7-11 @ Willowbank 21/06

[J-Boy]

Hi, i was out at willowbank tonight for 7-11, met some other skyliners as well. I got in 5 runs fer the night and i got there at ard 730pm and left ard 1045pm, could have been more runs if i didnt go out to get more air in my tyres. It was a good night out and i finally got my ass into the 11's. LoL, i still suck big time on launching, someone give me some lessons on launching manz. who else was out there tonight? Anyone had pics? I was in the white GTR32 with the GT wing.

Best run was actually my first, did a 11.79 @ 119mph, got a run in later with 12.08 @ 124mph, so obviously i suck at launching. But being on 18" wheels, i'm still pretty satisfied with the results. Prolly with more practice, i could do my car justice by clocking low 11s. LoL~

from memory launching in my old AWD GTiR and GTR was .. 5000rpm and riding the clutch out power more and smoke ur mirrors... i miss them cars..

my mate told me a story from his mate when he used to work on the GTRs in bathurst.. one team sent a memo to nismo/nissan in japan saying they cant get the thing to get off the line.. just kept bogging down.. and nissan replied litterally, give it some stick u women 7500rpm and dump it..

lol story was something along the lines of that..

11s congrats..

Thanx markimak~ LoL well yeah i tried dumping it at 7000++, but i will just end up with my rpm dropping down to like 3000 and end up losing lotsa time when i throw my clutch. Just didnt seem to be able to get a good launch, i dunno if it's my 2way lsd. I think riding the clutch out and not dumping it seems to be better. Ideally with 17s n a better launch low 11s should be achievable. But oh well just wanted to go out n get a few runs in and have some fun. I'm not too serious abt drag~ And sheesh it sure is getting cold already these days~

Not bad time good stuff, what point where you shifting at you werent shifting too early were you, as for the mph it should be alot higher id have to say for the power you have :S go figure there time to get yaself some smaller rims and/or stickier tyres and practice practice practice oh and for the 2 way lsd, That helps never hinders on times Overall have to say good stuff

Hey Jyo,

I saw you on the drive back in your car, I was in the Maroon gtr with stockers etc. and my bro behind me in the black r33 gtst. Was a good night, hard to get traction to begin.

Did you see that Blue R33 gtr? had mad big horsepower but he had heaps bigger probs gettin it off the line- total wheel spin! Nice sound and gr8 burnouts though.

Best we could get out of the R33 was 13.2 pretty stock though so happy with that, and best outa my gtr was 12.6 which is also very stock except for pods and exhaust

good fun, all the best

[markimak]

yeah not saying the massive8k dump is the way to go but.. that was the story i heard from my mate.. and coincidentally he ran a 12.6 in his near stock N1 GTR

if ur keen ill give launching a try in ur GTR.. i use to get my old GTR off the line easially.. my friends wer amazed with pulling like 3-4 carlengths on ther silvias.. haha ther faces was priceless.. 5000rpm and ride it out to 6000rpm and boom... bye bye... was using 225 17s and they spun up a lil.. and with the 245 it was noticably quicker..

the G force u feel with a decent launch..

[markimak]

also a 2way lsd should help u get ur power down.. the standard GTR 2way should be fine..

[J-Boy]

Yeah it should be faster, i need to work on my launch n shifting i guess~

Thanx Devil~

madr32: yeah i saw u guys on the way back! Well fer me the launch is my biggest obstacle somehow. But overall was a good night, am satisfied with the times 2nd time out at willowbank~
