he doesnt just do VLs either

i would seriously recommend him

da guy knows what his on about and his a nice guy to get along with never bullshits with u and never ****s u around...

very professional at what he does..

ive seen R33s 180s silvias 200sx a his work shop before and all happy customers as well..

but yeh.. i guess that sort of stuff is all personal choose anyway

What has that got to so with what i said?

r31 nismoid

u ever been in a car quicker then a 12 sec pass?

Yeah, i can most certainly say i have. On more than one occasion too.

And if it wasnt for a sticky set of tyres on the rear end (read:not street legal tyres)

Then the ride would have been full fo wheelspin and utterly boring as any car can smoke a set or treads.

Dont get me wrong, i just see no value in a car that you cant drive to it's fullest without using slicks, or sitting at the start line at the drags for 3-4second spooling your turbo, where-by means even if you ran a 10, you'd have been hosed anyhow by a 12 sec car.

This may seem like a stupid question - but indulge me...

Why do the VLs 'spool' at the start line?  

Or, more to the point, why do they take so long to 'spool'?

To get the power up on the stall converter so they leave the line with as much power/boost as possible.

Or by using a transbrake which has a similar principle.

If they didnt sit there for so long, and just went like every other car, then they'd be running nowhere near the times they do.

Hence why if i can go at the green in my car with no spooling, run a 12...

A VL sits there for 3-4 seconds after the green spooling... runs a 10

Then technically (in my eyes) no matter how fast it went... i would still be at the finish line before it :aroused: and hence the winner of a drag.

But everytime i say that it kicks up a stink, so im sitting back, waiting for the stink :cheers:

Coz they run big bush bearing turbos, high stall autos and transbrakes. They need to sit on the line to get onto boost, onto their highstall and then they release the transbrake and take off. If u were to take off like a normal car, the car would spit and fart and not do to much

They can spool up long before the light go's green and just release the transbrake on the green, but often on test and tune days they dont bother and just spool up and check gauges etc.

Doesnt matter who crosses the line first imho, its a race against technical barriers and the time on the slip.

INASNT.. do me a favour man

go home tonite...

rent ur self 2 fast 2 furious.. get out ur bottle of lube...

and pretend ur a hardcore street racer...

and dont talk no more.. cause ur just a dick head..

obvioulsy u never been in a quick VL if u think it really takes us 3 minutes to start spooling.. at calder.. we usually let the ricer take of b4 we even start spooling we then hit da trans break or stally what ever they got.. get it to da right about of boost.. make sure were making as much power as we possibly can to take off with..

so really.. if you dont know what ur talking about.. just go watch ur movies.. and then jump in ur 14 sec car and take cnrs ok

...

thanks

so im not starting an argument with u

cause im only gonna get banned again and i cbf creating a new account

It seems you've got a REALLY short memory...

Enjoy making your new account :thumbsup:

Oh, and just a tip, next time you and your full sik bro's are at calder, just get out your stopwatch and see just how long they sit there after the green.

I think you'll be pleasantly amazed.

who the hell are you man, i've never heard so much crap in my life, if you wanna spend about a hundred grand on traumatics and trans brakes and stall converters and 9 inch diffs and ladder bars and then have someone drive your car around on a trailer go ahead, what a waste, you obviously don't understand the dynamics of a skyline when you drive a boat with wheels, VL commondores are the worst handling of all, they were designed to have a bench seat in the front so they were all given really soft spongy front springs then the bench seat was canned but they still got floaty boat suspension, have fun at calder dickhead, enjoy the drive their on the back of a trailer, i'd rather drive mine there do a high 11 and drive home and only spend about 30 grand to have a quick daily driver instead of a trailer bound strip basher.

Happy driving dumbass

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
