How far away is the race...?

The GTR will be easier to drive than the 34 down the track but thats half the fun.

Only one way to find out...

If the 34 was auto I would say bye bye GTR but the manual will slow things down a little.

Sure there will be dozens of them, but the fastest 1/4 mile skyline in the world right now is a gtst and it resides in England.

Average street car is always going to get its arse handed to it by an awd but a prepped track car is a different animal and I believe that is what the original poster was talking about.

Street car dude, street car.

Biiiiiig difference between a street car and a single purpose, track dedicated drag car.

So going back to the original post, I still have my money on the GTR.

If we were talking 1000HP, track specific cars where the GTT has had all the work done to get it off the line and down the track, then my money would change.

But a street car, on street wheels, the 4wd will overcome the weight disadvantage.

And if you read the thread correctly he mentioned good suspension and the right wheel rubber combination.

Done correctly it will be at least the equal of a heavier gtr.

How do you think the vl boiz run 9/10 second passes.

With 1000hp and a 4 link rear and/or mini tubs, or at least specifically set up for straight lines and straight lines only.

And VLs are generally always going to be faster, mod for mod, thanks to a live rear and more cubes.

could be. or just utter b s

yeah sweet ... f**k off

im well aware of the differences, on the strip it will have drag rims and micky thompsons, still working out suspension atm. gotta finish the engine and body work first mate

I'm talking about 3 litre bottom ends with single cam heads on street cars mate. do some research.

As im sure you are aware, it basically comes down to how well you can get the rear end to work, if you can get it to hook up, then the weight transfer will take over, and you will be home set, as long as the toe and camber can be controlled at maximum squat, and the gearchanges dont upset it too much. Good spring/shock matching are crucial in this area

I don't need to do research. You asked how the VL boys do 10 seconds. I answered.

There's no substitute for cubes. Shoot for straight out HP and an RB26 will struggle to match a single cam RB30.

All of my comments were in response to FineLine.

If you are going to really start setting your car up for straight lines and straight liens only, then my belief that the GTR will be quicker may change. But if both cars are to remain fairly "streetable" then I reckon the GTR will still have it. All (generalisation) the really, really fast streetable Skylines are GTRs (yeah, yeah, bar a select few RWDs but my point stands).

  • 4 weeks later...

The only way your gtt will do a quick time will be if it has an auto behind it with a decent converter.

We can all praise the VL's but these cars that are running 9's are built with monster autos and might i add a decent squirt of gas off the line.

If both cars are manual, no question its on the GTR.

Except sitting there on the trans brake getting boost going for 10hrs before leaving the line :P

I still to this day admire Haddad & similar people...

The guy drives there with his 900-1000hp ~1600kg Monaro that is quieter than a corolla - runs a 9 sec pass off the tree - drives home all on legal radials :D

You could drive the thing around the corner to the milk bar and never think it was more than a clear bodied factory car (except for that little S/C whine)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
