I don't street race period.

I use nitro vs air.

Which when I set pressure it usually holds it for a long period of time.

Yes I double check prior runs but basically when it is tuned its done.

So I know when I drive home and go back the next weekend I still have the same psi.

Last thing is dot tires are street tires. They just don't last long as your regular dot 100+ thread wear.

The Hks hyper d coil overs are proven lethal in drag racing.

With less tuning require for fast runs.

I'm now using tanabe but if I was still into drag my car would still have hyper ds on it.

I have a reinforced Mazworx cross on it with solid diff bushings.

Helped me increase torque tho.

Sorry the google translate feature I'm using could not translate your language into English.

Its unfortunate I no longer have photoshop, MS Paint is hopeless.

I was going to photoshop a comeback of rednecks driving around in camo pants, but weve all seen your youtube vids :ph34r:

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.

Try live axle vs IRS, and vl's weigh a lot more than 1100kg..lol, try nearly 1300kg for a basic sl, and the calais are heavier, R31's are a bit heavier again, but made better.

fastest full street trim vl is around 9.7 at 142mph atm(e85), with stock suspension to i think, knowing what turbos on it, if it had the same turbo as it

had on it before, when it ran 9.9 on 98 0ctane it will go much faster no doubt

cheers

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

I think what he is saying is that at the sharp end of drag racing AWD is no advantage, it is only on street tyres and for drivers who can't drive that it helps a lot. :thumbsup:

haha drivers that cant drive, a 32 GTR can be unforgiving i assure you. Found that out first hand.

i give this thread a day before its in the wasteland

I stand corrected, their between 1250 and 1350 kg.

Those weights are for NA versions, you forget the turbo gear.. its actually between 1294 (SL)and 1383kg(calais), then on top of that you add a intercooler and piping as they never even had that standard.

cheers

R35's run pretty impressive times seeing as they weigh a crapload. Found this dyno sheet of a stock R35, for anyone interested.

You do realise they have a highly advantageous transmission compared to the standard manual/ auto boxes do you? That transmission alone shaves precious tenths off.

    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
    • And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.
