I don't know how your tracks work in au?

But I have to let off at 1/8th in order to keep running.

So I determine my runs by the 60 footer.

Which I have nailed a 1.8 sec

Pwr in the 0.26 which my friend in he's gsx 600 has that

Which is basically the same as the Citroen xsara wrc Rally race car only with better launch capabilities.

it sure rocks my internal organs lol

Not a fan anymore of drag racing

Now I'm NASA and looking forward for some touge runs.

Not mentioning drag racing is kind of dead here.

Imports that is????

1.8 on drag radials? Should be lower than that!!!

I was putting down 1.9-2.0 60fts with 220rwkw and average 225 street tyres... Probably had a tread-wear of 250-300.

And around 2.0-2.2 60fts with over 300rwkw

Practice makes perfect!

I wish my Skyline was a calais turbo, it would be worth more, I predict they will rise in price even more whereas my skyline is deprecating like a lead ballon.

I've even been looking for a clean cheap one to do up.

Some one sell me one, cash, I doesn't even need a motor.

^_~ at Skyline owners who want to turn sports cars into drag cars (apart from R33 GTS-T owners as they are the new Calais Turbo)

10 second cars generally need overnight parts from Japan

Yet you go on R35 forums and everyone is willy waving and patting themselves on the back for the impressive stock 1/4 mile times of the car they just bought.

At least most GTST owners know the business end of a spanner.

Hell we even have to change gears the old fashioned way!

F1 will go back to manual gearboxes soon. Mark my words.

It's the only way to be for people who actually appreciate driving and CAN drive.

If you watch that video of senna taking the NSX around Suzuka you will understand.

You just can't exercise that sort of flair and craft in an auto car.

It's too easy.

Not a chance, the time lost during shifts would win or lose a race, I'll bet you a beer, and I take beer bets very seriously.

I think he isn't arguing the fact that the auto box is faster, but more the thrill and the more hands on work of driving a manual car over an auto. I get sick of manual when driving through traffic, but I get bored shitless when I am driving an auto through fun roads. When you are shifting gears, holding your wheel and controlling your feet, you feel like you are in full control rather than just planting your foot and looking straight.

It's just unlikely F1 teams will de-engineer a car to go slower, I like driving manuals to but then I'm not racing for sheep stations in a billion dollar environment.

Back on topicish, autos are good for the drags.

And I'm loving this thread, its got everything.

<br />Lol<br />My bad <br />Sure didn't sound right tho...<br />That was with falken tires.<br />I will see if I can find my old slips.<br />Here is my car before the NASA upgrades<br /><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii208/humlebee/9e325454.jpg" /><br />

Nice structural radiator you have there.

Fluidyne radiator, ps cooler, oil cooler

They do great stuff

Car runs at 160 to 168 degrees all the time.aero work diff cooler turbo intake and suspension.

Lots and lots of things I most change

Easy way is to replace those old rear cross member bushing in favor of solid aluminum bushings.

Both cross member and diff.

A 1.5 LSD and a engine torque damper.

Sprung type clutches if you care about your stock tranny.

There is lots of things you can do to improve your 60 footer

Such as one piece drive shaft etc...

Mazworx has spend yrs on Silvia's so he was my guide.

I had also a spare set of rear wheels.

All I had to do is swap rims.

The art of torque and successfully transferring torque to the ground.

We're go big or go home is law

We're alcohol and nos is the two hands of god

Displacement and flow is your only bible

Antilag and gear ratios is you mom and dad

That was my mentality.

I could never get my leg to stop shaking like a wet dog tho........

I guess all my adrenaline goes to my right leg , when I was drag racing.

Can't say I hated it.

The only way it stopped was flooring down the gas pedal like if I wanted to pierce the front fire wall lol

It hade a mind of its own I guess... ;)

It's just unlikely F1 teams will de-engineer a car to go slower,

You mean like how traction control was removed, engine sizes made smaller and rev limits reduced?

De-engineering comes from F1 rules not what the teams want. They would be driving computer controlled V8 turbos with continuously variable transmissions if they had free reign.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
