Guys im gonna be running down the 1.4 at WSID this wednesday.

Never driven a full drift setip car on a 1.4 mile run b4. So dont know what to expect. Any guesses on my time?.

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"...

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
