Just got this PM:


Fooking hell, thats awesome going that is, under 4 to 60!


That car is almost totally standard!!!



Well done Mark, but dont keep it to PM cause im sure loads of people will be well impressed with that mate


Runs 12s up the quarter too

 

Thats pretty good


Lets just hope the starter motor doesnt need changing anytime soon

 

Yup, pulsars can do that, proper quick off the mark.

Dannys (fiestacossie on here) brother Ben used to do consistant 12.6s with just a filter, zorst, and 1bar boost.

 

pulsars are nuts off the line - my own ran less than a bar and managed 12s all day. Best was 12.28 @ 112.

Mods were bleed valve and exhaust and no back seats lol! Was running on dark horse tyres too! Completely tanned an escos up the 1/4 and it was running a harvey 400 engine lol

 

Pulsars are lord!

they are the launchers of destiny

should have kept mine

 

Maybe this will inspire Jamz to get his back on the road...

 

Steve's right. 8 x 12.8's @ 104-6 mph, on std everything, except 1 bar, zorst and filter.

and since run 3 x 12.3@109mph at 1.2bar.

 

You fooker, i was keeping it to pm cos my ugly mug is in the pic

Heres the video of the 0-60 run Left click the link

I'm sure i could do better cos the timing is still set for 95 ron unleaded, and i put all the interior back in a couple weeks before this was done

Oh well, its still pretty nippy i suppose

 

Lovely weather for it

 

take it the drivetrains are bloody strong then!

 

rofl

 

Stronger than a 4x4 cossie.

a pulser can run std transmission at 600 bhp, as long as its not launched hard.

 

I would stop at 60 after the run to save the gearbox blowing up, are fucking shite, bloke next door had one years ago, and IIRC he went through about 4 gearboxes

 

Awesome little cars if albit a tad ugly

 

At least the ground wasn't wet.

 

My mate has a pulsar, (the Datsun as i like to call it )
it runs just about 1 bar of boost, and its definitly rapid off the line
for the boost she runs!

 

So in other words if you're gonna buy one you - do the exhaust, filter, 1BAR & then instead of uprating the engine anymore you spend the money on a decent gearbox & driveshafts???? yes??

 

12 sec car easy, 140+mph impossible Great 1/4 mile runners, anything else forget it

 

Have you been smoking crack?

Not launched hard?

You mean never on boost EVER?


Marks on his third gearbox now IIRC and Creedy off here has just bought his third one for his pulsar too

 

You're having a laugh, everything in the transmission is ok...............exept the gearbox, they're crap

I broke 3 boxes on standard boost, anyone with 600 bhp and a standard box that expects it to last more than a week is not all there

 

Is the gearing not set up for 140+? probably why they are so rapid under 100mph

 

thats pretty damn impressive!

 

are you being serious

the selector forks seem to be go before anything else granted but the gearset is just too thin as stock.


My tranny was fine all day long but i never rushed the gear changes TBH

 

Chocolate, bang boom

 

To be honest at 1 bar you dont really need an uprated box

400 bhp (as long as its set up correctly) on the standard internals is not unusual now, and the driveshafts never break either

But the thing is now people with a lot of power and uprated boxes are starting to find that instead of the gears breaking the gearbox casing splits when you launch it, its just the next thing along the line

See, crap gearboxes

 

standard gearing is set up for around 170...............but its pig ulgly looks wont let it get anywhere near that unless running some serious power......


The dakar models were geared for areound 120 IIRC with shorter ratios.


BTW 0-120 they have PLENTY of bang for buck and would leave my stage 3 sierra in the weeds with only "300" brake up to 120.


once rolling say from 40mph the cossie would obvioulsy be quicker.

fancy that, a car designed for rallying being quicker to the ton and a car designed as a toruing car being quicker once rolling

 

Yeah, theres a few 500-600 bhp pulsers runnin std box, all running very low 11's.

I'm not sayin they are strong, but tryin to say you wont get a true 450bhp cossie, that would not break the gearbox on a full out launch

 

Thing is, that's all you want aint it. I rarely touch anything past 130mph, even if i've got the power. Only when the mood takes me, but i'd much rather have acceleration than top end.

All i wouldask for though is that it cruises at 100 and doesn't make my ears bleed

 

i never mentioned anything about a cossie 4x4 box i know they're shite as well and no stronger than a pulsar box (i only meant to quote the bit about the 600 brake on a stock pulsar box)

 

Yeah but most of them keep blowing them or have changed them for a quaife before they blow

 

Yeah but they get a few months out of each box.

 

Ive always been impressed by the times these pulsar's can achieve, but have always been put off by the looks.

If you had say a 300bhp pulsar, fiesta turbo, and escort turbo (for comparisons sake) and they was all rolling at 40mph and then went for it, would there be much in it you think?

I think the pulsar gets such good times on the 1/4 because it is wicked at launching.

 

Fook me thats quick for a near standard car

 

Is that the gearbox breaking you can hear at the end of the clip ?



impressive car though

 

1ruined the right hand lane of performance vauxhall show at the end, spat the contents of the box 1ft past the line

 

Used to do a bit of late night drag racing a few years ago on a bypassed bit of dual carriageway. Everyone would grown when this chap with a pulsar turned up because we new the winner was a for gone conclusion. I think he was running 300 bhp and that thing just used to fly off the line!

 

my escort has done 6

 

so what do these pulsars do on the 1/4 as standard. i have an old magazine when they tested the esc cos v intergrale v pulsar and it got cained to 60 mph in standard trim! they are 225bhp standard am i right?

what makes them launch so well?

i always heard they have choco boxes????

carl

 

that wouldnt be this article where the Datsun cained everything to 60 and a 100 would it



yep 225 standard give or take a couple of brake

I think the wheel base helps them launch quite well and the fact the tranny is not as big as the cossie 4x4 etc.

And the boxes are not the cars best point you cant launch them everywhere every day of the week!

 

I Agree not to take anything away from your mate chip I'm just not a fan
