Damage To Gearbox

[JaiJai]

Ive just bought a stock as a rock R33 GTS-t and was wanting to take it to the drags. Whens the best time to shift never having done it at in a racing environment?

do i push it all the way to the red at 7, go past it to 8, and when going up gears do i keep my foot on the gas or take it off as i change?

Cheers guys

if you have the stock exhaust then there's not much point taking it past about 6-6500 as it just chokes past there and you'll have a slower time. i had stock exhaust when i got my car and it was really hard to hit the limiter as once it got past 6000 the acceleration slows down. rev limiter cuts in at about 7200rpm. snap changing (not lifting off the throttle) will reduce lag between gears, but increases the chance of wheelspin and clutch slipping.

if you get to do mulitple runs then try different things eash time. getting off the line will make just as much difference as anything else.

Stock as a rock R33 you won't get past 6,800rpm.. that's the revlimiter from factory I believe.. also stick it on a dyno, find where you generate peak power and work from there..

not quite sure why this was called Damage to Gearbox..

I think what he is trying to ask is, if it's safe to flat change. I suppose with a stock R-33 there's nothing to break so it's safe.

Just when your running around 300rwkw and you flat change it something will break keeping in mind the clutch will slip first.

hmmm... personally I think take it easy on it, don't flat cahnge, your running a stock car.. just take it relatively easy and see how you go before you start flat changing & max revs.. unless you got a spare $2,000 lying around..
