There is a bit of talk about what mph a car should run at the drags with a given power output, thought be good to get sum results and discussion on this.

Be good to get sn idea of what mph a skyline should run with say

300rwkw

350rwkw

400rwkw

450rwkw

Etc.

So people post your mph results (1/4mile or 1/8mile, or both) and what power the engine made, and model of skyline.

400awkw 11.3 @ 125mph

500awkw 11.2 @ 130mph

Full weight R34 GTR:- spent lots of dough to get 100 extra KW and only dropped .1 of a sec and picked up 5mph in the deep. ( both with 1.7 Sixty's )

Should have let someone who could drive have a crack. Seen an 11.007 @ 127 same car 350awkw.

what time was that?

did you get half track MPH?

11.3 I think it was. It wasn't on the best surface. Half track NFI. I'll head back to the drags after my tune is complete and give it another go. Car has gone 11.1 previously.

125mph and 400rwkw don't really match, power is certainly down there. Even @ 500rwkw you should be sitting 134mph EASY.

R33 GTR 340rwkw

11.5 @ 123mph

Full weight (full tank & spare in the boot) with a larger sump (9.5ltrs)/brakes/oil cooler etc + 85kg driver.

I wish I'd put it on the scales to see how much over factory with all the extras.

HR31 GTS-R 220rwkw @ 1480kg

11.9 @ 110mph

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
