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

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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
