vn down the quarter

[holdnlvr]

i draged my vn 400m(completly stock only got a lsd), and i ran a time of 16.3
im pretty happy with that for a stocker at least. ive got an 2.5 exaust and extractors and maby a new air intake comming on soon. hoping to get mid 15z.
wat do use think?

16.3 is a fair effort with just them 2 modifications, CAI wont cut .3 off your time.

Maybe a higher octane of fuel if you havent alredy.. And you should hit the highest 15 possible.

They ran 15.7 for S1 or 15.5 S2 stock according to the stats... But that was new. How many k's does yours have on the clock? Sounds an effort if its only got an LSD and considering age

 

[holdnlvr]

its got 150,000 on the clock and is auto. there was a vs or vr not sure that was doing 17.4(stocker), so if my car can beat his and his is a couple years newer im happy

You should be able to get it down to 15.6-15.7 with a CAI and fixing anything that's not right (plugs, leads, fuel filter, fixing the throttle body etc etc) and shifting at the right revs for the job. I wouldn't even blink if you told me a well setup CAI took .3 off. You will need a richer fuel mixture when you get the exhaust on

After my 0-100 time i would only expect a 16

What type of manual shifting should be done?

 

[s0sage]

wouldnt mind running a few of these vn's out here ... :thumbsup:
i need a confidence boost lol

yeah that time is near enough to whats expected holdnlvr .. i remember when i picked up my old vn (on a g-tech so add that for unreliability) i squirted a 400m 15.7 with only fresh oil, plugs, 98ron fuel and all my windows wound up

5spd and i know how to drive it so i reckon with a bit of practice with your auto, do a full complete service on your car and theres no reason yours wont touch high 15's

whered you get your time out of curiousity?

 

[holdnlvr]

i did it at Heathcote, didnt want to go calder because its a lil embrassing taking a stocker there with the big crwods, fast cars and all.

LOL...I know the feeling, I've wanted to run a 1/4 in my VN, but don't feel like rocking up to Calder Park only to run a 16 and be happy with that, when all the other cars are running 10-14.

Might have to go to Heathcote one weekend.

what condition is the transfluid like, if it's old change it for a firmer shift, maybe try taking off with it locked in 2nd to prevent it upshifting to 3rd early. also, what tyres you running, if your on 17" try changing to 15" tyres and drop the pressure a few psi for better traction.
