I was neck and neck with an R35 GTR down the main straight of EC when I only had 320rwkw and im sure his wasnt standard.

So do we think that a properly set up 370rwkw+ 32 gtr would smoke an R35 from a rolling start at 60kph?

So too a standing start if the bloke in the 32 could drive?

I've often thought about this and I've come up with YES

and YES depending if the 35 uses launch control, which I don't think would happen much on the street

the R35 from the factory has proper launch control (full boost before you even start moving) not to mention the larger displacement and much newer tech but it does have a lot of KG on the 32.

without actually doing the test you cant say for sure though.

well what does a 35 run down the quater stock standard? somethin like mid 11's...alot of this good quater mile time can be put down to the launch control

have seen a few 35 run at WSID and they have been high 11's without using the launch by the sound and look of it...

an R32 with 370rwkw+ is potentially a 10 second car

yes i know there are other factors but im talking about a perfect world here

Theres a few clips on Youtube.

Well this in a roll on from 2nd. 600hp R35 v 700hp R34 GTR

So this has gone from a 10 sec RWD R33 GTS-t, to people that don't understand ATTESA.

Now it's onto R35s that have DSG. :laugh:

Surely this is ready for the Wasteland now?

It is.

Quality thread so far...

Yea well this thread got high jacked ages ago so im gettin in on it

just finnished watchin some other clips on youtube as well, havent seen this one yet

Well the DSG (cough...auto) does give quite a big advantage on the strip, also the R35 GTR has more gears so can make better use of its torque curve. It's almost like a continuously variable transmission.

To sum up, a 10 Rb25 is not all about having the power. Its the potential to get it down on the ground, from the get go. You need the launch, you need the traction, you need the quick smooth gear changes etc. You really cannot compare an R35 to any other manual skyline. Unless you're chuck norris, you can't out shift a DSG. Hell even chuck norris cant do it.

Power to weight will always win in my book

In a quarter mile track awd means nothing.

Most efi comes with launch control

Mine is set to 6.5

Mine was jumping to the left

Lowered the pressure on the right tire and helped alot.

So suspension and tires are destructive counter measures against awd cars.

I sure fear no awd car out there.

They are top prey in my food chain. ;)

So u drive around the street with less tyre pressure in your rear right tyre?

Or do u just jump out and lower it when ur at the lights after pulling up next to a GTR

This thread has come a long way from the first page, maybe he didn't read the OP where it was talking about street tires and full weight.

None the less it is a true statement. Ive seen some videos of VL's and rotors make some pretty quick passes with street tyres. The VL is a fat sloppy car while the rotors are generally fitted into a chassis which weights easily under a ton.

Fat as in they can in no way be compared to skylines in terms of their suspension work. My cousin has a VL which ran 12's or 11's and it had almost no suspension work. Fat as in when you smack the brake it rocks like a boat and handles like a boat. Skylines might be big and heavy but they really do not handle like boats. They are 1250Kg, 100kg lighter than my GTST.

I think that's why they are good for drags straight out of the box though, the soft wallowing suspension aids in the rear squatting and the front lifting, whereas the Skylines with there sporty suspension is a bit to firm for hooking up.

Although the VL does handle a bit more like the Queen Mary when going around corners.

I think, LOL.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
