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!!

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
