Hey Guys

Going to take the GTR down to WSID in a few weeks for a run down the 1/4 mile , I've been doing abit of reading on these forums to try and work out what times the car should be roughly good for , I've seen some very differen't results though.

Basically the run down on the car is it's an r32 GTR with really no extra weight ( stero's and the like) , I have a dyno graph from the previous owner from when the PFC was installed and tuned at C&V which is for 275kw@all four wheels. In this form on a perfect run what should the car be able to do ? , I'm hoping for high 11's am I asking too much?. What would 275kw@at all four be in rwkw as I am a little confused on how it would be worked out seeing as it is not a constant 4wd (coming from a wrx back ground here) .

Also another thing with the car it has adjustable cam gears but they haven't been fiddled with yet and are at the stock setting's. If I'm chasing a decent 1/4 mile time should I be looking to get them adjusted for peak power , mid range , or low down . I know that last one might be a stupid question as I have my own thoery on what I should be looking at getting them adjusted for just wanted to check with the people who are in the know .

cheers

Brett

Brett, there's one good way to find out ...

Nice M coupe by the way I've admired it at the last few street meeting's at WSID nice to see the times are dropping and starting to live up to that awsome trap speed

Thanks Brett. It's not as easy as it looks!

Provided ANDRA scrutineers pass the car with the front runners and slicks we should see a better ET with some decent traction. Here's hoping!

Finally got out there last night only got to have one run due to the rain coming down . First and only run was 12.3@111mph with the whole front splash tray bent down and dragging the track from about halfway. Little dissapointed with the trap speed but putting it down to the gravel tray for now . Car made 275rwkw at unigroup the week before I would say this power should be good enough to trap 115-117mph ??? what do you guys think.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
