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

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
