Rhino..

Sorry, but i find it VERY hard to believe that a 300 with only boost and zaust can pull a 13.1.

The TT models were quoted in Japan as 1580 kilos, pulling 14.5's in stock trim on 104 octane local fuel. There's a big step from there to 13.1 Maybe your mate has a little more under the bonnet than he lets on. :D

cut out some of support bar.but its still the standard bumper

had to remove grill section at bottom only and some of the bits that hold fog lights in nothing major.

the guy who fitted the tanks and pipework works from home and he's never done car stuff before (alloy boat builder).mine mounts the front of the chassis rails and ties into bonnet catch at top.

i will get you a pic soon, pity i didnt take one with bumper and support off it looks awesome then. its tapered at top to fit under headlights its so wide

as i argued in the other thread, these times are a LITTLE fast

i have 4 mates with zeds (1 has 2, dont ask:P)

1. completely stock - 14.2

2. filter exhaust - 14.34

3. filter exhaust boost(12psi) - 13.8

4. filter exaust boost SAFC - never ran down track but got beaten by shannon who runs 13.6 - approx high 13s

5. twin td06s, full race engine (475rwkw) - 12.6 spinning the whole way

from this i conclude that low 13s and high 12s are impossible with only filter exhaust and boost on a 300zx

Ok , I think we can leave the arguments aside now and perhaps look at the more productive and interesting questions like :  

How to run a 13 with less than 200rwhp.

And

How to get a quicker launch and 60ft time in your skyline on race day.

:)

Put it in a pintara station wagon with a single spinner diff

then youll get 13.8

But in all seriousness ive been to all but one wednesday drag meet this season, and the biggest problem i see with the r33 drivers at the drags is too much wheels spin

too Hard launches

try slipping the clutch a little go get moving and get boosting then once you are moving gradually apply the throttle, im sure your times will not suffer from this method, though your clutch may do.

I've been in contact with the guy who ran 13.1 in his Z.

He has the following mods:

Exhaust

Boost

Replaced the radiator fan with an electrically driven one ???

225 tyres

aftermarket sus.

clutch (6 months old)

And he has the heater on full bore when going down the 1/4 (he thinks it helps??)

He does a smallish burnout before each run. I'm not sure what the purpose of replacing the fan fulfills and I'm not sure how beneficial having the heater on for the run is but you can't deny the timeslip (I forgot to ask the terminal, I'll try to find out).

'Blame' his quicker time on the better aerodynamics of the Zed or the different rear-end setup of the R33's and Zeds, but at then end of the day I think it comes down to actually being able to get the best from your car. I'm the first to admit that I'm a long way from doing this with my R but I'm lucky because the 4WD takes a lot of the hassle out of the launches. But the more quick Skylines around the better in my book and things can only get faster:uh-huh:

i swear your drag strips must run downhill

Actually i think the motorplex is the most downhill in aus, it drops the most over the quarter that the regulations allow, so we should have the fastest track.

As for the z's, they have an insane amount of straight line traction, must be a combination of a little extra weight, and a good suspension set up. (Not much sideways traction though!)

I reckon the extra grip, the slightly bigger engine = more torque, and the two turbo set up brings boost on earlier, again more torque. Thats gotta be the difference.

yep thats my mate who's zed run 12.56 i think it's best mph was 116.5 too i think! as a matter of interest i raced his brothers z the other night and i got him off the line by about 1/2 car but by about 80k's he just flew by and pulled about 3-4 lengths on me! his car has a 2 1/2 cat back system (cats-modified) 12psi, hks pod filter, loosened (3000) std convertor and thats it, i think the reason i got him off the line is the fact that his car wheel spins quite abit due to the 225 tyres being abit small/crappy!

the fan on the z is supposed to be multi speed or something so it really doesnt cause that much of a drag on the engine apparently

plus electric fan will not pull in the same amount of air either when required! plus a zed will pick up a heap of power from the filter mod compared to a sx or line! TTZ went from 14.2? to mid 13 on the street but i guess it possibly picked up some boost from the less restrictive intake maybe?

Regarding our Drag Strip..(Perth)

Apparantly we have the best conditions on the Earth..

What with hot dry days for track prep...

Cold sea breeze (Fremantle Doctor) arriving mid-late afternoon

And really sexy chics to spur you on...

Why wouldn't ya!?!?!

hey from memory with couple of small mods eg advanced timing , boost & fuel one of the sub zero's skylines ran 13.2 or 13.4 plus it was auto when nearly std! So wats this ***** low 14 sec or high 13sec stuff all about? They didn't need pineapples or any of this other crap! just GOOD simple mods & good driving i guess!

Drag racing is a skill that I doubt anyone here has mastered, or come close.

John tang's silvia pulled 11.4, but he wasn't driving. He hired someone to race it because the only times he was getting was 13's!! Imagine havin a 11 second car but could only pull 13's, You'd be pissed!!

    • To be determined, Luke, to be determined. 😁 Definitely the car
    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
