You got std springs in, or shorter ones?

Nic - 130mph shows it has some serious power! Just struggling to get it down.
Have you tried any runs taking it a bit easier off the line (terminals seem to be higer).
There are some mathmatics you can bodge if you know the cars weight/TV etc to get its power  I'll dig them out.
How low psi did you put the fronts? And how high the rears?

This is true, just every time i put the thread up about my mot day, people are saying oh, you have to use spacers with spax, but that isnt going to stop me having mad camber on one side, so im just seeing what else he was running to see if i am doing much different, the top mounts may help a bit, dont know how much adjustment i would get off them though.
Found these too

hp = (mph / 215.39)3.3135 x weight (lbs)
so....
(130 / 215.39)3.3135 x 1873 - (850kg)
= 352hp (wheels)
Using your ET wont give such acurate figures due to the traction...
hp = weight (lbs) / (ET / 7.3571)3.8850
gives 271hp

i might need to look into things like that i think also. need to heat wrap the down pipe again as i didnt have chance to re-do it this time. heat soak was killing me today.

Nic - using that formula I expect the Skyline to run a high 11 and about 123mph.
11.8 is says (but thats not giving anything away for poor launches etc)

aye
im unsure on them formulas. it would have to take into account total car weight including driver surely. as thats all part of what gets the terminal speed in the first place. someone 20kg's lighter you'd imagine would make the car go quicker in theory.
