A rather frustrating night @ the drags...

[rob77]

But adam32 insists that I need a AFC to make it into the 13's because I dont have enough power. From the way I read mosts of the posts here it seems power is more important than traction and that you must have more power in order to run a good 1/4 mile time. The car is definately making the speed down the track, the terminal speed shows this. Its just a matter of getting the traction initially.

You guys Bitch More then ya ex girl firends do.

Rob, get a stronger clutch, and buy some slicks. you'll get your high 13 then.

As for the the statement! YOU never have enough power. Always want more and more

[skyzerr33]

Got Boost has an R32

its lighter, so should be faster in that respect with the same mods as an R33.

13.7 i doubt you'll get with your current mods even with decent road tyres slicks maybe.

but a 13.9x is not impossible just look at mine and MrSnub times both with filter, 10psi and cat back zorst.

[rob77]

Exactly. But everyone is telling me a 13.xx pass is impossible on my current level of power. I *NEED* a AFC..... BS. So again the issue is re-enforced, you can get into the 13's with just exhaust, pod and boost, you need good clutch and wider tyres than stock and possibly some more suspension stuff. Rang ross @ auto clutch this morning but he's away till the 28th.

I'd say it would pull a 13.7 quite easily.  

Rob

No wrong again your memory seems off a little.

We told you that a mid 13 to 13.7(see your claim above) was highly unlikely with your setup as no one else has managed those figures without more mods than you have.

There is a BIG difference between 13.xx(13.999) and a 13.7

Now please shutup about it and go do a 13.5 - 13.7 before posting anything again on this thread.

Then we'll all happily FOAD for you

Rob,

if you going to pay for the labour to fit the clutch then maybe hold off and get a light flywheel at the same time too, you won't regret it. The best unit is the ogura chrome molly 4.8kgs! costs about $600 + freight, the stronger chrome molly won't scratch up as bad with the puck style clutch ,as much as the stock one will.

I agree that the S-AFC is un-nessesary to achieve the 13, you clearly have enough power, the right tyres and clutch will see you there since you have the KCA349 already.

A tallish profile of tyre will suit best (55-60 series), don't go the 40 series they have too little side wall flex. Having said that street tyres aren't designed to flex/wrinkle the side walls anyway, so anyone know of a good brand for this?

[GOT BOOST]

ROFLMAO

you guys crack me up made very funny reading

dont forget us 32 driver still are lower on cubes than 33's

most skylines ive seen at drags on street rubber all suffer from traction 1st and 2nd. a bit of trail and error gettin it off the line

and the times will drop. fittin those pineapples definetly helped my car with changin the pinion angle.and im still only runnin 205 nankang crap tyres.at 20psi when racing.ive got 16x8 with 225's for next time

[adam 32]

can someone quickly post the details of the whiteline kit? its Kxxxx isnt it? and where i can get it. $1xx from memory?

thanks! (not hijacking )

Rob i can def reccomend ross, payed eight hundred something for a nine puck with a 2500p plate all fitted. Best thing i have ever done to my car(so far) have fun:bonk:

[GOT BOOST]

i bought mine from wilkinson suspension

but try Dr Drift i think his name is.his are cheaper

and fit them yourself theres nothing to it.

[JH32]

GOT BOOST: Have you noticed that the kit has improved your car in any way?

How has it affected it?

And how much were they?

cheers

[rev210]

KCA349 is the Part No.

Got from the guys in Subi on hay street, bout $113.

For those who don't have the kit; go buy one now!

[JH32]

So how does it affect the car?

This part number is prolly only for R33 isnt it?

[GOT BOOST]

depending on the position of the bushes you can set for drift or traction or inbetween.

i noticed it gave better traction. it firms up the rear sus hanger to the body.it takes the slack out of rubber mounts.

[JH32]

Cool ok ...

how much did your ones cost from Wilkinson Suspension??

[adam 32]

rev

is that john @ wheels world?

[rob77]

Yes, wheels world are agents for whiteline. They arnt in subi any more though, not sure where they are now. Nasty landlord wanted to raise the rent to an unreasonable amount so they have moved.

Rob

[RadiuM]

rob77: haha so many different stories going around.

this is the version i heard.

he's gone under, owe's lots of money to people and because speedworks were renting off wheels world.. they have a month to move and are apparently moving to Osbourne Park.

this is a KCA349 Diff Lock kit right ??

Does this LOCK the diff completely ? I thought all lines were LSD anyway, why would you want to lock it ?

does this particular kit cause wheel-skipping around tight corners ? (i love that sound)

[Nexus_SiX]

No, this kit is just some rings that go into the sub frame mounting..

How the rear end sticks onto the car type thing.
