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.

    • Back on topic for you for a post Will it be on pump or ethanol? 2025 Spec RB build: G30 660 .83 would be good  artec manifold turbosmart 45mm external gate 1000cc Injectors Kelford cams 264 and springs Pistons and rods for insurance Oil pump with billet gears Headdrain and all good oil mods Quality intercooler 3.5 inch dump pipe to decent exhaust Link plugin Ecu or what ever your tuning is comforatble with Bolt on Trigger Kit - Nzwiring kit is go to ARP Headstuds Quality headgasket quality fuel pump- a TI/walbro 525lph PWM would be the go Quality fuel reg Will be over $15K AUD Enjoy the noise of rb on gate at over 7400rpm. Start looking for gearbox conversions if your hard on the gear. Now I've been there and done that with rb powered street car (2007-2022) much prefer newer stuff. Anything 90's Japanese is not a great experience these days and highly over rated. My 2015 Brz with a heap of suspension mods is such a better car even with out the power of my old s chassis' even on track. If wanting to play light chassis and decent power for a  giggle a k swap 86/brz would be the go Check my old build for engine stuff I really need to pay attention to post 2016 BMW stuff but seem all very heavy 1600+kg  
    • I mean, the 240i is not a Supra... make it drop a few hundred kg, have a sportscar chassis, clearance for wheels etc... Maybe I want a hardtop Z40i XDrive or something :p I do agree with you though and have long said the B58 Supra/240i/340i/440i is the new R Chassis/JDM90's turbo rocket for mod lovers to ... not always appreciative response lol. Doesn't make it not true though.
    • I will do the build myself but I will be paying for the tune because I don't know how much about that and would rather it be done right and by a professional 
    • Will you build and tune it yourself or do you need to pay for labour? 
    • Mechanically that's essentially what the M240i is, it's just not pretending it's not a BMW
