Finally run a half reasonable time

12.1 @ 111mph

but i have a question... last time with 200rwkw i ran a 12.90 with 200rwkw or there abouts.

now im up around the 300rwkw.

My time has gone almost a second up, yet my MPH hasnt changed one skeric really. Any ideas why that is?

I made a nice 1.90ft, same as my old 12.9 run was.

So they were pretty similar, jsut the times changed :headspin:

At Heathcote i was running 12.7@111 and i have around the 235rwkw mark. What was your half track speed? Should be around 87mph. Something sounds a miss even with a 1.9 60'. Are you sure you werent shutting down just before the line, Ive done that before.

What mph was your 12.9?

12.1@111mph you must be getting of the line pretty quick!, i only ran 12.4@112mph when i went - and i have 4wd launch!

oops, it was 109mph, and id run 110/111 just for times of 13.00/13.10 etc

my 660ft times was 9.3/80.7 mph... i wasnt backing off thats for sure.

I kept my foot in right past the little white checkers :rofl:

i went easy on the launch as the cars just burns the tyres if i try a decent one

my 660ft times was  9.3/80.7 mph... i wasnt backing off thats for sure.

There is something wrong with that 660' time, your at least 1.0 off the pace and 8mph. Check it with your other runs at the 660' mark.

correction, stoopid a$$ me looknig at the wrong sheet

660ft was 8.00

mph/660 was 94.8=68

It has way more than it did wheni ran a 12.9, i seriosuly doubt there was another second in there back in its old form. I've changed nothing traction wise at all.

If anything the tyres are a bit older and crappier now than they were a year ago (12.9 @109mph/200rwkw)

I know the problem. :P

Well m yguess anyway is that the clutch was starting to struggle in the top gears, and what you though may have been wheelspin into 2nd nd maybe into 3rd was actually the clutch starting to give up...well perhaps a combination of both.

That night at Clader where you chopped me my clutch was getting worse with every run, by the end of th enight my mph had dropped 3-4mph when only running approx 200rwkws.

Anyway food for thought:)

with the power you claim your trap speed is way down might be an idea to run it up on a dyno just to double check maybe you have a problem ?. Your abit slow to the 660ft mark and you mph is down thing is your 60ft times aren't bad at all .

For whats it's worth I know my car is abit of a differen't kettle of fish but I have one of the slips here for a [email protected] and on that run went

660ft 7.837@91mph with a 1.8 60ft .

Also don't be fooled into thinking peak power dyno read outs are everything can you tell us abit more about the car and mods .

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
