How'd you get that time anyhow? What mods you got? Wanna hook me up with all your mods and where your an at?

I recently ran at Fontana and fastest was a 15.038 and trap speed was 93.64 mph. I have K&N filter w/ 2.5" custom crush bent exhaust. Car sitting on 16" Enkei RSE BFG T/A 205/55/16 all around with 20 psi in the rear tires; intrax springs w/ kyb gr2 struts and greddy front strut bar. Stock 7 psi with open differential. Spare tire and emergency jack was taken out. Other than that full interior. Oh yes and I do have a slipping clutch and exhaust leak hehe

what tires are you running, truthfully did you do a ****ty job dragging?Maybe your transmission is falling apart.Maybe your transmission is just easting power.

I would get your car dynoed if I were you

u mean 1800rpm right?

Post by **lessthanjakejohn** » Tue May 13, 2003 1:46 pm

1800 seems a little low, did you not have a chance to try anything higher?

Post by **Silvia2b** » Tue May 13, 2003 1:46 pm

whoops, man I don't know but 1800rpm, seems to me like that is only like idle w/ AC + maybe 650 gas,I'm no pro dirver but I'd stall my car trying a launch like that.

Post by **JDM** » Tue May 13, 2003 1:46 pm

Stall Converter is at 1800 RPM's for the stock auto transmission. Any higher and he could seriously damage it. With all those mods I'd definatly think youd be hitting at least mid-low 16's...

Post by **Dano** » Tue May 13, 2003 1:46 pm

thats wat i told him, i thought the stall convertor was 1800...

-Dan

Post by **drnovascotia** » Tue May 13, 2003 1:46 pm

I'd love to get my car dynoed, however lack all the $$ it takes to do that.

yeah, 1800 rpms is what I launched at. It seemed like it wouldn't let me revi t higher than that.

I'm looking into a manual swap, thats abnout all I can think of that will help without lots of money put in

You should be doing better than that. You have aftermarket suspension too, you should be able to launch at least a little bit better than me. And I had everything in my car, spare, and even a toolbox. Do you have a frontmount? That might be the only thing. My tires are the same size too.

Message me on AIM or something, I couldn't go to Fontana, my master cylinder went out. I'll go next time though if you're going.

Post by **S13240** » Tue May 13, 2003 1:46 pm

I don't have a fmic...I'm using the stock smic with stock bypass valve. But yeah I know I could have done better than that..

Last nite was my first time taking my 1993 Nissan 240SX liftback to Milan Dragway in Michigan. My first time was 16.72 at 79mph and my best of the next three came in at 15.93 at 86mph. I was pretty happy with this time and mph. BTW my car is bone stock with not a single mod only an oil change and deletion of spare and jack and 50% tread tire wear.

Post by **ColumbusDrift** » Tue May 13, 2003 1:46 pm

BTW, does anyone know the horsepower/ quarter-mile/top speed mathmatical conversion to find the horsepower for your car. My friend said there was a way to find this out. Maybe he and I are nuts. Any help would help.
