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!!

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
