the driver was hitting the limiter before he took off and creeped up forward... then the official sort of lost it and told him to move back... then he revved dumped like he just stole the gtr went left right left right until it looked like he touched the brakes and ended up smacking the rear end mostly on the other side.. maybe he shit himself and got nervous on the track :kiss: does insurance pay for LEGAL drag racing...

and btw CRAKED why werent u racing ur car!.. remember i was going to swap u the bonnet and boot at safs.. i own that white r33.... saw ur car in the car park looking lonley.. shouldve been on the track champ!

Insurance will not cover the damage even though he asked the question of the officials at WSID. :kiss:

The official didn't lose it at him at all, btw. He directed him to roll back through the beams as he had crossed them with his front wheels.

lol, from up top the official looked frustrated because people dont realise that they have a certain mark where they have to stop, thus why the chrismas trees have the 2 top lights that tell u to stop, they should have a sign that displays STOP WHEN THE 2 LIGHTS FLASH or something,

and i think it would be awesome if they had a big screen tv with replay action :kiss:

yeah big screen action reply would be a winner. considering each race only lasts 12 seconds or so and it takes a minute or two between runs some nice replays would be cool.

Hate to say it but this tool deserved what he got....

Before even entering the water area he was bouncing off the limiter for easily 10sec, then the official says oi u arent even in the water so he drives straight through the water and gives it another bounce off the limiter just incase he forget where the redline was.

Then he throws it in reverse to backup to the water but realises its 4wd so wouldnt do a burnout anyway so heads towards the line. Stops a full car length short and bounces on the limiter again ready for the green light. Starter official motions him forward and he rolls straight past the line, then reverses back and slowly rolls forward again whilst sitting on the limiter again.

The starter did his usual pissed off start by not waiting until both cars were set (gtr was still rolling) and soon as the 2nd pre-stage light is up he hits the button and the gtr driver decides to let the clutch out. Does a few left to rights and throws on too much opposite lock, front wheels bite and send him sideways towards the opponents wall (whom would have been shitting himself as much as the gtr driver) and takes out his rear end.

No not even 4wd will save dickheads.

:blink:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
