Unless it's a Gtr? I like what ur sayin but I dont understand unless ur just stirin sh!t lol

you need almost perfect conditions to run a 10 sec pass on the street in a RWD skyline repeatably... A GTR will do it in the middle of a snow storm with your mum driving...

Something along those lines with maybe a little less exaggeration :P

Also on the street a 10sec car isn't really a 10sec car... Unless it's a GTR :)

If a car COULD do a 10 with drag tyres then I would class it as a '10 second car' even if it was wearing street tyres that day.

Unless you are launching your RWD GTST it is going to perform just as well as an amateur wheel drive car in real world street driving, i.e nailing the pedal at street speeds.

If a GTR and a GTST both could do a 10.99 then the GTST would have better trap speed and for hooning about on the street will pull harder, i.e doing 3rd gear pulls etc against your mate.

Mum won't get in the Gtr let alone drive it haha

We managed an 11.2 at 130mph full weight with street radials running an rb30/25 gt35 manual in a vl on pump with around 350rwkw. Guy driving was very good though - now test drives jags for a living. I would say that would be close to the benchmark for 350rwkw manual.

If you do have a GTST that runs 10s on drag tyres there is no way you would want to put street tyres on it, even on public roads.

Semi slicks are a must.

I took my Mum for a spin in my old 430rwkw GTR moooohahaha :cheers: she was not impressed

Yeah and even they don't work that well without heat in them... A 10 sec GTR will eat a 10 sec Gts-t alive unless your rolling on throttle in 4th gear

Ha, last time I had mum in my car she yelled at me for hooning at 1/4 throttle confused.gif Wasn't even on boost yet. Safe to say she is now banned from my car :)

My semi-slicks were pretty mud during the off-street racing at Powercruise, all wheel spin. Was my first effort at drag racing though, so my terrible driving skills probably didn't help :P They go hard around the track though, very grippy.

Agreed 4,024%.

Some people just wanna be able to say they have run a "10" and nothing more. Who gives two sh*ts about comp racing.

A GTR is without question the better set-up in a pure 'street' equation.

Its the IRS that the problem fo the RWD skylines(actually i think its more the the gearing most of the time , i think once Rb25's start making more than 300ish rwkw, they the gearing is to short with the low diff ratio, which multiplys the torque, and is not the best for drag radials a they struggle with regaining traction once spinning compared to a rag tyre, which absorbs more energy , reckon it would be better with something in the mid 3's ratio wise)) buy a vl turbo or a R31 and they will easily 60ft on the street constistently as well as a GTR/WRX etc on drag radials.

cheers

Is it better to launch in 2nd gear then do you think? I know the Impreza can give better 0-100km times if launched in 2nd.

Can you not run positive camber to help an IRS car?

That's just hyperbole. No traction in 3rd even? C'mon!

Highly untrue. GTR lags like dog balls. Imagine a 10 second Gtr with -5 turbos doing a 60k roll race. Wait I Did this! My r33 gtst 280rwkw vs r32 Gtr 385rwkw. 60k roll. I maxed my speedo b4 he caught up. A 10 sec GTR is nothing without the launch. You GTR fanboys crack me up :P

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
