Hey glenn, how come your left/right side indicators in differant spots on the car? Series 1 quarter and the other a series 2?

SIR_TRX · « **Reply #32 on:** Jul 25, 2004, 07:25PM »

HOLY FUCKIN SHIT MAN!

i have never noticed that in all the time ive had the car. i was wondering what the hell you were talking about till i had a closer look at the car.

oh crap i cant beleive u spotted that. damn thats gonna bug the shit out of me now i know!

must of been in a acident by the previous owner.

NOT HAPPY JAN

Lol! sorry dude!

What year is the car?

trxmad · « **Reply #34 on:** Jul 25, 2004, 10:34PM »

that is pretty fuckin funny that you have never noticed

pintara det · « **Reply #35 on:** Jul 25, 2004, 11:59PM »

You reckon you will fix your blinkers before you put it in the salon, or its not really a priorety? not a simple job though!

Budgie · « **Reply #36 on:** Jul 26, 2004, 12:05AM »

Just a point glenn... imo thats the only thing wrong with your car

... the indicators, so your doing pretty well mate!

I don't know, he could allways give his bonnet the same paint job as mine.

LoW GLi · « **Reply #38 on:** Jul 26, 2004, 10:28AM »

OI GLENN! i almost did the same thing, when i crashed my car i was gonna get a new front quarter panel, and my mates dad that is a panel beater noticed and tolled me!! lol good stuff on the 12.1 runs!! uve inspired me to make my car a better performing vehicle, thou it wont get as good as urs!! karma 4 u

SIR_TRX · « **Reply #39 on:** Jul 26, 2004, 12:23PM »

geez mate i still cant believe that!! funny shit man

u know im now gonna have to fix that up before salon if they have enough time to do it. i cant have something stupidly wrong with the car like that.

after all the times ive washed it and played with the indicators ive never noticed it and budge sees it in the pics of it..... i must be the dumbest man ever

what do you guys reckon looks better the top or bottom position? and which one is series 1 or 2?

i think if i get the lower one put up and filling the hole, i might be able to get away with just painting to the crease in the metal from the bottom so i dont have to get the whole fender resprayed again. shouldnt be too expensive.

and its a 91 model budge..... no hard feelings dude, u have saved me a lot of embarrassment i bet

noss · « **Reply #40 on:** Jul 26, 2004, 12:26PM »

all the pintaras built before october 91 are series one, all the pintaras built during and after october 91 are series 2.

personally i think series 2 indicator location looks better, but i think what you need to consider is what will be cheaper and easier because the first thing i thought when budge bought it up was how expensive it would be to either get a whole new panel and respray it or weld up everything and cut a new hole and then respray etc to have the indicators match.

Budgie · « **Reply #41 on:** Jul 26, 2004, 01:00PM »

Yep, I think if you can take the lower one (series-1) and move it up to the same spot as the series-2 side that would look the best.

No worries mate, you can always trust me to pickup the pedatic stuff... lol

EDIT:Â i was just looking on the sau quarter mile time list and realised that your car would be the 10th fastest car (out of 41) if it was on there, pretty impressive
http://skylines.pnc.com.au/drags.html

Lets not get too carried away...40 of the 41 times on that list are with STREET tyres, big difference to slicks! And that particular list is ONLY people who have submitted an electronic scan of their timeslip...
btw, SIR_TRX, AWESOME time

noss · « **Reply #43 on:** Jul 26, 2004, 03:15PM »

slicks or not i dont think it really matters, i know you cant compare running on slicks to street tyres, but at least he's getting out there and doing the times.

whats your quarter time dale?

noss · « **Reply #44 on:** Jul 26, 2004, 03:54PM »

just looking at the car thats running slicks on skylines australia, this is what he is running:

Ride:
R32 gtst
Engine type and displacement:
RB26DETT
Induction:
Turbo
Major modifications:
RB20 out RB26 in
Tranny type:
Manual
Tires:
Drag Radials
Race weight:
unsure
Power:
280kw

and he got half a second quicker than sir_trx. so i dunno.. not bagging the guy, its a fantastic effort and a real quick car, but to me a 12.1 in a fwd 4 cylinder is more impressive than an 11.6 in a rwd 6 cylinder monster.

