Here are a few video clips from the drags:

Boostzor's 14.36 run, watch that exhaust go for it! (4.4MB)

InitialD's 14.04 run. (3.6MB)

Gradenkos 14.04 run, mmm love the sound of a 3" straight thru exhaust... (4.4MB)

Thats all we got before we ran out of tape :-(

They're compressed using DivX 5.0.2. The file sizes are huge cause I couldn't bare to lower the res anymore than 500x400. Even so, the quality is pretty poor. Anyone know how to compress DivX without those pesky artifacts coming through? (look at spinning wheels or fast pans)

I've got a few more clips lined up ready to edit, like Boostzors incident and Miss Autosalon :D

Edit: Silly me, here I was thinking that our dv cam took progressive footage, turns out its interlaced. Only mega buck cams (read greater than $10k) record progressive. I was treating it as progressive video, hence all the interlaced artifacts. Anyway, i've uploaded new copies as of 6:30pm (perth time). Nothing different about the clips expcept they look a little nicer.

Oh, I didn't notice that. Still, seeing as timing doesn't include reaction time and it only starts when the car leaves the line, I think 14.04s should stand.

RadiuM, can I take you up on the offer of webspace? I don't think my account has enough space for the next clip I'll have finished.

except when u brake

when u leave b4 .4 of a sec the time is taken off your final et

re action time is the time it takes u to break the first laser beam, et starts from when u break the 2nd. so leaving early does reduce your time.

but a 14.2 still is good and on par with all initald's other runs.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
