Gday,

My car weight = 1350kg (yeah subs, sound deadening and zip ties)

2 dynos.. one said 180 the other said 200rwkw.

Can anyone tell me the ET and 60ft time I'd be expecting first time down the quarter?

I realise suspension and tyres make a difference and currently they're hard coilovers + low profiles, so I'm not expecting good times but would still appreciate a guesstimation within a second.

I'm wondering if I could get 13 with around 2.4 60" ??

Thanks :)

Just to give you a comparison, I ran a 13.7 (2.4 60") in my R33 which would be a similar weight (perhaps a little heavier). When I ran the car, it was making 185rwkw.

Similar power, similar weight - i'll let you draw your own conclusions on an approx ET you would run :rofl:

Thanks guys.

So hopefully with the subs out, more boost (210-220rwkw) and some OK driving I should see mid-low 13's. Good to know.

Just out of interest did you guys use stock suspension or coilovers? And lo-pro tyres?

Thanks.

Guys buy some drag radials and run what your cars are really capable of like 1.6-1.8 60fts which would put Roy into the 11's

Im after a true street time with my street tyres. Not interested in a time card i can only run 1% of the time.

Yeah it'd be nice to borrow someones set of radials and take out my subs and spare tyre etc for 1 or 2 runs so I can say I dipped into 11's or 12's (if it's possible). But really I'd like to also know the time my car runs with subs, petrol and spare wheel on lo-pros.. ie. how it is on the street :P

But thanks guys this is making me optimistic that with some practice I could hit mid low 13's and maybe even high 12's.

Thanks everyone!! (ps. bob if you end up getting a set I'd like to pay for 1 use one day heh)

Im still looking good for those tyres, just trying to par up someone down here to go halvies with me:) I need new semi slicks as well for track days that are coming up and the prospect of having to spend close to $3,000 on rubber scares me:(

Not really, its just that the car needs good rubber to get the power down, so that $1800 for the Dunlops for track and street, and i want to grab the BF Good rich drag radial and soem 16s to see if i can run around a 12.2:) So there you go 3k:(

And the susp i want isnt available yet, so am waiting for it to come onto the market , otherwise i have to spend about 1k more on an equivelant setup that is currentyl available.

I've got some RE55's already. It's not the same though I don't think. What if you wait an hour for a run then they are cold so you do a burnout and waste half of them then I wont have them for the track.

I suppose I'm just whinging and drag radials would get half wasted doing burnouts anyway.

Can you see me screaming "NOOOO!!!...my poor tyres!!!:("

Burnouts at the drags with 24psi DOES knock around the D01Js:(

But apparantly its the thing to do, so when at Calder...:)

Sorry..shameless posting of pics...i have hand feeds over these photos:)

My skyline weighs 1400kgs and with only 175kw(235hp) at the rear wheels on street tyres with sub in the boot spare tyre jack everything i ran a best of 13.60 at 102 mph with a 2.1 60ft with TRX rims which are only 6 inch wide. the only advantage i have is that with the 31 i do not have IRS so better intial traction. I am running 33 motor and box so the diff is the only difference but the ratio is about 3.8:1.

also i had dropped tyre pressures down to 20 pounds

since then have had the car tuned properly and now making 182kw's at the wheels and having rebuilt the LSD am waiting to run again hopefully lower in the 13's

Hmm wonder how my 235/40/18's Nankang (WOO GO THE CHEAPOS!) will go? :)

Ahh who cares I just wanna run it once or twice and see what I get. If anyone from here is going in the next month or two to the 1/4 please let me know so I can ask some q's and run with you :(

Cheers guys.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
