Decent amount of power, which is backed up by the 124MPH trap speed. All you need now is traction.

I managed 120MPH with mid-high 200, hoping mid 300 will net around 128MPH, and somewhere in the 11sec bracket - love a 10 but not fussed.

haha you know you want to run a 10:) maybe hire a decent driver :)

Andrew, I've got a brand new set of MT ET Street Radial 2, but not in the size most are running, mine are 265/40/18 (ordered them the instant I heard rumours AIR was ready to go) I've also got a set of Toyo R888 in the same size.

I want to see what I can achieve on a non-traditional size wheel-tyre combo. Let's face it, I'm not going challenge any records using the usual set-up, so why not try something a bit different.

Matty, ya smart arse! LOL It's my mechanical sympathy, not a lack of driving skill ;)

never heard of that size matt.

Im chasing a pair of drag radials in 16"(any brand) to try on my car, anyone know of any for sale?

ive only raced on cheap street tyres, and they are less than ideal at the track.

I agree, nothing more spectacular than a redline side step of the clutch in an R.

I don't reckon anyone on here has the balls to do it to their GTR though.....other than Martin maybe

Happy to be proved wrong though :whistling:

Andrew (Blue32), I want to see you pull the fuse and then try to launch it off the line ;) A driver of your calibre and AWD is a piece of piss, you need a challenge :)

hmmmmm................ :whistling:

Cmon Bartlett lets see what you got. Apparently Art is coming out to line you up in the pink terror.

BTW you are going up on the wall of fame today at work :)

No point in going out there with anything unless its full prep.

Andrew (sky30), the ET Street Radial 2 is the same compound as the ET Street Radial 1 but they come in a different tread pattern and are designed for larger diameter rims. Here's a Cadillac CTS-V on 20" ET 2's doing 1.6sec 60ft - auto trans helps too.

I agree with Martin, if there's no track prep, then don't even bother. I've got video footage of me attempting to run a pass on an unprepared AIR surface and you can hear the car spin from 1st through 4th gear.

lol, auto trans more than helps..it makes a big difference on a low profile radial, nowhere near the same shock on the sidewall

cheers

Hey Darren, been a while mate! Is the 31 up and running?

Auto trans clearly suits the low profile drag radial best. When it comes to drag racing, auto dominates manual period!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
