So say i race you, let you go first and i wait and get myself comfortable and 5-10seconds after you leave i take off and run my time you get your time blahblah and i still get my 12.5 it doesn't affect it.

Man, if you're still there after 10 seconds I'm gonna leave the grandstand and push you down the track!

last night update...

it was farking freezing....after a massive burnout i reeled off a 15.6 cause i had absolutely no traction in 1st, 2nd, and the first time no traction in 3rd...scared the shit out of me....

2nd run pulled off a tidy 13.149 just beating my old pb, sub 2 60ft at 104mph

3rd decided to try a short shift 3rd so it came on boost in 4th before i crossed the line....ran a 13.244 but at 107.5mph, got an extra 3.5mph but didnt help my time....

4th was a blinder through 1st & 2nd....left parts of third on the track as i crunched hardcore.....

5th was best of the night....ray told me what 2rismo told him regarding 2 stage launch technique.....tried it and did my best 60ft of 1.911. Almost 12's

60ft 1.911

E/T 13.081

MPH 104.25

Disappointing night for me.. hence why i didn't call/sms you 2rismo :ninja:

Track was cold and slippery i felt like a hovercraft when i was in 3rd/4th gear going down the track, i REALLY need to learn to do burnouts.. Benm warned me to smoke em up i ATTEMPTED too but as soon as i tried the car went sideways and my tyres were still cold :ninja: <so hard to make the car stay still for burnouts - Moanie you gotta give me some BURNOUT lessons>

Still managed a 12.913@114mph with a crappy 2.05x 60ft though

VESPA: i Saw your car in the car park when i arrived and went into my staging lane, then you disappeared what happened did you something give way?

Congrads on the New Pb Brendan i reckon a few more runs with 2rismo's launch technique<which i haven't perfected> and your in the 12's mate

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
