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

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

:bunny:

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..

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

Thanx Devil~ :blink:

madr32: yeah i saw u guys on the way back! :yes: 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~

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
