Stoped at a set of lights last night with the missus in the car and a half tank of gas. 1 car infront and an R32 infront of that.

Green light we all pull away as per normal. Just after lights theres a slip way to houses so the car between turns off. Right clear road no other cars and I see the R32 is waiting for me. Its on.

I boost up in 3rd next to him slightly pass him and back off, Door to door now, He guns it, I gun it. We are even for 2 sec I start to pull. Faster and faster he starts to drop back, he changes to 4th, bam instant 1car gap then I change to 4th, bam 2 car gap now. We pull for a few more sec up to about 190kph or 200kph (118mph - 124mph), It was off the clock so not sure. Around there some where.

We button off and I need to turn off so I tuck in behind him and He turns off to. Turned out he just lives down the road from me.

We had a little chat on the side of the road. Great guy, he saw me and said he was saposed to turn off where the car between us did but he kept going hopeing for a race. What a great guy. He gave mean props to the 7 as his bro used to own 1.

Anyway he was runing stock single turbo on 12psi with full exhaust system, intake and FMIC. I was runing 10psi GT35R and all support mods.

Great race, big ups to the R32 for keeping a 2 car gap in 4th gear. Great race due to his car beeing the light weight model. Fun fun.

Just to share power difference, he runs a 14 sec ET with that setup, I run a 13sec on 10psi with full wheel spin to 8500rpm in 1st, sideways in 2nd and only get traction in 3rd & 4th with a trap of 116mph.

First kill in Single setup, still use stock 7 & 9 plugs for everyday traffic driving work and back stuff. On the DYNO we had 11s in doing 16psi put down 470RWHP on 98RON pump gass 70% duty cycle.

Nice!!

Sounds almost identical to my run in with an R32 GTS-t not too long ago.

nice kill, but you shifted to 4th twice.

two shifts, one belonging to the Skyline read it again =)

ICE_Pilot

^ thanks for answering that Fendamonky. LOL

ICE_Pilot

Props to you too bro. I read your race. Good kill.

The Skylines are fast little buggers aye.

efranklin

Do you know how much power your making at 10psi?

ICE_Pilot

Well if you do the math with the trap speed i get it comes out to 336RWHP

Weight 2755lb or 1250kg with me and a full tank.
ET 13.03
Trap 116mph


Here is the link to the equation
http://www.dsm.org/tools/calchp.htm

I did 4 runs down the strip.
13.05 all traped at 116mph
13.4
13.3
13.03

ICE_Pilot

If I had ET streets I could do low 12s on 10psi
16psi Low 11s or high 10s

efranklin

I dunno if its because my brain is fried from lastnight, or your times seem REALLY bad for the kind of power your making.. 280rwhp should get you into the 12s

ICE_Pilot

on 10psi with Good year eagle F1 255 rears from a slow roll in 1st gear if you plant it the wheels light up instlantly, keep it floored you move forward quickly but spin fast to 8500rpm, hook 2nd it dose the same thing unitll you get 3rd then it grips. On 16psi I never floored 1st and 2nd from low speed. But if you start a pull in 3rd at 2500rpm it hits 16psi at 3800rpm then pulls hard till 6000rpm where it breaks loose and spins the wheels to 8500rpm then I back off cos its moving to fast and to scary to change to 4th cos I dont want to spin and go sidways at that speed. Need better tires.

ICE_Pilot

Dont forget I am wasting 2 gears wheel spining buddy.

ICE_Pilot

the 13.4 and 13.3 were slow launch trying not to spin but it dosent work. I Found that if i just spun it up through 1st and 2nd it went faster.

The 13.03 was full sideways drifting down the strip in 2nd gear. Unitll 3rd where it came straight and got traction.

efranklin

I didnt mean it in a mean way I was just saying.. but I know what its like to have shitty tires, im at 336rwhp and I get alot of tire spin.

need RX7

I thought GTRs were twin stock?
anyways, nice kill. I wish we had GTRs in the US

matty

i find alot of what u have written hard to beleive. first off the weight.....no way your car weighs 2755 with full tank of gas and you in it. u must have it stripped down race car. do u weight 5 lbs? i dont see many 2500lb fds around. most of the guys that weigh in at 2750 is with low gas and no driver.

and two...a gt35r makign 336 rwhp at 10psi is pretty high i think, also making 470 rwhp on 16 psi is high.

net net i think you're a story teller.

also u should know that wheel spin can inflate your trap speed. so "drifting" down the 1/4 strip may give u a trap that is misleading.

