Man you guys have well prepped tracks, very jealous indeed,

Rob

Bring your car over and take advantage of it.

nice pic that Dave took with the front wheels off the deck on launch.

nice pic paul - TWOOGLE must have so much more potential considering that your suspension isnt even setup.

what did it end up making awkw? im sure its somewhere in this thread but reading thru almost 30pages seems painful

[R.I.P.S NZ]

Thanks Rob. Did a 1.38 the run before and blew the turbo outlet pipe off changing from 1st to 2nd...still ran 9.8

Mate it went 6.0 @ 114 to 1/2 track. What do you think it is capable of at that boost/power level?

Looking back I did 1.39 in the drag-r at 1740kg on ET streets so Meremere's not toooo bad off the line I suppose, its the rest of the roller coaster ride and the bumps and lack of top end grip thats the problem, Reece runs 3-4 10th quicker in Aussie easy, he told me I'd be shocked how much power you can use from 1/2 track compared with here.

On the aborted 9.7 run in the drag-r I had 5.something @ 117mph at 1/2 track and that car has gone on to run 9.4 @ 155mph on a pretty average air frield runway so you'd have to be talking 9.40-9.50 with 6.0 @ 114???

Good luck with it this weekend. My favourite drag oriented GTR and one of my favourite all time. Great car.

9.4 ??? on low boost?

9.4 ??? on low boost?

9.4 on 29psi

turned it up 3 psi and blew the tyres off it (smoked all four right through 1st and part through 2nd) but still ran 9.7. Tyre pressures were a little high and the suspension needs tweaking before we can run more power. Its scary to think we have around 6-7 psi up our sleeve which equates to around 130hp at the tyres. Ive discussed a custom rear cradle with a supplier today with adjustable pick-up points which may be handy.

the 60' times on 29psi ranged from 1.39 all the way down to 1.36. Lots of fun

Well I did say Drag PRESCILLA

[Marko R1]

do you like my new launching sig. below?

just add some smoke as it launches - hilarous but accurate to the real deal

[Marko R1]

it even squats as it gets off the line - haha luv it

[Mr GTR-32]

10/10 for the sig Paul your a talented boy arent you. I agree with Marko a little bit of smoke would ne nice. Or how about have 2 or 3 different sequences one staging the R doing a massive burnout etc etc you know what i mean.

Congrats Paul on another PB. I am sure that you will soon see the magic 8 pass

Mark ran 9.38 with the same set-up (turbo kit and box) with 100whp more using the clutch to shift gears. Changed to flatshifting and went to 9.0...so at least 1/10th saved on each shift as well as the added momentum gained with the increase in MPH.

The maths looks to be in my favour for a high 8...but theory doesn't always carry into practice easily.

Paul was good to meet you and was impressed when i saw you run the 9.4, pitty you broke out. did you manage to grab the next gear after all.

yes...was its pass with the car shifting properly, went into 4th like a hot knife into butter. I dont press anything other than the accelerator pedal when going through the traps...this back off when in front or pressing the brakes before the traps shits me. I should have given myself a little more headroom with the dial-in...i first decided to dial 9.47 a 1/10th quicker than my PB which was 9.57...but changed to 9.50. So it wouldn't have mattered either way. Next event ill have more of an idea and be able to bracket race it a bit better. Smashed him at the tree with a 0.02 reaction and the race was over at 1/2 track...he should have bought me a beer for letting him win.
