Maybe an ongoing thread for what happened to you and how you went last Wedneday night at WSID.

Let's kick it off with our R33GTST.

Usual mods, early stages, 10 psi, standard turbo, R32GTR FMIC, Magic Cat, 3.25" Kakimoto cat back, PFC with BKC, road tune only (no idea how many RWKW) using Tech Edge A/F ratio meter, Group Buy suspension kit, minimum rear camber. New MT radial street tyres fitted (another Group Buy in action). Set at 15 psi on advice from BU5TER (thank you).

Run 1 SOSK did a small wheelspin warm up, "burn out" would be a gross overstatement.

Gentle on the clutch, we have no idea what is in there. Gearbox has zero synchro on 4th and 5th, so granny shift required from 3rd to 4th

Result

60' = 2.461

ET = 14.434

TS = 99.00 mph

Checked the A/F ratios from the first run, everything looks OK

Run 2 SOSK did a slightly larger wheelspin warm up, "burn out" would still be a gross overstatement.

Little harder on the clutch, Still insufficient rpm used on launch, slight bog. Clutch failure on the 3rd to 4th gearchange, roll over the line in neutral.

Result

60' = 2.099

ET = 13.780

TS = 96.53 mph

No more runs and I got to drive it home clutchless, good training for when I get a dog box in the R32GTST. New clutch on the way and we get to fix the gearbox synchros at the same time.

Lessons learnt try for a real burn out next time and never trust an unknown clutch.

:( cheers :(

good work gary. good to see you are getting matt stuck in. now just coach him to give it some hammering for a nice burnout and a more agressive launch.

We were very concerned about the unknown clutch. So he was more gentle than he will be next time with one that we know and trust.

:( cheers :(

First pass - no gas - 21psi - 1.79 60' - 11.79 @ 121mph

Second Pass - no gas 21psi - 1.92 60' - 11.99 @ 121mph

Third Pass - 75hp gas/18psi/-4 deg - 1.82 60' - 11.66 @ 123mph

Fourth Pass - 75hp gas/21psi/-4 deg - 1.80 60' - clutch slipped in 2nd and start of third - aborted 12.77.

I managed only 14.01 @ 100.58 Rev probably only at 2.5k rpm and anymore than that would be wheels spins.

Can someone with similar mods teach me how to launch!!

R33 gtst 3" zorst, FMIC, bleed valve @ 11 psi, stock turbo, SAFC, bigger fuel pump, 18 inch rim with 265 rear tyres at about 35 psi.

I've seen alot ppl with similar mods did mid 13 quite consistantly but i still cant crack 13 :P

Get some 16's or light weight 17's and put some good rubber on them. Those 18's would be slowing your times down alot i would imagine.

Drop your tyre pressure using street tyres I dropped the tyre pressure from 25psi down to 16psi and picked up 3 tenths going from 13.6 to 13.3

Why do you bother trying to change gears into 3rd? 2nd will give you more than sufficient wheel speed to heat they tyres quickly without the extra load. If you want to do burnouts in 3rd, just start there.

Adrian

i think he meant shifting to 3rd down the quarter after having done a second gear burnout. implying a cosimic link between 2nd gear burnouts, and missing 3rd gear on track.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
