Best Way To Launch Auto R33 Gts-t

[Modena]

Drag strip related.

Is it with power button on, over drive off and plenty of "pedal to the metal?" Also once you go past 40 KM/h turn the over drive on.

Is that it?

past 40? im pretty sure its past 80 u put o/d on... before that it wont really do anything as far as i know. and if its on the drag strip. you dont really need o/d on neways.

and usually power button on gives a better launch.

Thats interesting with OD on... with it off the engine revs harder and uses the engine to brake. In the manual it says that OD on gives you a burst of speed... however if u trun that OD off going past 40 km/h it slows the car down... maybe better for accelerating but as far as cruising, definately on.

o/d on in 1-2 bogs it down...

feels like the snow button is on. which also bogs it down like a bitch.

On? Off? On? Off?

...O/D off is when the lil light on the dash lights up yer?

At our last Skyline/WRX drag day

I found it better with power button off..

Put it in second touch ya brake build ya rev up on green boot it flat..

Then around 400m in to drive..

[WazR32GTSt]

leave o/d on... why?

because if you're on the throttle in first/second then its not going to be engaged anyway.. and when you finish the quarter you want to be able to drop into 4th to cruise back to the pits...

i also leave power off, as it comes on automatically anyway!

Brake boost it from 1st or 2nd (if you have a bigger about of bhp)

on R32's od on or off doesn't change a thing.. ( accept shifting to 4th once your done the 1/4 mile)

[GTRgeoff]

On my auto power is limited if the od is off or the shifter is in 1 or 2.

Stick it in D and left foot brake, bring up revs with right foot until it is at the point of moving. Lights change, left foot off brake while right foot goes to floor. Often with auto slightly feathering the throttle at about 3/4 will bring the best power.

f**k yeah i love my auto!

The moment when the turbo spools up you have a freaking storm unleashed... back wheels blazing and the engine sound is amazing... Just need to get exhaust done some time in the future and set her free!

[Traditimeour]

so what actually does the power button do???

[GTRgeoff]

It simply forces the shift point to a higher rpm, but if you floor it without it switched to power it will light up and change shift points anyway.

Holds revs for longer... so in theory launching with power button on would make sense as it will act bit more like manual.

Auto is in for paint job, so will soon be on the market as with all my cars except the GTR. Wife wants V35 350GT with 8 speed paddle shift. Mmmmmm more auto coolness

[lukits01]

I've had my fastest run with the O/D off, POWER button on

left foot brake hard, gear at D (manual shifting was slower)

load the throttle to the point of moving (the RPM really depends on brakes, tyres, suspension, power, etc etc)

let go of the brake at the lights
