7 Year old M/T's

1530kg car without driver

If memory serves me correct 400-420rwkw in a 1750/1800kg car(inc driver) is ~130mph.

Closer to 400-450rwkw does seem about right :)

Not having a go here either, the MPH is always a good indicator. Video the run at all? :merli:

Never had those ET calcs work that well because they don't take things like diff gearing into account for one (of the many many other factors).

Have a look @ the drag thread and base it of that & the power associated, it's got specific times to Skylines which is far more relevant and suggests the calcs are not as accurate as what people actually go and run.

Take NUTR33 for example:

360rwkw - [email protected]

Far cry from 500rwkw and already into the 130mph mark.

i got 2 runs in & my first time at WSID.

i short shifted into 2nd & 3rd on the 10.8 pass.

so the mph will rise if we hold out gears longer but traction was an issue...

Edited by BMYHOE

Traction doesn't tend to have a big effect on trap speeds until it is actually an extended smokey skid

Very true. At the motive DVD thingo last year I did a few runs with the start like I was taking off from a set of lights. Later in it was 8000 rpm launches. The difference? 2 MPH.

i agreed. it spun 1st gear.. 1.89 60ft aiming for a 1.5 60ft with new m/t's

if we can strip close to 130kg's?

MPH has to rise.

MPH will rise, and also fall :)

A better 60ft (.4 drop you are aiming for) generally will mean a lower MPH by 2-3MPH on average is what I found when racing regularly. Stripping KG will increase - so overall you should be in front though it might not be as much as you are expecting if it hooks up nicely

This is on an SR20VE perhaps, but still - I am officially quite impressed with the GTX3076R now....

477kw on 30psi running E85:

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
