as the title suggests i would like some advice on what revs is best to cut a sub 2 second 60 footer. im running gt3040 600hp turbo making 346rwkws on dyno dynamics i willpost dyno sheet. if im making full boost by 4500rpm and i have a good clutch, 245/45x17 nitto extreme drag radials. what is the best tyre pressure to get good traction ie: a good 60 footer as well as what revs so i dont bog the car down e.t.c.also wheres is the best revs to shift for maximum acceleration. anyone in the know would be greatly appreciated. its hard to practise at calder my local track seing how it takes 4 hours to get 5 or 6 runs and by the time you queue for the nxt run youve forgotten what you did the last time you ran,as to try and improve . obviously its illegal to practise on the street ,so i figure if i can go away from these forums with some insight i might have a good chance of nailing a good pass in the limited ammount of runs that one gets at a busy drag strip like calder park. cheers carl.post-6176-1168507421.jpg

Each car is different in its setup.

Your really just going to have to give it a shot, and practice will sort it out for you with regards to the launches.

Tyre pressure, im not sure there.

Gears... I'd be changing as close to your peak power as you can.

If you feel it "drops" a bit on a gear change, just take it a few 100 RPM further the next time till it feels like you shift and it goes back into a meaty area.

Thats how i used to drag mine and it seemed to work ok when i ran a 12.1 even if it was all over the place at the time.

Although, if you get to calder as soon as it opens, and dont muck around, you'll eaily get 10+ runs on a night.

I used to get there early, and you can do back-to-back runs virtually for the first hour and a half before the main rush beings :)

There will be more useful info for sure, that'll just get it started

Good luck with it, you should be hitting 125mph without much of an issue

You need to balance the clutch and throttle. Use at least 4000-5000rpm and lift the clutch and as you do, use more throttle. Dont dump the clutch at high revs as this causes wheelspin. Do it progessively and you feel the tyres bight and then your away. If you are finding that you are getting alot of grip, try it quicker and use more revs until you find out your traction limits. Best i got was 1.88 60', anymore revs and it would break into wheelspin.

Good luck, 125mph should be possible, but will require a perfect run

thanks for the tips robos, i reckon 12.18 from a hks 2535 is pretty darn good! 1.88 sec 60 ft not bad either. i was flicking through the for sale classifieds the other day and iam quite sure that i saw your ad to sell that turbo. what turbo set up are you looking at running next?

Picked up a GT3071R for a decent price so i thought i would try it. Finally its all on now but having some lack of boost problems so im trying to iron it out.

If you run a decent 60', you should have a 11 in the bag. Just dont get carried away on the take off as thats where it all counts for a good 1/4.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
