With wheelspin was quickest way...Anyhting less was bogged down and took to long to get boost. As i said that was my best time for the day. I tried lots of different techniques.

You dont see top fuel drivers spinning their wheels through gears and they get pretty good times.

Have you seen how big and sticky their tyres are? And suspesion set up to go straight. They are race cars, i drive mine around corners occasionally.

Saying that "Yer she was spinning into 4th" may sound like your car is uber powerful etc... but it doesnt help your et's.

Did not say this. Said if i could get power down without wheelspin i may get 12's.

I stand corrected.

Can you use these tyres on the road then?

If so, how much are they and what are they like for road use?

I have to admit a very bad thing.....

I got completly smashed the other day by a FORD......

It was an old XY falcon with a 351 GT motor and a massive blower hanging out the bonnet, but he was giving me **** and i thought ill go him but it got me by over 4 car lengths in 400 metres.....

It looked like a big wanker mobile, but it had some serious fuel swallowing ability's... LOL

Yes those old ford do haul arse.

There is one getting around that has wide arse wheels, lowered very slightly with a hornet type bonnet scoop and a nice blue.

It looks and sounds very very tame.

I suspect that he has it supercharged or something as it is to quick for how smooth it idles.

i.e 265 at least on the rear it can light then up no worries from first through second then it starts to get a little hary as the arse end starts to flick around a bit to much. Well when I saw it anyway.

He doesn't stall it up at the lights just guns it as it wheel spins anyway.

When i was making 152rwkw he ate me and spat me out by around 3 car lengths at 100km/h.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
