What's the best time to get there to enter?

Me and a couple of mates are going to have a run tomorrow night

gates open at 5 for competitors, sometimes 4.50pm thel open, then u got through scrutineering and then u will probly wait around for half an hour or so coz racing starts at 6pm

yep - rev limit clutch dump works well :cool:

nah - something around 4000rpm works from what ive read, then bleed the clutch out or pop it out if you got a hd clutch

otherwise just work around that value - try 4000rpm one time, then 4500 rpm then 3500 rpm, then just feel around them till you find something that works for you

lately ive seen a few gtrs down at the strip runnin like 14s alot off ppl are revvin to like 3000 3500 droppin the clutch and its just bogging off the line, depends really if u gotta heavy duty clutch or not, if not i wouldnt try launching too hard, if u do i think ya should git it 4000rpm+ and practise gettin off the line without bogging it

4000rpm should be alright, i notice some people rev it o 4000rpm and straight out drop the clutch and it bogs, if u go a bit slower on the clutch to keep the revs up and give it plenty of throttle it should launch ok, i have got a 2.0sec 60ft last week in my gtst

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
