Just took my GTR out for abit of dragging fun 2night. Was pretty impressed at getting a 13.1 @ 106 mph for a basically stock 32 gtr with just a cat back exhaust and exedy button clutch. The factory spec is 13 flat out of factory right ?

Also something i found weird was i was just red lining 3rd gear as i crossed the finish line. That compared to my supra ( i was redlining 4th gear as i crossed the finish), just wasn't used to it. I guess that is becoz of diff gear ratio's ?

My 60' time of 1.943 is abit high right ?

Any tips on how i can lower that abit ?

Other than that i was pretty happy with it. The AWD sure is great for launches (even with street tires) compared to a rwd with street tyres aswell.

Any comments or advice is very welcome :ninja:

nice work, wat sort of mph were you doing in the supra and wat time

umm if i remember right it was 13.00 @ 111 mph

So it had a 12 in it but standard clutch and shitty street tyres restricted launches alot.

GTR should be able to manage a 12.9 easily.

Keep trying!

how should it be able to manage a 12.9 easily when they are 13 flat from factory? and i have very minimal mods. Also consider it is 16 odd years old so it wouldnt be running the factory times now days. :ninja: but ye u are right i should keep trying because practice makes perfect right :)

did u lower ur tyre pressure. and the 1.9 60 footer is a little high i think when mines a 2.0 and its a gtst

yeh i did let them down to about 20 psi in the rear. But i wasnt gettin much traction loss at all really. Yeh i have to perfect the launch and i reckon i could get the time down abit.

i have found

dont go below 20psi on street tyres (good for slicks) but with street tyres below 20psi you start to lose the bonus of letting them down (something to do with the fact they are steel belted) the best pressure is 22-25psi (depending on day)

also if you have aftermarket clutch you should be launching at about 6k for best launch (handbrake on let out clutch till just enguaging then just drop and release handbrake) , with a 4.5k launch you will be dropping of boost for short period (destroys your ET) i stuffed a launch once revs dropped to 2500 and did a 13.6

also with your trap speed of 106mph you should be running mid-high 12's

i have done a 12.7, with 60ft = 1.8 trap speed = 105mph

mods were turbo back zorst, pod filters (no shield) , 11psi boost, tune (car prob made 205rwkw) and full pressure tyres (36psi)

but it is simple as Practice makes Perfect ... play with revs on launch, dont wait till limiter to change gear (i change at 7200-7500) should be changing just after your peak power/torque

and most of all ... have fun ... but thats not hard when you own a skyline

hope that helps

Cheers

for launches in a GTRRRRR you need to launch em at about 6000RPM + then u will be amazed... ;)

But u gatta be carefull with ur diff and all that... my mate did a 12.1 in his 32gtr and he was dumping it at 7000rpm, and on stainless steel tyres.. :D and he broke his gearbox 2 days after... his gtr has a full exhaust and cusco soil overs...

Yep 5500+ I've found to be best with a gentle release of the clutch, got to try with a Jim's clutch soon.

Stainless steel tyres? They'd be a pain to keep clean and a solid ride :-)

When i went to Heathcote, my best time of the day on my stock GTR (R33) was when i changed gears earlier, i crossed the line in 4th gear. I shifted at about or just under 7K and got a 13.2 @ 106. I had a 1.9 60ft aswell, the track seemed really slick compared to the street and she was just spinning all fours, ended up launching at about 4800-5000rpm. On the street it does need 6K plus or else it will bog down (twin plate takes up all the slack instantly).

i found i got to much wheelspin doin limiter launches (strip not quite a grippy as road)

about 5800-6k is the best spot to launch mine i found (on Potenza GIII's and OS Giken twin plate clutch)

with that little bit less wheelspin she hooked up bit quicker

did limiter launch ran 12.88 did a 6k launch got 12.76

and i change gears earlier cause you can feel when she goes past her peak torque (mine approx 7500) and thats when i change

When my 32 GTR had 228rwKW it ran a 12.4 @ 181kmh. (112mph)

I'd be changing to 4th before the end of the qtr.

I'm not interested in destoying my car to shave a few tenths so stage my car at around 5500rpm, and feed the clutch out quickly, results in consistent 1.9 60fts

I went from a 340rwHP 2WD RB30ET Skyline previous and I must say launching a GTR is 110% easier and more consistant :P

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
