Thanks Steve,

Even clearer now, just like putting glasses on. I'm running at the Motorplex on Wednesday, I'll fit the pinapples after that and then compare my times.

Anyone with info on running with camber? The R33's do have camber bolts don't they?

See'ya:burnout:

Thanks for clearing that up, cheers mate.

Rob77,

I didn't say it didn't work for him, but I was told in general that it was a waste of time. Does anyone else run low pressures? If so what pressure and what tyres are they on?

See'ya :burnout:

have drag raced for quite a few years and running low tyre pressures is the way to do things. I forgot to let my tyres down last time and I was lucky enough to meet a bloke with a tyre guage.

19/20 psi or lower for most tyres. Your sidewalls will stay on the rim as long as you don't try going around corners real fast.

Zoom can kiss my ass! A sample size of at least 30 is required to make something statistically valid (though not necessarily absolutley true) I wish I had a dollar for every time something is 'proven' by a test involving 3 or 4 cars, products or runs.

Heyas,

I Have JIC Coilovers and my ride is as hard as all hell! due to the firmness of the coilovers and the hardness will that be an advatnage when i decide to do the quarter? Prob would stop a bit of squatting at the start fo the drag but would it in any way help out wiht wheelspin or would the cradle kit and pineaples still be the way to go?

I guess everyone has their own thoughts on tyre pressure, but personally, I don't think lower pressure on street tyres will make much of a difference.. but of course, there's so many different tyres, and every one runs different rim width and diameter sizes so who knows..... what's good pressure for someone, may prove to be slower for others.

I first run (out of 8) gave me my second quickest time. This was on standard tyre press of 34psi, and I'm pretty sure that my quickest time was only better because I was starting to get the launches down pat. I won't bother lowering pressure next time.

my 2c.

This is just like the burnout, no burnout argument.

I was doin burnouts before each run last wednesday assuming it was giving me traction. Since then i've heard of many people that it makes f#ck all diference on street tyres. But on sunday I started off the day with no burnouts but found first gear just kept spinning. So I tried doin the burnouts again and ran 13.74.

I couldnt be assed connecting my scanner and loading up the software (cos I havent reloaded it since I re-did windows). So I took a photo of it.

hey i may be missreading it but when your at the drags that sheet is telling me you should be changing gears just before 5500rpm each change other wise you gonna start decelerating. and you want to be launching at about 2500rpm as you start to get a bag fall of torque then.

yes i know

but torque is related to acceleration

when your torque starts to drop off is when you want change gears otherwise you'll start to loose momentom. that why i say you have to know your car

Change gears around your horsepower peak buddy.

Before or after depends on how sharp the fall off is and what the gear ratios are like.

Rob: as above.

:P

You also need to take into account where the change will put you in the rev range for the next gear. No use changing at 5500 if it puts you in a crap place in the next gear.

You should experiment according to the dyno sheet and find a balance.

Managed to pull 273.5PS @ 6608rpm on the rear wheels, using Speedworks new DynaPak dyno.

With the mods you have, 273 sounds close to the hp you'd have at the engine, not the wheels. Are Speedworks sure the dyno wasn't set to estimate power at the engine?

in that case I can't help but think you have other mods done to your car than what you're telling us

also why are cars in the wrong classes?? like has everyone had an engine conversion to something drastically larger?

eg ur in 3401cc - 4500cc

what engine u running??

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
