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 :)

  • 4 weeks later...

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

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
