Modified Skyline 0-100 Times

[gwilkinson34]

Ok everyone, enough of the TC flamewars, use it, don't use it... whatever. Let's get back to 0-100kmh times please.

[Trozzle]

well that wasn't what you originally said. You made out as though you couldn't control your car in the wet without TC. Your passion in your argument at least suggests this wasn't the point you were trying to make, making this a misunderstanding. If this assumption is incorrect, you still haven't re-read your original point.

[Harey]

Where do I say I drive cars with an on and off throttle control ? We are all here because we love to drive cars fast and modify them right ??

Well traction control helps you do that. if there was something that gives a clear advantage why would you not use it.

They banned it in formula 1 because it was to much of an adavantage does this mean that formula 1 drivers didnt have throttle control up to 2008 when it was banned ? no.

Its an advantage use it or dont , It doesnt bother me its your choice.

Point is the majority of people in this thread dont have an ecu with the traction control capability you are speaking of. The people that do have the capability most likely know and use it.

my car had 256 rwkw and i had the following setup

- bilstien shock absorbers

- pedders lowerd springs (%100 street legal)

- whiteline adjustable swaybars

- whiteline camber kit front

- whiteline camber kit rear x2

- whiteline castor kit front

- whiteline subframe align/lock (pineapples)

not only that but i had bridgestone so2's on the back and it still had major problems with traction, in all honesty it was alot of fun, but it didnt take long before i was over it and just wanted it to get going, 3 months exactly and i got rid of it for a gtr

[GTRAAH]

Lol. Yes, yes, GTRs are great - we've all heard it before.

Like previously stated I was all for selling the GTT and getting a 34 GTR but they are just so overpriced still at 10 years old. I used to have a 32 Gtst and although a 32 GTR would be fun at $15-20k personally I feel they are just way too old for an every day driver - no offense of course!

This is really a thread about RWD Skylines and what is achievable in 0-100 times, essentially with 'cop friendly' launches, compared to the similar rivals ie WRX, STI, XR6T, SS etc etc

Over priced? GTRs are supercars! And most people who drive anytype of GTR have another daily driver. And if you were to buy an R32 GTR need alot more cash to get them to brand new standards only for the fans

well with 255rwkw it is indeeed possible to get traction, when i had 262 rwkw i could get traction, an i had 255's on the back and suspension done

[Trozzle]

Yeah, what's the rim size? and what was the pressure you were running on?

[On Edge]

Yeah, what's the rim size? and what was the pressure you were running on?

9.5jj standard pressures

[Trozzle]

17"?

Try dropping the pressure...if by stanard you mean 36psi+....drop it a lot.

[On Edge]

17's yeah an 36 psi

...and how quick were you to 100?

[On Edge]

...and how quick were you to 100?

in the 4's

[Harey]

well with 255rwkw it is indeeed possible to get traction, when i had 262 rwkw i could get traction, an i had 255's on the back and suspension done

Anymore info on 'suspension done'?

[paulr33]

should be mid to low 4 with that power

i was able to do 4.8 with 190rwkw

[Bond]

I can only manage 5.5 seconds with 250rwkw. Was able to do the same with only 220rwkw.

I have crap rear tyres

[paulr33]

yeah i think as power increases, you must upgrade the suspension/traction each time to get increasing times

ie going from 200rwkw to 220rwkw doesnt guarantee quicker times, need more traction and able to get it down the line

i think thats why its easy to get into 4 sec with basic mods and std turbo, but after that, its a challenge for every extra rwkw

34 GTRs are overpriced IMHO still (unfortunately) - for a good quality one anyway. And yes, they 'used' to be supercars - it's sad to say but the 05+ WRX STis (stock for stock) are quicker than 34 GTRs (a fact that i am LOATHE to admit) - of course some mods and it becomes a different story - but then you begin talking big $$.

A 34 GTR has been my absolute dream car for a long time, and I actually had the chance to drive one a couple weeks ago...! And... to be honest... I was a bit disappointed with it. Felt heavy and laggy unless you really had it up in the rev range, my GTT felt much quicker and more nimble (although of course harder to get off the line...)

Don't get me wrong, GTRs are great, and my GTT will never be 'as good' or 'as cool' - but for a daily driver that's cost less than a stock GTR it's: cheaper to have bought / built, cheaper to run, more comfortable to sit in, gets less attention from other 'dickheads' (like me hehe) in GTT/GTsT's, gets less attention from cops and i am not scared to leave it parked.

I really do hate to admit it, but i'm glad I chose not to go down the GTR path....

Perhaps later when I have a daily XR6T with the kids in the back there will be a 34 nur (or 35) GTR in the garage, but not now.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

stock 05 STi vs R4R.... does it really matter? i mean, rethink that equation with 5-10k poured into the R like we all would

[t_revz]

my 33 gtst is getting a full rebuild slowly by myself. not sure if this will work but im gonna try for the times im on street tyres and someone wants to have a go. toggle switch powers a proximity switch mounted on top of tranny and detects gear lever when in first. this opens a solinoid between intake and wastegate via bleed valve and i can set a low boost value for take off. change out of first and solinoid closes and boost controller set to usually 20psi amd away we go. i think its good in theory and if it doesnt work then i rip it out but surely it can be adjusted and can pull some good starts. maybe even powerfc launch control and this low boost fuction may work well. cant wait to try

[Guilt-Toy]

Has anyone tried launching high powered RWD cars in second gear to get better times? 300rwkw - 400rwkw.

Has anyone tried this with a aftermarket ecu launch control and traction control % slip that is available with the more advanced ecu's?

Would like to know if anyone else is playing around with this. and what settings they find to work the best. Using street tyres on the street preferable as thats what I am dealing with ATM, got my car and another one to setup and trying to get my head around and find out as much info as possible before going out and doing live testing.
