Robo: Are you planning that high 11/low 12 on street legal rubber or drag slicks? What power are you getting with the 2535?

My car wont be ready for a few weeks still :P. With my new combo i am capping the power at about 260rwkw, i have been told that it should make about 280rwkw, but i have a std bottom end and would like to keep it in one piece for a little while :lol:.

I ran 12.55 on my normal street Sumituno's. Now ive got much stickier rubber (Toyo Ra1's which are street legal) and with a bit more power, i reckon i could go close. My 60's before where 2.0/2.1, if i can bring that down to 1.8, thats 0.2 a difference, generally you can double it over the whole 1/4, say 0.4. And more power, it will go close

:P That's a top effort!

Well remind me to line up behind you, as i am hopeless at drag racing :(, but occationally like to have a punt. I much prefer track work, as my car has been set up for that :).

robos , i d love to hear how you go with those toyos. im in the middle of trying to work out which way to go with tyres - run drag radials or semi slick tyres. i wouldnt mind coming down on friday . how much stickier is the drag strip compared with the street? would i crack a 12 on 245/40 dunlop lemans with 277rwkws??? probably be wasteing my time hey?

Well i dont know how good those Lemans are, but for example, on the street my sumitunos would spin every time in second gear when hitting boost. First gear is useless. But on the track i could actually get traction in first gear under full throttle. With the amount of rubber that goes on the surface during the drags, traction is heaps better than the street. If your not too abrupt with the clutch and power on take off, you might be surprised with the power you can get down. I was consistantly doing 2.0/2.1 with my street setup which i run the stiff Tein suspension.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
