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!!

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work. 
    • Potentially some interesting data for some of you here; Hank Iroz from Iroz Motorsport testing a new Xona Rotor 5964S on a Audi RS3 2.5L DAZA motor. https://facebook.com/share/p/14EU18MyDqZ/ Cliff Notes: Turbo has the new Xona XRE compressor aero with an X4C compressor cover, reportedly 0.64 rear housing. 900whp (670kw) @ 37psi, 170k shaft speed, motor is making 2bar (29psi) boost by roughly 3800rpm, 500lbft (670nm) torque by 3500rpm. They overlaid a stock RS3 on USA 91 fuel (red), and a "Stage 2" RS3 on E85 (yellow), and this 5964S (blue) - the 5964S isn't losing any ground to either. Apparently out-flowing their prior tests with a Xona 8264S (green), and this 5964S (white) also has a smaller A/R than that did.
