meggala takes 1 second off his 1/4 mile time

[meggala]

yes this is true today i ran 14.04 in my r32 with out major engine changes compared to my 15.09 last time at the track.

what was different

my tyres were advan 032r's ( semi comps) and I fitted drift pineapples tuned for traction. my 60' time was 2.1 and I could have run faster than 14 . boost was .95 and I"m using an r33 turbo cooler etc. I also retained the firm bilstien suspension

see my site under my car for more info

So u think the pineapples helped?

I have 255 grid vs and all i can manage is a 2.5 60foot time

[meggala]

yes macka they helped heaps and heaps and heaps

really made a difference to the weight transfer even with the stock 205's back on it is much grippier. this is how most skylines should launch

meggala

have a look

The Pineapples are the 'only' thing that could have helped me pull a 13.8 ( I only put 1/2 the kit in --- the rear diff part ). Mine are the KCA349 whiteline kit.

I have a full HKS adjustable suspension setup but i will still need these pineapples yeah?

The damn thing is hard as a rock and get no bounce on take up just wheelspin

Maybe i should soften the dampes first as i have never adjusted the settings

You will find that even the 'soft' setting is harder than stock.

You could probably leave the damper setting tho' and just do the pineapples and run lower tyre pressure when you go to d' drags.

But, you 'NEED' the pineapples! You will like them.

[meggala]

I think softening them would be good but remember the pineapples alter the geometry a bit as well

[macka]

Ok then..........

I must have these pineapples
