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!!

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
