<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.

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
