Guest sir_GTR

Thnx Matt :D

umm to be honest I haven't really stretched my car beyond 3rd gear yet :confused:

all my runs with other cars have been from standing starts and i usually ease my pedal well after 2nd gear (around 120k+/hr) ...never really hit 3rd gear (too afraid of speeding fines)

So i dont really know how fast i can get to with my 3rd before changing to 4th...Will i get to 4th gear with the 1/4 mile run?

sorry for so many *newbie* questions :bonk:

Andy,

Adelaide International Raceway is straight up Port Wakefield Rd heading out of town, you can't miss it on the left hand side.

It's ~$50 to run all up, for as many runs as you can fit in.

Yep you need an ADR approved helmet, & you must wear long pants/long sleeved shirt.

180km/h is ~111.85mph, which is a good enough terminal speed (TS) to run into the 12's with decent traction.

You probably won't hit the limiter before the finish line but you "may" before your terminal speed is read.

TS is an average of the last 30' of track before the line & 30' past the line (I think?) so your elapsed time (ET) won't be effected but if your going quick enough you "may" hit the limiter after the line in that 30' during the TS reading. Hope that made sense :D

On my last run (Nov01) I ran 13.1 @ 109.5, & from memory I backed off just after the line doing well over 180km/h, I probably would've got a higher TS if I'd kept my boot into it a touch longer :(

My car when stock (or close too) hit the limiter @ ~190+km/h so I think you'll be fine :)

WTF? How did my post end up after yours Andy? Oh well never mind:)

Fire away with the questions mate I'm happy to help if possible :)

Yeah you'll need 4th just before the line, unless the 8k rev range of the RB26DETT can get you over the line in 3rd? It might be worth asking the GT-R guys who drag race their GT-R.

All,

Something to keep in mind for drag strip first timers. The AIR drag strip is totally different to launch on compared to the average set of lights! You'll need more rev's off the line @ AIR or you "will" bog down badly :mad: It's a huge shock to feel how quickly your car takes off (or feels like it is) on a grippy VHT prepped surface :mad: Big rev' launches also put more strain on the drive train due to the lack of wheel spin that a road surface would normally reduce!

Hey Guys,after going to the drags sunday i was thinking that we should go to the next meet where hopefully Johns R33 GTR will be there to crack the 9`s.We can be like the support racing to the main event.We can go out and have some fun aswell as support John to hopefully a record run.

We`ll have the best tuners in Adelaide(TILBROOKS) out there so we can nag em(only joking Martin).

LETS GET AS MANY SKYLINES OUT THERE AS POSSIBLE.

I have atleast 3 CAMS/ADR approved helmets that i can loan.

all i want to know is when is the next meet?

Matt

I'd be up for that. I think that from memory that the street meets are on the first weekend of every month. It would be cool to get a dozen or so Skylines out there. Now I just have to get my clutch sorted.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
