time its drive shaft angle, the car is TOO LOW and the angle of the universal joints are winding up the drive shafts. If your car is lower than 345 mm centre of wheel to guard on the rear, then try raising it up. 350mm on the rear, so not that low.

60% of the time it’s incorrectly matched spring and shock damper rates. The rebound (extension) damping is not sufficient to control the oscillations of the springs. Standard springs with worn shocks get this problem. BRAND NEW aftermarket coil overs get this problem where the spring rate is too high for the shocks to control. I have brand new bilstein shocks all round

I am starting to run out of ideas!

Mine seemed to have started doing it a little (nothing too bad) a while back, but after fitting my lowered king springs it has cured it... just spins away now...

Good luck finding a cause - if you do be sure to post it up in case anyone else is having the same issue.

i wouldnt be worried... chris will definately be able to work it out.

as for the pressure plate issue, exedy said that mine was the heavy heavy duty with a plate from one of their GTR models that has a higher clamping force

You just need more power to spin the rear wheels better :)

Yup I agree but surely at some speed I will want traction :)

Anything on the edge of traction and it axle tramps harshly.

Cold tyres and 4k rpm clutch drop and no axle tramp hahaha

I dont get how you 170rwkw 33s are pulling 0-100 in sub 5's.

Thats porsche/ferarri/lambo territory. With double the power and similar weight. And they get loads of traction, the standard tires are wider then my cars 4 tires laid side by side :ermm:

I personally would take the gtech readings with a grain of salt

Reading this thread (Digging up threads = searching, har har!) I ended up feeling slightly curious.

If the R35 has 290 awkw and weighs 1740kg, and can get 3.5's you would think surely a 300rwkw GTT/GTST would be well under high 4's given they have the same power and weigh a couple of hundred k's lighter provided they don't lose traction

I am curious to read what Joeyjoejoe/hamish's car actually gets as he said it pulls 285rwkw and doesnt lose any traction in first...

Obviously its not only power and weight and traction that matter, would it simply be the extra (obviously a lot extra) low down and mid range torque to produce figures like 3.5 in a R35? Shorter gear ratio? What do 300-400awkw R32-33-34's get to 100kmh provided traction is no problem? Suppose it would depend massively on how responsive their relative setups are. 100% suspension based? Bit of both?

Curious minds want to know, and prefer to dig up old threads then generate new ones. :)

my stagea will do 5.65 and thats only on 10psi, no tune, clutch slipping a bit (manuel :bunny: ) and about 150 awkillerwasps

just a chirp from the rears and away you go

eventually the car will see a highflow, nisstune, new clutch and wider wheels (not really needed)

will be interesting to see how much the extra weight affects things

(stock weight is around 1650-1700kg)

I think the highlight here is "provided they don't lose traction".

Personally, I dont understand how Joeyjoejoe can get traction in 1st gear with 285rwkw with a gentle takeoff and then full throttle, I simply cant believe he can launch hard without traction problems on street tyres.

I have 190rwkw with 275 wide new Kumho KU36 tyres and if I launch with anymore than 3,500rpm its too much wheelspin (yes slipping the clutch so controlled launch).

This is compared to the R35 that I understand can launch as hard as you want with full traction. I cannot comment on R32/33/34 GTRs as i have no experience with them.

This is why I am not going to bother fitting a larger turbo to mine, instead will upgrade to a GTR/EVO first.

Don't tell me that! I was hoping my next tyres would be 265 KU36's and hold first :blink:

Nismo 1.5 way and Nitto tyres are the key factor for his setup I believe.

sif! are you sure there isn't some other problem with your setup? (not having a go at you, i just find that hard to believe.. 275 is huge!)

I have only ever had the car with 275 KU36s so I cant comment on how much better they are with different tyres. It holds first on mine when they are heated up, I am only saying with a 4,000rpm launch they spin too much for a good 0-100 time.

Yeah the Nismo diff and Nitto tyres will obviously help a lot but I still struggle to comprehend them holding a 4,000rpm launch with 285rwkw. Joey please dont take this as an attack as I am new to skylines but its hard to comprehend for me. Would love to see it though :)

Brand new bilsteins, king springs, pineapples, lower control arms, upper control arms. Launches and spins wheels smoothly. I have quite a grippy clutch so maybe thats contributing a bit as it doesnt allow me to slip it much??

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
