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.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
    • Yeah I spent close to a year finding one. I was even tempted to buy a RB25DE N/A head and port it out. That latter option, could still be an option.
