Rev,

Give us a buzz while you're in SA mate (if you're in Adelaide or near to?)

[rev210]

whatsisname,

I'm getting into adelaide on the 6th (sunday) and sunday night is free. PM me your contact details and we'll do some damage.

[whatsisname]

Will do mate.

Looks like I will be running my car again next wednesday at Eastern Creek (weather permitting) with the stockie 16"s this time. I will run them at about 15psi with no subs, spare etc in the boot this time. I am interested in seeing if it will make much of a difference.

Jeff.

Good stuff Jeff, i'll be there as always (as a spectator).

Give the horn a toot as you drive past :uh-huh:

Edit: You should team up with Buster (Brett) he had his first run last week and did a 13.3 i believe.

Jeff,

Try 19/20psi if the tyres are intended for 'street'. At 15psi you may find that the tyre gets damaged. This will occur more on wide tyres like 225's or larger on stock rims. Hopefully you have at least 225's because I can't reccomend 205's at all.

[Guest MFX_R33]

I do have 205's. I have 255's on my 18's but they are only 35 profile. I would like to let htem right down but I don't know how far I can on them. 16's would be better giving some sidewall flex, which will help me too.

Jeff.

[rev210]

I would save the 205's for a burnout comp, sidewall flex or not .

Your 255's let down to 19psi and treated to a nice smokey burnout will provide a much better option.

[rev210]

I know I did my passes on 205's and yes more sidewall is good (mine are 55 profile).

[Guest MFX_R33]

When I put on my 18"s I was surprised from the start that traction didn't really improve. I will take both sets of wheels down there and see which one works better.

Jeff.

[Guest MFX_R33]

Also, you were saying that your 205's didn't hook up that well, but look at your mph and ET compared to mine. You obviously hooked up better than I did.

Jeff.

[rev210]

I'd say you just need more practice launching. I have had lots of practice over the years (even though I've only gone to the drags wth the line' twice).

205's will handicap you quite alot, if I had your 255's I be in the 1.9 second 60ft. stick with them and practice I reckon, or get some 225's at least with a tallish profile.

[Guest MFX_R33]

Maybe, I will use my 18"s with the 255R35's, and just drop the pressure to around 20psi, and give it a good burn out (not that that will really help with street tyres).

Jeff.

[DCIEVE]

when are you takin it to the drags rev? i'll come down say hello if its in the next two weeks

[rev210]

like to go to the drags soon don't know if I'll get the time in the next two weeks tho'.

I'll post something when I'm going down for sure. Always good to catch up with the skyline people.

[Guest MFX_R33]

I went to Eastern Creek again last night. I decided to keep on the 18"s and lower the tyre pressure to 20psi. It hooked up heaps better this time and a pulled a 13.102 @ 108.46 mph with a 2.114 60ft :) .

I was stoked, as I was only hoping for about a 13.4. Looks like the 18"s were the better option.

Congratulation Jeff. That's a nice time and a good TS.

You never know, a little bit more practice and you might see a 12 sec pass :uh-huh: :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

Thats a great time Jeff.

I was there last night (as a spectator) to watch Brett (Buster) and Eric (xrsist) race. I seen your run (couldn't hear the time coz the next car was busy ripping a burnout) but it seemed like a steady smooth run. After that I walked over to behind the pits and seen your car (now i know where I have seen it before - on here), checked out the rims... couldn't see the driver anywhere so kept walking.

Buster and xrsist ended up missing out on there 2nd run coz some fuel tried to rip a burnout in a car that shouldnt even be pushed let alone started and dropped oil all over the place.

Next time I'll yell out to u as u hit drop the clutch

[rev210]

good to hear it Jeff!

[Guest MFX_R33]

You probably saw my second run. I did a 13.6 I believe. I don't know cause the timing bimbo's screwed up again and the machine muched my slip. My second run I got a really crap launch and spun all the way through 1st and 2nd.

After the second run I didn't think I had time for another run so I went to watch for a bit. Good thing I did with that massive oil down.

I think there is definitly room for a 12 second pass there but I think better tyres are in order, before i can pull that off.

Jeff.
