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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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:

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.

Shaun

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)

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
