Thanks...

nah on very bald and old set of nittos....but when i heat them up with a decent burnout they are super grippy...

the 1.911 launch i completely changed my technique....increased it from 3500 to 5500-6000rpm....tried the two stage clutch and it felt soooo much quicker....

i used to hit it pretty hard and thats why i could only launch at 3500 cause any more would just bag up off the line....

tried the new technique and didnt even get it perfect and smashed my 60ft time....

My car makes a bit over 200kw....maybe a lil more cause i increased boost a little bit.

dont know if the car gear is a waste of time....if its already at its optimum it will be $300+ wasted...

but practice is whats helping me the best....been just 2 weeks in a row and keeps getting quicker...

an update on my first 1/4 experience. think I was the only R34 there.

"consistent" disastrous 60ft time!

1, 4000rpm launch wheel spun all the way through first gear and most of second.

2.5 60ft, ET 14.3 @ 108mph

2, 2500rpm launch (had a chat with Ben and was suggested to try with lower revs) bogged down big time

2.6 60ft ET 14.1 @ 109mph

3, best of the night 6000rpm launch, clutch back in as soon as I felt spin and then out (dont know what exactly happend happend all too quickly)

2.6 60ft ET 13.7 @ 111mph

had to go to the city afterwards so only had 3 runs, but highly doubt i would have improved on the time had i stayed. conclusion was that it was an exciting first drag experience and I have no idea how to launch this car! :D

now can anyone explain the 2rismo 2 staged launch techique (I would pay you to learn it :D )

Forged: was your car the Silver r34 gtt?

2.5-2.6 60ft is SHOCKING,

How much power does the dyno say your car makes? 111mph is quite high

What brand/size rubber you running on the rear?

Did you try lowering the tyre pressure for the rear tyres and attempt to do a decent burnout to heat em up?

Usually for someone with those 60fts, what you should of tried is just a normal take off (as you would do on the street) and i reckon you would of gotten better times, then trying to launch it at this rev or that rev because the tyres weren't up to the task. It happened with one of the guys in an r33 gtst he was trying this and that and his BEST run of the night was when he just drive it off the line as per normal as if he was on the street :D

yeah the silver one was mine. i saw a few white 33s there but didnt get the chance to talk. which car were you in?

it makes a bit over 250kw on the dyno so i was expecting much better times. obviously something wrong with my technique.

tyres are bridgestone s03n 255/17 at the rear. i lowered them to 24psi but did not do any burnouts been told they(burnouts) are ineffective with street tyres.

ive tried a normal take off which was my second run, launched with 2500rpm (as what Ben told me to try) it bogged down intially then as soon as it hits 4000-4500rpm (full boost) wheel spin began again until second gear :D

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
