Specs:

Weight: 1400 kg inc my skinny azzz

Power: 170 rwkw approxx

Im hoping for a 14 sec pass.. Low 14's

I got a 14.56 @ 98mph, or there abouts. That was with the old tyres that were on the car from japan, and wheel spin city. But my advice would be let the tyre pressure down. Another mate gained about 0.5sec from pretty much tyre pressure alone.

Even if you dont get a good run, look at the mph, its a better indicator.

From previous attempts (on closed reads :wassup: ) to get the car going from stationary it does spin its nuts off and that was launching at 3000 revs.

But beacuse of the stiff coilovers the car seems to do a jumping jack flash at the rears all over the place. Hmm. Ill do the usual let the tyres out and so forth but dont know much about the stiff suspension?..

launching on a road and a track are completely different.

when you launch u should launch using ur handbrake... also dont flat ur foot... hold to about 3k and let the clutch out.... dont dump it... feather the throttle so ur backing off just a little when its spinning to gain traction and then balance it with more revs etc and once u have enough traction put the foot into its arse and change ur gears as quick as possible :D

OK Boyz.. I did a 14.2 my best time.. with spare tyre in the back + subs woofer, bad launches, Faulty gearbox (all gears hard to get into and crunching) and speakers etc.. pretty much street trim on the car..

Should have been a high 13's but oh wellz... its a drift car afterwall not a drag car. :wassup:

LOL Will post up my sheet soon and a vid of me running it.

here is my time slip. Damn it with the speed i was carrying i should have been a high 13's for sure. What u guys reckon. becuase due to meggala he said that at 98mph would have been a low 14's. But at 100.88 on mine would have been at least a 13.9 or lower. :)

My rection and 60 foot timed sucked. LOL .. not bad for a first go btw. So what u guys reckon.

Im still trying to upload the vid onto sau.

the guy next to me was a vl commhore.. Absolute sleeper. It looked like a stock vl.. with bad panels and paint etc. Only found out what he had under the hood when he pulled away from me after 2rd gear. rb25 block with bigger turbo i found out later on. LOL. :thumbsup:

I was mugged i tell ya.. hahaha

meh thats not that bad for the time :thumbsup:

Dr_Drift ran a 14.05 in my R32 with 142.5rwkw @ 93MPH

shows what a launch can do for ur times :)

The soarer ran a 13.8 @ 102MPH but thats a much heavier car and an auto...

it only had 154rwkw

Damn commodores with Nissan engines in them. :thumbsup: At least you know you got done by an import engine though :)

I think perhaps we are all a little jaded now with the 10 sec factor. A 14 sec time and low at that is good. I'd be lucky if my A31 ran a 20 second pass *chuckle*

My mates call VL's "poor man's skylines" lol!

and i totally agree with your "10 second factor comment"...

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
