<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.

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
