I went to wsid on last week, ran 12.01 @ 120..5 mph, couldnt get traction off the line with only 2.0 60 ft.

Let tyres down and then got a1.6 60ft but clutch would not hold. Was hoping for an 11 but this was on 19s with mega stiff coil overs.

Will fit 4.11s one day and retune for 30 psi on e85 one day to try for 10s, currently on 21 psi on 98. Any ideas what else i can do ?

What does the mph reflect on current potential and power output? What times could be expected from an r34 gtr with this mph?

get rid of the 19s trust me go 17 or 18s , you will shave off some time straight away , try go for some M/T street slicks , this will improve your time.

with a better 60ft you would of been in the 11s so you can expect a minimum 11.5, guessing you got 300-400awks ?

it has 371kw @ wheels running -10 turbos on only 21psi, does the mph support this?

I have a nismo twin plate but that didnt seem up to the task and will need to put some sticky tyres on the stock rims.

Need to pull the engine out to change a few things tho so might not happen for a while. What clutch is recommended?

19s are hopeless for drag conditions imo,ive tried it and learned the hard way sure some guys are getting good times but what kind of hp are they producing?

if they were to race again with 17" rims on sticky tyres they would get an even better time, all i know is when i changed down to a smaller tyre my time improved and then improved once again once i switched to semi slicks,all this matters when it comes down to chasing the the absolute best time your car can achieve. your wheel and tyre combo will also determine mph,i was getting a better mph with 19s eg 133mph now im getting something like 125 mph

personally i think going big wheels and street tyre to the track is a waste of time.

Normally, I would agree with the above, however, you said that you managed to get a 1.6 60ft with lower tyre pressure but your clutch slipped.

If you manage a full run with a 1.6 60' you will get into the mid 11's. However, this might prove diffcult to always replicate.

Either way, as stated already, smaller diameter tyres with grippier tyres will definitely improve your times, And with more power, a 10 is definitely possible.

Coppermix twins are rated at somewhere around 470kw, so its probably just worn out rather than not up to the task. Rebuild time.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
