hey guys, does anyone have rough figures of what the follow cars with the following power can do in a quarter mile?(power = @ wheels)

gsts vs gtr @ 200kw, 250kw, 300kw, 350kw, 400kw

ie: 200kwgtst = 13s

200kw GTR = 12.4s

yes of course every car will be different, but just rough estimates of each will do

would be interested in users posting their 1/4 time and kw@wheels(figures that are close to 200-400kw's@wheel)

also state tires used please

just wanna see how much 4wd is better:P

heheheh

cheers

I've seen R33 GTST's in Sydney with exhaust, fmic, power fc run 12.9-13.9 and I've also seen GTR's with the same mods run 12.4-13.4 so I'm thinking at best 5 tenths different

i assume this time gap gets wider as the power increases.........

would like to see direct comparisons of kw ratings as stated in main post

that doesn't show me much

it only tells me time

not engine kw or what wheel drive

read the main post of what i want.... to compare rw and 4w

The list I linked you to ( http://skylines.pnc.com.au/drags.html ) actually tells you the model of Skyline (ie R32 GT-R, R33 GTS25t etc.) so if you know your Skylines you'll be able to figure out if it's RWD or AWD. AFAIK not one of the entries on that list uses RWD only if they have AWD and nor do any of the RWD guys have AWD transplants. If your not sure what model Skyline came with AWD then do a search.

As for rw/awkw levels, most of the entries on the list have this info in there sig's or listed under their profiles somewhere - try a search and see how you go. All the info your seeking is already on this forum in one way or another. It may take a bit of a search but you'll find it. Have fun :cheers:

You can get a 2WD to hook up pretty well, but at least it won't have the driveline losses of a 4WD at the high end of the track. Or weight.

Edit: and there's no way that "400rwkw" car has that much power. If it did it would have run alot more MPH...

Why would you assume that, do you think the only cars that are quick down the 1/4 mile are AWD?

because the more power u have, the more tranction probs u are gonna have........

never said ONLY AWD is fast;) just trying to find the disadvantaged time of traction loss or traction gained from AWD

as u stated: 12-13s on gtst is disadvantaged about 0.5s

oh didn't click on the names, lol

from what im seeing so far

~300kw@rw will get u abt 12s on the quarter

but 2rismo has 200kw and still got ~12, maybe good launch + tires, etc

so ugh.......

The USA dynos factor a much lower drivetrain loss than our Aussie dynos. As a rough example (ie using totally bogus figures) ...

Australia: 250fwhp ='s 170rwhp - results in a 14.5 @ 100mph 1/4

USA: 250fwhp ='s 220rwhp - results in a 14.5 @ 100mph 1/4

It doesn't matter as long as your comparing apples to apples (ie US dyno figure vs other US dyno fig's). Compare Aussie fig's and US fig's and it won't add up.

My car makes ~470rwhp on a US dyno, woo hoo! :cheers:

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
