Yup, i love people with no experience with other tires chime in threads like those. T1rs are great and will be on my car every time i get street tires. Glad u like them.

 

really?... what TBS was it and where do you see it tested?...

 

I'm still braking in the pads... but the whole thing feels solid! I guess I'll join your next canyon run

 

It's definitely not too narrow. A wider tire doesn't mean a faster 0-60 or 1/4 mile. Wider tire is more for handling and getting better traction. A 285/45 tire would actually increase the 0-60, 1/4 mile time. It would only help if you're running more power to the wheels and can't get traction.

infinitialex -

What kind of tires are you running? The type and condition of your tires do play a role in your 0-60, 1/4 mile times.

BTW a 6.3 0-60 isn't bad for a auto 03' G35 Sedan. Motortrend got a 6.51 0-60 with a 2003 Sedan. I'm assuming that is with a perfect launch.

It seems like your modifications are helping in your times. I think you are expecting a little too much of your sedan.

^^^wider rear tires helps a sh!tload with traction and decent launch... 215 in front sure... but 215 on rear is crap.

Since most of us need streetabilty its not advantageous to run staggered with 215 and 245 or wider (that would be a good drag setup though)

*Edit... I thought the response was to 215... just realized it was to 235... in any event 245 rear is a good balance for track and street on a sedan (for me)

 

Here is the thread...looks like you were pretty active in it as well.

I still see no dyno sheets. They said it is effective below 2500rpms...which is nearly what i launch my car at - at the track. So if this is true considering when you race you are always above 2500 rpms then it does no good.

I started an entire thread and was very active... yahoos like you that haven’t done an ounce of testing made me fed up with the whole thing.... there are plenty of dynos and I mention it the debate thread... several of you are too lazy to research even when I said where they are...

This thread isn’t going to turn into another debate - but its very clear that you are giving a guy performance information that you have no direct experience with.

And "reading" on a forum is not direct experience...

When I fail to continue beating coups and sendans, MT and AT and fail to dyno in the high end of cars at dyno days... I'll consider what you have to say. But until then I think I'll trust what has been done and what I continue to do to have a successful performance sedan. And that include the TBS.

 

I launch off idle (roughly 600-700rmp) and am quite certain I'd have no problem lining up against you in a 1/4 mile.

You may want to reconsider or think through the advise you are giving. Becasue its not as accurate as you think and are trying to make me/us believe.

 

Mike i think ur are the only person that is having success launching off of idle. I don't think there is a car out there that would result as much success such as sub 2.2 60ft time by launching off of idle. Ur car must be making massive tq below 1500 rpm.

 

couldnt be something like TBS

Some tricks work Of course its a sum of all things...

If I didnt have decent off idle - I dont think I'd beat you... you're always pulling on my @ss by mid track! And you usually trap higher (too bad we cant somehow combine both into one car)

 

sry to hear bout the mods not working but it def could be the exhaust...the factory exhaust is setup a certain way for backpressure and such...opening with a good exhaust gains you horse because they custom make the pipes to gain...a cheap ebay or knockoff exhaust is just a bunch of random pipes that they thro together that would fit on a certain car...actually most are interchangable for different cars...it could also be the exhaust is to small...you actually went for a cheaper exhaust so the pipes are a smaller diameter..if the opposite a bigger exhaust w/o major changes could be to big and your losing your torque....well what torque the g's have in the first place and that would def slow down your et's an such....secondly ive only heard wonderful things about the motordyne spacers so it might have a leak just turn the car on and feel around the gasket you should hear a leak if you have one tho this mod will only gain you at most 5 hp at the rear wheels so you might not even realize it

 

^^^ speaking of motordyne... OP, if you do get a different exhaust (which is a good idea) - wait for Motordynes new exhaust... the R&D is what the manufacturer would think through.... not just a fart can…

 

haha ok pal. Enough with the 5th grade name calling. Anyways, your thread with all your "research" wouldn't open that is why i posted that last thread. Get your old thread working and i will be more than willing to read it. Like you, i was going to read through 11 pages of people arguing.

What was your 60ft time. I was pulling 2.0 last time i was at the track on 19's and 30PSI.

-Sean

 

what track?

Thats like saying you dyno'd 290 hp and 280 trq... and then asked what my dyno number are...

Its highly doubtful that you have the abysmal track conditions that we have... everything in FL is practically sea level... so in decent weather sub 2 would be excepted.

 

I have no idea what you just said...your saying that my track conditions aren't nearly as good as yours and you find it impossible for me to put down that 60ft time?