89tipintara · « **Reply #45 on:** Jul 26, 2004, 04:08PM »

I am with you there noss, glen's time is ver impressive, considering the foundation he worked from. No doubt the skyline is a better building block, but glen has done really well. It also comes down to money though, he may not have spent alot on his skyline....meeh I dunno

noss · « **Reply #46 on:** Jul 26, 2004, 04:12PM »

yeh thats very true.. i dont doubt that there are big differences in money spent from the skyline to glenn's pintara

nah not being hostile, i was just asking out of curiosity. i've only ever seen your dyno sheets which is why i was interested in your quarter times, i actually didnt know you'd run the skyline down the quarter.

and i was also just saying that its good that sir_trx gets out there and has a go and flies the nissan flag where as a lot of people cant or dont. just as a general comment. not hostile at all.

noss · « **Reply #49 on:** Jul 26, 2004, 05:13PM »

btw where is the bagging of the skylines?

SIR_TRX · « **Reply #50 on:** Jul 27, 2004, 08:51AM »

hey nismo i dont think anyone was bagging the skyline. i have the upmost respect for the car and its potential.

but u cant really compare a fwd to a rwd car even when im running slicks. its just a whole different ball game. so when i time is posted from a fwd that gives many modded skylines with same to more power a scare, its very impressive. thats what everyone is goin on about i think.

i know i was running slicks but u gotta understand that a skyline running the same power to me on slicks wouldnt make too much of a difference in time to a fwd on slicks. hence the rwd advantage and why not many of the skylines on the website have run slicks for that matter. if i ran streets i would of got mid 13's

and i reckon if i played with my suspension and get smaller slicks, im pretty sure it would hit somewhere around 11.7-11.8 with the same power. so i got more potential aswell

peace

Nismo · « **Reply #51 on:** Jul 27, 2004, 11:06AM »

I used to own a TRX myself and would have loved to do the "sr20det" engine swap or even turbocharge the old ka24, heck i was bloddy close to putting the ka24de head on mine [from aussie u13 b-bird] anyway...

While I am the owner, my current car won't be going anywhere near 11 second 1/4's - I dont have the money for those sort of upgrades [wife+mortgage = broke

]

A lot of people underestimate the TRX / Pintara - to their own embarrassment

noss · « **Reply #52 on:** Jul 27, 2004, 11:37AM »

the post i edited was in reference to a particular r31 pintara driver who's only mods are iridium spark plugs and he reckons just that got his 0-100km times down from 9.8 seconds to 7.2 seconds.

Sounds like you may be underestimating the difference a tyre can make...on rwd?

HPI recorded a massive difference between 3 different tyres running 1/4 mile and circuit times in their r34 project car...none were slicks although the best were Nittos which are still classed as street tyres!

SIR_TRX · « **Reply #54 on:** Jul 27, 2004, 08:51PM »

i know that it would make a difference on a rwd car with heaps of power. i was refering to a rwd with 200kw compared to a fwd with 200kw and their differences in times.

Milford · « **Reply #55 on:** Jul 27, 2004, 09:12PM »

can someone explain to me why a rwd is better in drag races? i dont get it

Kranzy · « **Reply #56 on:** Jul 27, 2004, 09:15PM »

This is just my opinion...

Its a lot easier to push something than to pull it. Therefore it is a lot easier for a rwd compared to a fwd.

Cant be bothered going into details but thats one thing i learnt in physics

SIR_TRX · « **Reply #57 on:** Jul 27, 2004, 09:22PM »

when a car dumps it off the line all the weight distributes to the back. so therefore when a rwd car accelerates there is a lot of weight on the back wheels so it has way better traction on launch. the fwd launch will take all the weight off the front wheels and make a loss in traction.

Xnissman · « **Reply #58 on:** Jul 27, 2004, 09:44PM »

yep, got that right

Jtas · « **Reply #59 on:** Jul 28, 2004, 07:37PM »

i just thought i better clear this up,

i wasnt bagging out skylines or anything of the sort by posting a comparison between SIR_TRX's car and SAU cars. I was only stating how impressive it is for his car to be "up there with the best of 'em"
