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.

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.

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 :)

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.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
