My question would be if cars with minimal mods are doing 6 second flat (or under) 0-100km/h, then why are the 1/4 mile times not displaying that. If your doing a 0-100 in 5.9, then I would have thought the quarter would be a lot faster than 14.6

Example- humor me.

03-06 350z. Accepted to do a high 5.# second 0-100. Does a quarter in around 13.6 to 13.9. Stock.

Anyway, just my opinion. They might be going faster than I thought.

See what "the stag wagon" comes back with!?

That's because they're not doing sub 6 sec 0-100 times, lol.

I have no idea if the Pocket dyno is accurate. I only used it because a) it was free & b) a reasonable form of comparison. It tells me that I dropped ~1.5 sec from one test to another, but in the real world I could have dropped from 5:00 minutes to 4:58.5 (sic).

Hand timed runs or phone apps are useful but not a proper comparison across cars/driver/location. Need a drag strip or other fancy electronic timing for that.

Yeah, it is debatable. And its all been done before. Some people would remember the M35 vs VE sportswagon thread, where a road test claimed that a stock M35 would do a 13.5 quarter, and 0-100 in 5.7 secs. lol- I'll buy that one!

Have to strap on some high end accelerometers and get a real figure if we want to end the debate. Really, does it matter? We have a good range of 1/4 mile times, and hopefully some really fast ones too once Scott gets his back together, and sky^rit as well. So we can compare them, and there is no error or subjectivity with 1/4 times. :)

Went on u tube found a 2002 ar/x in Russia doing a 0-100 showing the speedo dash only so being bored I did 10 stop watch times on it and got an average of 6.5 it sounds about right. Giving the amount of n m these cars have.??????

awd does count for a fair bit on 0-100, but not so over a 1/4m. My s1 c34 0-100 started in the low 7s std, and did a 5.99 before it went pop, using a HKS hard wired timer! Will see with the new motor, low 4s hopefully?

With a highflow the 0-100 times will usually be slower, that is assuming both turbo's are tuned properly and run the same mods. It's only past 50kph that mine would start to wind up and by then the stocker would be 2 or 3 car lengths in front.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
