1/8 mile times

[GELLIS2586]

What have you guys ran in the 1/8th with intake exhaust and header. I ran a 10.3 with a bad clutch master cylinder with a .643 reaction time at like 69 mph is that good or bad.

[1dollar240]

When i first got my car (completely stock, bad tires, worn clutch and 190,000 on the odo) i ran 11.71 in the 1/8th.

I'm curious to see what it would run now with rebuilt motor, new clutch and new tires.

[Former_240_s14]

dont know about 1/8th mile, but my 60ft' times are a best low 2.3's. thats with no lsd too. At the last nico meet in BG, I had terrible a$$ traction, hell, I was running a 2.7/2.9 60ft times. Yes, all due to traction too!!!!.

[Nismo_Freak]

2.7 ... 2.9 ... dude... I have better 60's with absolutely no launch cause my clutch is gettin toasted.

I think my 1/8ths are around 10.3 @ 69 mph

Thats i/h/ex on a open diff S14

[GELLIS2586]

So my times are pretty acurate. I have an lsd but do you think that because my master cylinder is goin bad would cause my car to slow down. Its hard to launch my car cause if you try and dumo the clutch too fast itll stick for a second the rpms will jump and by the time it engages im at 4500 rpms and i just spin the tires. And shifting is a bi**h because i have to put the clutch all the way to the floor. Normally its real short because I have a centerforce dual friction clutch.

So would the bad master cylinder really hurt my times or am i still on par.

[mightgeta240]

Ellis your times will improve when you get your master cylinder replaced. I could tell on your launch that you weren't bringing the rpms up high enough and you were bogging off the line. I'm assuming you did this because of the clutch sticking like you said? Replace the master cylinder this week and we can go back to the track Friday.

[nissanrcer240]

11.6 , stock time, im going to the track tomorw now that i've had a little more experience driving the 240 so hopefuly i should put up some better numbers

[SRdS14]

When i had my ka24de like a year and a half ago..i ran a 10.3 with intake and exhaust. bone stock except for that. my sr20...with a bad turbo, i ran a 9.0.

Did a flat 9 in Damien but it was a 150 meter measured distance, I have no idea what that equates to in 200 meters 1/8 mile, 10 seconds?That was a $300.00 CA18DE-powered silvia baby, binbotunin in the hizouse!:D

[Onizuka]

you and your funny metric system...

lets see, 300 bucks for a old silvia, part it out, 600 bucks for the headlights, fenders, hood, and bumper. another 100 for all of the emblems and whatnot, like 250 bucks for a working ca18de + engine components, another 200 bucks for spare parts and everyting else......

10.02 at the BG meet

Keep your mitts offin Big Evil, don't let the cheap price fool you, this car is all business, not a beater.I was wiring up the new guages and the E-manage yesterday, whew, what a pain. The whole area above what would be the glove compartment is jammed with loops of wire and control boxes for Trust guages and Apex electronics, I have to finish the 300ZX brake conversion and pick up the $100.00 CA18DET my freind might score for me. Slap on the HKS turbo kit, GT-R intercooler, pull the gas tank and cut out the trunk floor to receive the 8 gallon fuel cell and set up the E-manage and Damien is ready to prowl again. This time it will actually be fast

[Onizuka]

omg, so you meen your actually going to concentrat your funds on one car?!?!?! I thought it would never happen!!! what about all your skylines and other peices of junk you got lying on your property?

[themadscientist]

Trying to sell the GTS4 but chumps are the order of the day so it's difficult. I might have a buyer for the Hachiroku but he doesn't inspire confidence, I'll beleive it when he drives away in it and the cash is in my pocket. That leaves the RX7 to prep, inspect and sell leaving the Silvia and ye ole Skyline. I'm selling parts here and there, I can actually see patches of floor! 2003 will be the year of housecleaning!

[Onizuka]

isnt the silvia your girl's car? what year/trim is your skyline your keeping? I need to know all of these things because I am writing a book about you, obviously

[themadscientist]

no the wife has the 89' 180SX, I have an 89' Silvia, both CA18s. Her's has cheaper road tax because it's two months younger than mine, B.S.!!!The GTS4 is a 90' and on the auction block, the keeper is an 85' two door Paul Newman version. Originally an L20ET, the new motor to be determined but seeing as how I have five L28 engines I think an L albeit a big nasty one will probably go in it.

[Onizuka]

can you send me some pics of the '85 skyline? ive never seen the supposedly really ugly skylines of the 80's

[Tino]

your writing a book about tms? wait you must be that famous japanese dancer/tuner I've heard about?

[Onizuka]

yeah! he one of the guys in this video of one of his performances:

[themadscientist]

mine used to look like this one;http://www.r30.co.jp/r30_used/img/57-75-m.jpgIt's um "distressed" right now though awaiting my attention.

[Onizuka]

thats not bad looking at all, L series engines??? ive never heard of 'em. they good powerplants? what kind of power are they capable of in mostly stock form?

[themadscientist]

back in the early eighties the L28 turbo in the 280ZX was laying down 180hp with a patheticaly small T3 turbo and no intercooler. Ls are rock solid powerplants that generate tons of tireshaking torque. We have one here with a T04R blowing through 44mm carbs that can lay down 10s at will. Full tilt NA 3.1 strokers with sidedraft carbs live in a nice housing development in the neighborhood of 300hp and they look real good in a Silvia but the hood don't close, yet(hint hint);)

[gtune4]

I just got a 9.439 in the 1/8th and 2.259 in 60ft. The Z28 camaro beat me by like 0.7. Then he said he could turn 8's if he had slicks. Then he said that he was "all motor." Then me and another sr driver (who beat him once) laughed. I pointed to the side of my car and said "Do you see this, it says g-tune FOUR!!!" Was it wrong to laugh?

[zion]

10.1 1/8th with a 2.3 60ft and a .550 reaction time. This all on a stock hatch with a blown clutch and with just a cone air filter. Just playing around till i get my sr done.

[Altiman94]

Aries, 1.65 60' is awesome. What is your launching technique. I found it best to just drop it at 5k. Our local track is prepped very very well. I was hitting 2.1's on the stock clutch/open diff with this technique.

[SeVa-S13]

His technique: Have a V8 and highly-rated torque converter on his auto. :pface
