I still have mine too Cant bring myself to part with it!! That said, I'm looking for an FD now so who knows!

Bloody hell! There's a blast from the past! The original grumpy old man from the gtir-oc! I don't think you'll remember me as it's been a while since I've been on there, but I go way back to the days of nad, sirnixalot and even dax. I was Charlie boy, then charlie. Anyway, nice to see you still have...

13.8 is my best time but i have to be honest and say that I dont enjoy 1/4 miles ... all that waiting around for 5 gear changes. You get into 6th?!! :o You must have some REALLY low gearing!! I have tp do all that waiting for just 2 gearchanges! Mine also has a 6 speed box but didn't even make 4th ...

Thanks, that'll be where I got muddled

So are the s14 and n14 turbos the same trim? Just different turbine housing?

my mistake.... I'm sure there's some other significant difference then :oops:

Fitting the smaller .64 turbine housing will reduce spool time, but only by a couple of hundred rpm. I'm surprised about this. I would have thought going from .86 to .64 would have made more of a reduction in lag than that. For some reason, I'm pretty sure s14 units had roller bearings as standard ...

[quote="stuartstaples"]Not bad for a factory car, so relax and enjoy the car for the things that it does well (which clearly isn't drag race :lol: ]

:-D

I'd better stick to using it for tarting around on sunny days in then.

Best I do as eddy says and get my pulsar back on the road 8)

I'm home now, so just to fill those of you in who could perhaps analyse my results any better.... My full times/speeds for the best run were as follows: Reaction --- + .9888 :oops: 60 ft -------- 2.3752 330 ft ------ 6.2642 1/8 ET ----- 9.4202 1/8 MPH --- 77.99 1000' ET --- 12.0230 1/4 ET ----- 14.3...

Well that's made me a little happier, thanks for your comments. :grin: I guess I just felt a little slow in comparison to some of the other cars and would have liked to of got into the 13's. There was a real fast FD3S there, green wheels and a nice chap to talk to as well. I think the fastest I saw ...