ICE_Pilot

Ok then, I have an FD that is the Type RB-S, No rear window wipers. I have taken out the back seats that was 10kg worth. I dont have that heavy fiberglass bar in the front cos it dosent fit and I may have miss calculated the weight.

I have tein flex coilovers in and had the car professionaly set up for track and re-corner balanced back to 50/50 split. It weighed in a 1165kg with a 1/4 tank gas.
I weigh 75kg. So thats 1240kg so far. Say fuel is about a 1kg per liter, so my car takes 76L but we have 1/4 of that already. So 1165kg - 19kg for 1/4 fuel is 1146kg.

Now Car is 1146kg + Me 75kg + fuel 76Kg = 1297kg= 2860Lb

If you dont belive that well thats not my problem.

Hey I will show you my DYNO graph if you dont belive the car makes 470RWHP
My turbo is a GT35/40 0.70 AR compressor and 1.06AR turbine on a very large extended port and doweld motor with 3mm seals. 550CC prim and 1680CC 2ndry.

An no wheel spin will not make the trap speed higher cos I only spin to the end of 2nd, 3rd and 4th still have to pull the car to the line and they pull it over at 116mph. There is no way wheel spin will make a higher trap speed. You are loosing traction and not moving forward. Also the drag stip dose not read your speedo it has its own calc. I will post my slips to prove to you that even my 13.3 was over 100mph with no wheel spin at all.

**** why bother with people on this thing, **** i can see why some people get pisssed of on here with no belivers. I will just have to take a fricken cam corder next time.

ICE_Pilot

I think only the R33 GTR's were TT. Not sure. He said it was a single T.

SouthSideSlider

actually all the Sklyine GT-Rs from the R32 up are twin turbo stock.they all run the RB26DETT the TT stands for twin turbo the only difference between the R32 R33 and R34 RB26DETT motors is how the engine is managed. he porbably swaped from twins to single turbine.

ICE_Pilot

What exterior difference is there between an R32 GTS-T and R32 GTR?

matty

dude u are idiot. enough said. i am not gonna get into it with you. a number of your comments are wrong....just so u know.

I AM NOT CALLLING BS on you beating a slow car dude. i am calling bs on your weight that u quoted (which u did bs on) and your power level. come on.

talk to some people that have some drag racign experience. spinning the tires like mad does inflate your trap.


WAIT A MIN WAIT A MIN. i just reread your post.....are u 13yrsold? talking about "Also the drag stip dose not read your speedo it has its own calc.". dude are u for real?

ICE_Pilot

Hey fair enough, I know what I have I know what it dose and I dont realy care what you think.

I might not understand the workings of a drag strip, dont realy see how it can read off your cars speedo if all its doing is working out how long it takes you to get to the end and traps your speed when you pass the line with something electronic like a beam or what ever they use.

I know that if you spin your wheels standing still the speedo shows your speed even if you dont move. So I dont see how getting traction for 3/4 of the strip and actualy accelerating to the speed I am traping can give a false reading.

If you care to explain go ahead. Also if it will make you feel better I will go to a truck stop and weigh my car for you with me and full tank to prove how light it is to you. Dont forget I dont have an america version FD, I own an X Jap model. I dont have all the emission crap on my car like you do. Its got full trim but no rear seats and some fucken light weight wheels.

rotary8

just a word of advice rotary engines dont like heat so i woud change those 7 to 9 spark plugs if you want the engine to last longer.

ICE_Pilot

the motor only runs between 10 and 12psi in traffic on 7 and 9 plugs. I also have water injection. My car never goes over 88deg C water temp or over 30C air temp in traffic.

I will be putting 11s in shortly and lean it out so they dont foul up in traffic like they did before.

ICE_Pilot

I can see Im going to have to take alot of video footage to prove stuff on this forum. Will film the weigh in, the next dyno run and all my drag runs plus track runs.
