as title says, how do you launch your skyline?

EDIT: THIS "RACE" WAS HELD OFF PUBLIC ROADS (noted for those people with turbo cars that run 13 seconds or quicker that have never raced or speed in there life)

I just raced a "305kw claimed" xr8, i had him all the way up to 140kpm then at 180kpm he was one car length ahead.

on the first run i didnt launch as good, had him till 100kpm, then same at 180kpm he was one car length ahead.

My car, stock standard r33 s2, with hks cat back, hks pod, 10psi, standard rims with 235's.

my question is, could i have done better with a better launch? and what might of happened if i had 255's on 17 * 8.5 " rims (there sittin in my room waiting for me to get some decent tyres on them)

And how did i launch? only revd about 2k then droped the clutch and almost full throttle till the wheel spin slowed down. then full throttle till read line every gear except 5th

first of all, if the xr8 had that much power it would of smoked u off the line an maybe most of the way.

an the launching side this is wat i do leave it in 2nd an rev to bout 6000- 6500 an let go of the clutch, straight after u drop the clutch plant it. the revs drop a little but it seems to work beta fo me then launchng out of 1st.

yeah 300 kw does seem to high for what the race was. but thats what the guy kept saying. said he spent so much on mods at some place "heretez" or something he keep talking. but even if it was stock (which it wasnt, seem some of the mods myself, under the hood) there about 260kw i think

launching in second gear, ive heard of doing this but most cars out there launch in first, so im guessing gettin a better launch in first is better then getting a good launch in 2nd???

I dont race, and only personally amuse my self at work. 3.5k with brake and accel, left foot up and push hard on right and as long as you have good tyres and clutch, you should float along. trick is not too spin the tyres for more than 1 second. Its like a handbrake hill start. you jsut have to get the feel.

oh for f**ks sakes, what is with you people....this is the second moron a row telling us about his drag racing story......

Just to vent some anger, NO ONE CARES WHO U RACED!!!!!!!! STOP POSTING THIS USELESS CRAP HERE.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
