hey guys,

i took my skyline upto calder park for the first time on friday night

i ran a 13.9@100mph, my list of mods is turbotech boost controller (set to 10psi), apexi pod filter, apexi safc (not tuned at all everythng set to 0), and a 3" cat back exhaust

im suffering from a slightly slipping clutch but i was very impressed with the times my slowest being a 14.2, all the rest were flat 14's about 3 passes at 13.9

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.

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

Nice work mate

i was planning on having a crack the other week but the lil ol Rb20 went pop b4 i got a chance :P

So now im back to square one and not 100% sure if i want to build a forged 20 or a hybrid 25 with my turbo and running gear instead!!!!

Mate congrats...yuor first time out and you are doing quicker 60ft times then me and i had semi slicks on :bunny:

...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 ) :D:):)

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?

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.

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? :bunny:

what sort of launch teqniques were you trying.. i tried everything from dump to slow ride outs

Hey guys

I went out the other week and ran a 13.624 @ 102.975 mph with a 60ft of 2.098

I have a pod, a 3 inch turbo back exhaust and a turbosmart bleed valve.

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!

Excellent result mate - very well done!

I agree.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
