Quickest 4k In Australia

[Taz_Rx]

hey guys,

 

just though I'd ask the question - who's taken there 4K not 5k to the strip before and what have you run??

 

I did a 16.4 @ 130kmh on the weekend, was pretty happy with that, beat a VTiR integra, a VN commonwhore and flogged a ae92 with a 4a-fe. Then busted an axle on my last pass doing a skid. :laff:

 

please try to refrane from saying "I haven't actually been down a drag strip, but I reckon it'll do low 14's" cause if you have never done a proper timed run on a strip you may be quite surprised just how slow you car is!!! :laff:

 

so lets here some times??................ :laff:

:laff: no offence nick, but mine ran a 17.6 with the ONLY MOD being a the 32/32 weber!!!! not even a set of extractor, let alone a cam that big!!!

 

was it wheel spinning much?? cause I've got a welding in mine and can launch it with absolutely no wheel spin!

[-Miller-]

would of like to seen my 4k down the strip. recon it woulda done ok for a 4k

[Medicine_Man]

From memory when I G-Teched my yellow KE70 it was doing mid 19s..

[Killswitch]

Anyone cracked a 15 in a KE70 body? Using a 4K or 5K(sorry! I know you didn't want them for the times!) I'm curious... :laff:

 

From them things on the net... a 130hp engine in a tonne car (inc driver) should crack a 15.9...!

 

Real world is a fark load different though.

 

Anyway, I suggest a list of runs be compiled. Pity I don't have anything to add... give me a month or two.

[Taz_Rx]

no body else got some times!!??

[JiP]

Can't say that i've tested mine for times. But i've tested to see how fast it'll go on the highway.

same here. i know i'm not gonna get very good times so if i'm gonna waste my money i'll enter a motorkana or something and have some sliding fun at the same time :y:

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

So what youre saying is your car is slow, but you would prefer to sit here and pretend its fast :D

[Stackas]

unfortunatly the government closed our dragway and wont give us a new one yet. So you have to test your car on the road instead. Know my Ke70 with stock engine was able to get to the end of the speedo. have no idea about the times though.

yep its slow.. no dout about that i mean what can you really expect from a 1300cc turbo???

at what point did i say it was fast??? its fast enough for a daily driver and bit of fun on the track but $80 to go in a straight line 4or 5times just an't justifiable if i'm gonna do that i'll take one of my other cars down the strip. :y:

[Taz_Rx]

$80!!!!!

 

I went to a "test and tune" on the weekend, runs from 12:00 til 4:30 with about 30 cars. could have done about 10 passes if I wanted!!!

 

cost - $35 driver entry for public liability insurance etc, and $10 for a ANDRA (Aus National Drag Racing Assoc.) day licence!!

 

I was crossing the line at 130kmh, that was gunna cost me more than $45 to do on the open road!! :y:
