Using my old S15 as an example it was 1,250kg +100kg for me = 2,976lb

Power was 200rwkw = 268rwhp

Calc comes up with 12.99, which was what it did on a regular basis .... but I once got it down to 12.74 with good tyres and an awesome launch.

But that calc comes up with 12.6 for an R33 with 100kg driver at 240rwkw, which is a bit optimistic imho unless you had massively sticky tyres and the launch of a lifetime. I reckon a flat 13 is par for the course for a 240rwkw R33 with decent tyres and a decent driver.

I really hope they catch these morons and throw the book at them.

For those of you with kids out there, imagine if you had pulled over ahead of them and one of your kids opened the door at the wrong time...........I know I'd be up on charges of manslaughter

Interesting app,

It says 14.46 for my car using the cars weight (1320kg), the extra 45kg for the R33 box and the XXXkg for myself lol. Also using the figure I got from Willall Saturday (cough 156.2rwkw cough)

I don't think that is right Dion - it seems to get less accurate the higher weight the car is. There are heaps of online drag calcs, go Google some - they came up with times between 14 seconds and 13 seconds flat for my V35 depending on which one you believe. I believe it would be dead inbetween the two, personally :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
