yeah it depends on the type of clutch i guess. if it's a button, they don't like being slipped.. just gotta rev it and dump so i've read.

sounds like you've got all the goodies and it still shreds tyres :blink:

Only with 4,000rpm+, 3500rpm launch is great, light wheelspin and your outta here. Anything below 3500rpm launch and it holds traction till the end of 1st (warm tyres) and a brief spin into second with a firm change and then traction city from there on. I think its great. I just dont see how an extra 100rwkw can be launched hard on street tyres.

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 ;)

i usually launch @ around 4000... even on the skidpan @ deca i get traction ;) (except when i tried to take that cone in the top of 3rd lol)

obviously a 7k dump will spin them easily though...

with a good diff, flat camber on WOT, good suspension properly set up and the nitto's its believable :)

So my car made 273rwkw and I couldn't get ANY of it down in 1st or 2nd with my crappy Hankook POS 235s.

Now with Yoko Advan AD08s 255s on the rear once they are warm it will almost hold WOT in 1st - till about 5.5k where it hits 270kw. As soon as it starts to let go I just hit 2nd and as long as I don't flat change and get too much wheelspin it'll go from 50kph - 100kph in about 2 seconds flat.

Getting it off the line from a dead stop is a bit harder, but I'd imagine the pull through second would make up a fair bit of time even when 'easing' it off the line.

Not sure the best way to time it, but I can imagine flat 4s should be achievable...

My best 0-100 = 4.2 seconds. Apexi RSM with G sensor. 55m distance apparently.

255rwkw R33

Thats on 265 Federal Super Steels. I have some Mickey t's for the drags, and if i can get them to hook up like they did once before, i will time the 0-100 again!

Judging by the standard traction control in the R34 (now no longer hooked up due to the Haltech, but it does have the ability) I would accelerate quicker with it off and a bunch of wheelspin (in the dry) because it just chokes the engine up WAY too much...

Think it would be a horrible backfiring mess with 270+rwkw and the standard traction control personally...

My Haltech does have launch control, but i'm not sure how much it would help when the problem is wheelspin...?

I guess it just takes throttle out of the equation so all you have to worry about is getting the clutch just right?

Could investigate it further i suppose.

Actually traction control measures the difference in speed between the front wheels and the back wheels

You can program the amount of spin you will allow and how you want to cut the power back.

You can still have wheel spin but not to the point that it actually bakes the tyres

We use this on the sports sedans all the time it works very well.

On another note its not there to stop you spearing into the trees etc, they have installed a steering wheel for this purpose if you look hard you will find it just to the left of your keys

I'm just referring to standard Nissan R34 GTT traction control. It is not a launch control. It (from memory) cuts fuel to 3 cylinders (or spark) and shuts a second butterfly on the throttle, thus momentarily massively killing the engine and all power.

If left on for a hard launch, the car stalls (at least mine did!)

Ok fair call

Im not sure if there is a nistune for the r34 and if there is , if you can adjust the traction controle

I have an r32 with an 26/30 going in it and this is getting traction control so I can get home if it rains.

But will also be able to help it get off the line If I feel the need.

But its going to be switchable incase I need to make some smoke

If you cant get your car home in the rain without traction control then I think you need to learn how to use the pedal to the right of the brake pedal...

I find traction control in the standard form useless.

Standard traction control in the 34 is controlled by the same computer in the boot as the ALSD / HiCAS i do believe. Since changing ECU my slip light is constantly on, although no different to the 'TCS Off' light that used to be constantly on :P

The traction control was fine with standard(ish) power under normal driving (in the wet etc) but no good to help launch. I pretty much got in the habit of turning it off first thing as soon as I started the car. Would be fairly useless with any decent power output IMO.

How about english do you find that useless as well

read the post I said adjustable so i can limit the wheel spin if I wish to.

I plan on making around 400 at the wheels, speak to anyone that has that sort of power and they will tell you its touchy in the wet to say the least, clearly I dont want that to be a problem.

Maybe if I could drive as well as you then it wouldnt be an issue

Seriously though - we are talking turbo cars here, so even with (and possibly even more so due to a larger turbo) huge power ie 400rwkw+ you are going to need to wind that hair dryer up before it starts making any sort of power. It's not like you don't know what's coming shortly after your foot goes down... Just go easy on the loud pedal when the conditions don't suit and you'll be fine.

If you can't manage that perhaps you should let your gf drive it home in the rain...? :P

Your punctuation is clearly a level above...

So you want to use traction control to limit the wheel spin?? Thats ridiculous, maybe just lighten up your right foot.

If you said you wanted to use traction control to catch the car when it wheel spins unexpectedly, then it would be understandable.

Your right, if you could drive as well as me it wouldnt be an issue :P

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
