1/4 Mile Technique

[EKNR33]

wicked type-r:

Try this:
-Have Half full or 1/4 tank of petrol(petrol is heavy) [weight reduction]
-Remove your spare tyre/tools/jack [weight reduction]
-Make sure you do a nice burnout to warm up the rubber [traction]
-Try lowering your tyre pressure throughout the night start at 30psi then drop it to 25psi don't go any lower then 20psi [traction]
-PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE (makes perfect)

When funds permit invest in some decent rubber, (toyo t1r's for street rubber) or get some semi slicks/drag radials.

I have 224rwkw in my r33gts(rwd) running 225/50r16 wide toyo t1r's and i manage 2.0 60ft's that riding the clutch not dumping I DON"T hAVE TRACTION issues even with my power and no lsd.

Monitor your 60ft's for each 0.1 sec you shave off your 60ft you reduce your ET by 2x that so 0.2sec.

For Example in your case:
2.36 60ft @ 94mph 14.87ET
get a better 60ft:
2.20 60ft @ 94mph 14.55(estimated)
even better 60ft:
2.00 60ft @ 94mph 14.15(est)

You MPH(trap speed) shouldn't alter that much if you don't have any additional power, R/T(reaction time) doesn't affect your ET 1/4 mile times.

good luck!

well said champ

[fatboyz39]

just keep practicing! you'll get ur 14.2

[bigjo5]

well maybe locate got 14.2 cause his car is a eg and is lighter?

[locote]

EG5 lighter than a DC2R????
last time i weigh it it was like 1080kg

well heres an example, i ran 13.92 @ 101mph on a hot day at willowbank wit a 2.103 60ft and on a cold night i ran a 13.73 @ 103mph wit a 2.05 60ft but i slid second gear, so it is possible that the temps and stuff could be affecting your times, however my car is turbo so that could be the difference (s13 ca18det mines chip sr20 turbo 13psi stock side mount cooler and thats it )

[fishman]

what you said doesn't look like it was affected by the temps. it was all your 60ft time. What on earth is slid 2nd gear? If you miss shifted times would have been much worse

[51REK]

Slid second gear i.e grabbed second gear and almost slid into the other lane, my car is set up for drift not drag lol. nah the temps allowed me to hold boost up top alot better hence the extra 2mph!

what happen to your factory LSD? Most std modern rwd have factory LSDs...

[EKNR33]

Factory so called LSD in r33 is a 'viscous LSD' is far inferior to the type-r (proper) LSD... i do single wheel burn outs and you can visually see one wheel spin differently at wakefield lol.

i guess still good enough to run a 12.9 1/4 mile with 225 toyo t1r's

[silver_screen]

Viscous lsds are actually very very good. if urs is single spinning then the gel in ur diff musta leaked out ... ur diffs ****ed

Before drifting became big here, i was on the track. this is going back 5-6 yrs now.. with a viscous lsd.. standard 180sx diff... i never ever single spun.. EVER and that was makin 211rwkw

Most cars are viscous btw

[51REK]

My car has a nismo 2 way diff, and my tire pressures were at 35 psi, also my car weighs alot less then a r33...... thats why it slid......
