I'm sure the tune not being complete wouldn't be helping at all. That's trapping low also.

Get tune and anti lag sorted then post the timimg slip! I'm sure you will be happier then :)

Hmm that trap speed is WAY down, I was running higher than that with much lower numbers on a hub dyno - I was expecting at least 10mph more!

Good luck sussing it out, hope it's nothing to major causing the lag etc :wacko:

bogging down... launch harder.. 5000+ maybe up the tyre pressure so you try and free spin and then work your tyre pressure down from there.... no need really to use antilag/ launch control free revving is fine, but if your computer has it it will assist. dont side step the cluctch either, rid it a bit aswell, this will help with your launch and also your bogging down issue :)

Missed this thread so posting a bit late.

Check your flywheel and clutch cover assembly weight, heavy is good for hard launches with sticky rubber on GTR's.

The mass assists reducing bog downs, stored energy for when you let the clutch out.

Lighter assemblies tend to head towards bogdowns.

Slicks without using anti-lag/2-step/launch control on a slightly modified turbo car is pointless ESP on a RWD or 4WD car. Your car makes no power out of boost (well slightly less than a non-turbo equivalent of your motor.) Car is not making enough power out of boost to even challenge slicks

Depends on the car and what you consider "slightly modified"

My 32 would be considered slightly modified with simple bolt ons and with Toyo TQ drag radials I got a bit carried away with launch rpm and spun all 4 and nearly ran over the Christmas tree :D

Lol that might be driver mod :rolleyes::yes: my Evo 8 with 550whp would spin all "THREE" too, not entirely sure what setups come on the GT'rs whether they have true lsd's F/R or just Rear LSD and a gripper or open lsd in front.

Slightly modded might be upgraded ECU / boost levels etc, bolt-on turbo upgrade, 3" Downpipage/3" TBE could be a multitude of other parts, but i consider that to be "slight modification"

Also to OP: Dead-hooking will and can snap axles/shear hubs/diffs I snapped my stage 3 B5 Audi S4 axles launching it off 2-step (12lbs .9bar) at the track

I have what you listed except turbos, still stock, yeah 3 wheels would be a better way of saying it, true machanical LSD rear with open front, heavy rear sway bar helps front traction in straight line so mine will spin all four if launched to hard :D

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Doug 98 R34 GTT · Posted

      New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

      Rear suspension upgrades

      Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.

      Series 1 r33 no turn over

      Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.

      Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?

      Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
