i thought so!!!:) I guess it all depends on what cars your comparing doesnt it, sure GOT BOOST's r32 would be more difficult to get down the strip than a r32 running similar times but you said rwd so what about a 454 lx torana with trans brake, auto 2 speed and a high stall, that would be pretty damn easy to get down the strip as opposed to a big turbo'd manual, irs 9sec GTR!!! So i will still say it was narrow minded!!! :)

umm 472bhp?!?!? Is that at the wheels?? 350rwkw?!?!

 

An RB20t??? Damn nice time even if it isn't.. :P

 

I almost find it hard to belive it is an RB20t... Care to share the basic setup?!

 

EDIT: Ahhh it appears its the might RB26DETT. :D

350rwkw isnt that unachieveable, i hope to have that as a minimum once i have finished my rebuild. I currentally have 223rwkw with moderate boost and a small turbo.

It is if you want the motor to be reliable.

To make that sort of power you need huge rev's, lots of lag and lack of streetability.

The use of a small exhaust a/r to reduce lag is also out the window as due to the small capacity of the rb20t you run in to surge issues.

Just as an example an RB20t turbo on a RB30DET will make peak power around 3700-4000rpm. That same turbo on the rb20t made peak power at 7000rpm.

15" NANKANG cross plys.

Were they $90 like I said ??? I hope so. Seemed cheap to me.

fresh and others - Slicks tend to wander i.e. walk side to side as you accelerate down the drag strip. They don't have steel belts like radial tyres to keep their shape and are more prone to shape change during a run which is where this wandering comes from.

If you have radial tyres on the front and slicks on the back, the result is often fishtailing, sometimes quite badly, as the radials drive straight ahead and the back wants to step out side to side.

I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of being crossed up at the end of a run @ 100mph+ :P

Front runners are cross-ply tyres just like slicks that let the front wander along with the back. They are usually quite thin (skinny) to help reduce the rolling resistance of the front end.

Hope this helps.

i wish $90 i had to pay $130ea here i couldnt find anyone except 1 dealer and he said he imports them privately. doesnt matter for awhile now as the clutch has said enuff to launching on the slicks. still managed a 11.2 last weds i was hoping to crack that 10.

What clutch are you running...price?

my clutch is a GTR pressure plate (recon) with brass button fiction plate. It finally died last weds. until i started using slicks it lasted quite well. My car makes 100hp more than it used too since cams and turbo upgrade so that hasnt helped the clutch much, i have a HKS twin plate to fit when i get keen enough.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
