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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
