drag radials!!!! and suspension

are you taking raised suspension to fit drag radials under the car, or lowered suspension? stock suspension is better for drag racing than a set of coil overs.

WTF are you smoking?

Your reaction time is the time it takes from when the green light lights up, and when you break the first beam.

Your reaction time, is all about how QUICKLY you react to the green coming on. If you had come to the SAU NSW drag day we held not long back, Sydney Dragway officials even explained this.

What can quite majorly effect your ET is your 60 Foot time. This is the time it takes for you to travel the first 60 feet of the track. 0.1 of a saving here can be 0.2 of a saving at the top end of the track.

For your ET, your reaction time means NOTHING.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha, you might want to read some of the earlier posts in the thread next time to stop yourself looking silly.

NVM... I thought he quoted Zebra and was arguing...

silly.

No raised suspension..ye NEW standard stuff is better than circuit coil overs...but anyone semi serious about it doesnt have standard springs and shocks in the back

Previous launch was a 4100RPM drop, this time i'm thinking release the clutch before the friction point while giving gas just before the car starts to move(hand brake or something to stop it from going forward) then slipping (or trying to :P) the clutch out? I'm all for suggestions guys.

if you weren't loading the car up on the handbrake last time then definitely do it next time. doesn't do the clutch much good but it will give you the best launch. test it out tomorrow on the road and you will notice the difference.

Tried it today, soon as the clutch is fully released it still chirps a few times but not as bad as before. Took off a fair whack faster though, kinda like stalling an Auto up.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
