Ok I have had my fair share of fast cars in the past.

Was thinking today what sort of power would the vq require to light up all 4s from a rolling start?

I have been in fast awd cars where you plant it and its 4 wheel light up s down the street.

Rolling start? I can only do it in the wet, unless you had some really crappy tyres you would be struggling in the dry.

Mine chirps into 2nd and 3rd in the dry, but only due to the stupid line pressure the current box is running. It's surprising how much power it can put to the ground actually.

Whats your specs scotty?

I browse iff my phone so hard to navigate around here.

would depend on trans a lot, autos are a lot smoother,so its less likely to happen, manuals have a harder transition between

gears and upset tyres more, its the sudden shock that gets thems spinning in the first place, and once a tyres unloaded its

easier to keep it there

cheers

c34 rs4s is 1650kg apparently

m35 should be around the same as it has a lot of alloy in it (block, rear subframe, bonnet?)

also my rs4s will do it with a big drop in the wet, i doubt an auto would do it in the dry without a huge amount of power

i went to drop off some scrap metal the other day, so i had to pass through tho weight bridge.

on exit when i unloaded the c34, it was me, my gf and bit less than half a tank of fuel and the car came in at 1720kg

So thats my factory stock rs4s no sunroofs no leather.

So if we minus, me 73kg, my gf, 45kg and whatever is left in the tank, 20l roughly

that takes the stagea to 1582kg roughly dry weight.

Still a bit heavy but ok

Mine was just under 2T on the Phillip Island track weighbridge, with two fat pricks (Aaron and myself) sitting in it, with a full tank. I have added a bit of weight with coolers and bracing, bigger brakes etc but the Bride seats are lighter than the stockies.

I just weighed Craig's old electric seats, they are 24kg each on the rails.

I just can't see it happening in the dry without 500kw+, which I assume is difficult in an m35. straightforward obviously for a c34.

Mine happily wheel spins as it comes on boost in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 4th on a hill or with a trailer on the back....as long as it is wet. In the dry it's hard to even chirp second.

My car is 1800kg with me in it - RB30, towbar etc. Can't see me spinning all four with quality 255 tyres - not prepared to dump the clutch in the dry as I would worry about breaking something before the wheels will spin!!

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
