Anyone Going To The Drags Next Wednesday? (29th Sept)


Recommended Posts

anyone else go.. post times?

I'm pretty dissappointed again by my 14.2s pass

although I seem to be getting alot of tramping from the rear end up to 100km...

I think its my lowered suspension and 19" low profile wheels yeah?

My car was pushing 230rwhp, and now i have a decat and new plenum intake so should be around 250hp?!

What were your 60' times?

Managed a 13.7 when I bought my 33 and took it down stock. A good 60' time is going to get you a good ET as long as you don't bounce off limiter or miss a gear.

I'm keen to take my R1 down but too scared to take off full bore down a drag strip just yet.

13.9 @ 165 km/h (260rwhp R33)

not really happy with that considering my 196rwhp CA18 S13 did a 13.8

the Work 18's on the rear weren't a good choice - they either bogged down or span all the way through first belting limiter.

Anyone get any videos / pics?

13.7 stock? geez im putting out 280rwhp. the 60' was 2.39 on my best run. i guess the 18in wheels and stiff suspension doesnt help? some pretty bad axle tramp on 1st gear when i clutch dumped at 3k rpm.

Get Some Stockies on 16's n put Slicks on it.. n Stock Suspension @ da back if u can so it squats down so u get more grip...

I got 13.7 wif 2.2 60'@ 104Mph.. 3 years ago putting out i say 250HP on 17's wif street tyres..

With the Right Tyre, Suspension n driving skill a low 13's is a possible...

U can try decreasing ur Tyre pressure.. let's 36 to 32 to 28 etc.. n c what's best..

I got told to run stockies wif 225/50 put down to 16-17psi.. do little burnout to warm up ur tyres...

yeh i have 16-17in stockies off an s14 i think. wouldnt know how much roughly a pair of slicks are? i have HKS adjustable coilovers, could i myself fiddle around with them to make it squat more? not really clued up much in the suspension side of things.

I was in my 2003 350z

Anyone else know of 350z 1/4mile times?

LOL I had to launched from Idle... If I even tried to take off above that it'd just tramp and spin :S

:(

my best time that night was a 14.240 @ 160.6kph

reaction time 0.690 (slowest lol)

and 60' time was 2.367 on that pass (not quickest though)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
