What tyres were you running and size, pressure???

I think you would run lower 12's if you decrease your 60 foot by a bit. Also I hope they did not let you run the water sprayers on while you did the run...that is just stupid!!!

And I am guessing that was with a bit of wheelspin considering the torque that engine must produce

Standard Nankang street tyres on my mags 235/40/18 with 20psi pressure - The water sprayers were on - they dont leak onto the ground - very small misting nozzles from the states - got them from a guy on this forum actually.

The run where i got a 12.9 was NO wheel spin. got a good launch - Clutch slip launch

18's??

try it again with a set of 16's and 225's with 20psi air in them.

I'm sure you could get it better..

hmmm..

in my S14 I was launching at 4000-4300rpm and that was best for me with heavy'ish 17x9's and 255's.

anything below 4000rpm and it would bog, even with slipping the clutch..

anything above 4300rpm would require backing off to get traction.

I raced, my first run was my new PB (not by much tho, down from a 14.145 @ 102mph). The next 2 runs were sloppy so I parked it for abit to watch all the PAC Rotory cars and heaps of other cars. Next think I know it's 10pm and i'm driving out the exit gate

14.009 @ 102.07 / 2.089sec

I also managed a 0.035 R/Time too which is my PB.

I was in full street trim (minus my subwoofer). Tyres (225/50/16) were still at 38psi too but I need some Nitto's now :/

I'd say without a doubt the best nites racing in a good 3mths or more... can't wait until it's winter again !! I'm still far from happy with my times but i'm still improving each week so i'll be back again.

  • 4 weeks later...

finally got to to to the street meet for the first time!! it was a good experience but disappointing! I had only 2 runs before the rain. first run i got bogged a little and my clutch not holding as well, and only managed 13.69s @ 108.7mph & 0-60ft 2.4s!!! well my second run i tried to launch at higher rpm (5500rpm) and riding the clutch but then my clutch (pressure plate) just gave up and got stuck half way! :cheers: getting my clutch replace this Saturday!!

will be back when i run in my new clutch!!

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
