<br />The Shirt man just needs to work on the launch\'s more. a year off the track and then back to it with a completly different setup will do this too you.<br />
<br /><br /><br />

It\'s more of the that fact that he needs to simplify what he needs to do to launch, so he doesn\'t have to call NASA every time he wants to take off. I believe he is working on getting the setup done for this now.

NASA? lol he only has one switch on the steering wheel. its not rocket science. Mark set it up to be as simple as possible. he needs to work on the clutch when taking off he was saying.

he was also talking about using the line locker to load up the transmission and drive train to help get off the line at the 2nd staging lights . So that\\\'s 2 buttons (ok one is being moved to work off the clutch pedal) plus having to worry about the tree at the same time while all this is going on. Pretty complicated if you ask me, only gets better with practice.

By the way, you need to change your signature now that you have run a 11.1. Well done on that

im going to run the line lock and anti-lag off the 1 button...simpler set-up

light the top light...press the brake...push the button...inch the car into stage dragging the front wheels in with the driveline loaded up...light the bottom light...floor the accel...slip the clutch...let it go on the 2nd yellow...hang on to it the best i can...avoid the walls and car in the other lane.

Due to the fact we were unable to get the power to the track it ran 10.00 @ 144

the 60' was a very slow 1.8...4/10's slower than my best...4/10's in the 60 is 8/10ths at the end of the track so it was a 9.20 car with that power.

its a really hard car to drive now...Dave (T04GTR) said he was surprised how difficult it actually was to get the car down the track. Racing a car of this calibre is not as easy as some may think, there is a very fine line between bogging the launch, blazing the tyres, keeping it off the walls and a clean quick pass. I tip my hat to guys who have ran sub 9.50's in a GTR on radials as its not childs play.

Being part of the Godzilla Motorsport team now means i have access to one of the best teams in the world at car set-up. Mark Jacobsen knows exactly what the car now needs to perform and we will be making some changes to the car, setting it up to launch in the same manner as his 7 second car. A lot of these set-up changes involve keeping the driveline loaded prior to launch and keeping the turbo on boost as the clutch locks up. Scott Kuhner from Insight Motorsports has also joined the team and his knowledge has also been well recieved.

Ive got 39 passes under my belt now so im getting more and more experience with how this stuff is done. To run sub 10's on my 24th pass was a massive achievement...to run sub 9's on twice as many passes would be incredible.

What's this going to do to driveline wear and tear?

hey Paul how have u got the line locker hooked up, is it holding on the front brakes or deactivating the back brakes? i am trying to sort one for my car i have the solenoid etc but the front brakes have 2 individual lines (one for each side) coming from the master and im trying to work out how others are doing it. I dont want to have to hold the brake pedal on i want it holding the fronts on for me, but wondering if Teeing both front lines into the solenoid and then dividing the lines after solenoid is gonna work without any problems.

What's this going to do to driveline wear and tear?

its better for the driveline as it eliminates shock loading the driveline...its murder on the clutch though.

Brad i run an ABS master cylinder which has only 1 feed to the front brake hydraulic circuit...you run this line to the locker solinoid and then tee the other side of the soliniod to each of the front brake calipers.

From the godzilla motorsport site:

Vi-Pec Tuned V88 Makes 807hp.

15-03-2009

Paul Diemer's "Twoogle" GT-R running a new T51R turbo setup and Vi-Pec V88 ECU was tuned by Godzilla Motorsport prior to the recent Compak Attack in Sydney and made an impressive 807hp at the wheels. This is one of the first Vi-Pec ECUs to be utilised on a high power drag setup and Mark was impressed with both the features and ease of use, comparing it to the Motec M600 ECU used on his own drag car.

The next step for Godzilla Motorsport: a Vi-Pec V88 on their own methanol breathing 7 second drag car.

807whp nice work paul. Wonder what that would be at the hubs? :P

The car is being looked at in regards to anti-lag set-up, clutch air gap (need more travel with the slave), tune is being tweaked for more power etc.

Hope to get it off the line more consistently and be competitive.

Will be track testing prior to event.

Ill keep you posted.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
