exodus_68 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Nice work. Little bit nerve racking lining up the first time? I did my first run on a drag strip last night. PB was a 13.845 @ 103.44mph. Had a few traction problems along the way. Just couldn't get the launch right. Best reaction time was a 0.045 which I was very happy with Might let the rear tyres down a bit next time round and see if I can get some more traction.

danielson Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 i find it better to just roll off the line, and push the clutch in and dump the throttle, and smash the clutch... it seems more effective... need a big burnout and under inflated tyres tho, works gud Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/113153-ran-my-r33-gtst-calder-on-friday-night/#findComment-2092338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlonde Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Cool, good to see you had a good time. Hint for beginner: not good to say your clutch was slipping.

Roy Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Mate congrats...yuor first time out and you are doing quicker 60ft times then me and i had semi slicks on ...and whats wrong with sayign the clutch was slipping if it was? Drag racers are a funny bunch...heaven forbid they post the whole story, not liek the ppl running 11s in a std car that only cost them $1500 to build, its just that their driving makes the difference (Not directed at anyone in particular, but drag racers seem to ride each other pretty hard ) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/113153-ran-my-r33-gtst-calder-on-friday-night/#findComment-2095445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVYMTL Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 exactly what wrong with saying it was slipping if it really was, im not using it as an excuse for running a slow time, i was extremly impressed with my times considering my clutch is stuffed. what times are other people running with similar mods to mine?

ross80 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 No im impressed man. And im not easily impressed. Look !!! A blue car!!!!! hahahahah Nah, sounds on the money to me. Id imagine that is quite quick considering the mods. Ive never had mine down a strip, but i would of guessed youd run a 14 flat with mods so good on ya.

Ruffels Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 thats really good dude i ran only 14.2 at calder a couple of months back! with 3" catback, front mount, pod, running 10psi with gfb bleed vavle on 18's aswell and an Xtreme button clutch so thats really good.. allthough i seemed to get a better top speed then you as i pulled a 14.2 @ 101mph ... i dont know why if you got a better time.. i think my launches were really lacking? what sort of launch teqniques were you trying.. i tried everything from dump to slow ride outs Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/113153-ran-my-r33-gtst-calder-on-friday-night/#findComment-2095605 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think im running quite good times considering my mods. How do you know your clutch is slipping? When a clutch slips you can tell. Revs go up, speed stays the same.... im starting to get very bad clutch slip, in third gear it slips from the time it gets onto boost till it hits redline. Spewing. Gotta change THAT now too!
