geez they can launch for a stock car

and

I'd hate to be that 180 driver

Yeah it looked like he just stopped and watched the 35... i probly woulda done the same.

As for the launch, launch control built into the factory ECU sure does help.

LOL that 180SX got minced...

You know what someone really needs to do to one of these....

FIT A GOD DAMN EXHAUST TO THE THING!!!!!

I want to listen to the non restricted growls of these beasts of a motor :D

I wouldn't say that the R35 "launched hard" (have no idea what the 60ft time is) it just did what the ECU makes it do. If you want to see a GTR launch hard watch DirtGarage do a 10sec flat in his R32 GTR and you will see a front wheel lift off the ground, the back end squat and it just zooms off like nothing else.

The 180SX cooked the launch resulting in wheel spin followed by a bounce on the limiter, by then it was off boost and game over whilst grabbing 2nd gear, hardly a fair run.

I dont really think anyone is taking the 180's run seriously.

If you go down to the drags tonight in Perth for whoop ass Wednesday you will see a Black R35 GTR having a go and for the people who cant be their it is being filmed and I assume a movie with times will be on Youtube later tonight.

I will post the time when I find out as the person driving knows what he is doing so it should be good.

Don't those things have launch control and fully-automatic gear selection?

(that is, the driver's job is to press the loud pedal and steer between the lines?)

I'd have expected all of them to reel off basically the same time/trap in stock form...

yes. Thats true, but you get to choose. :rofl:

Oh and ummmm....Isnt the job of most pro draggers to "step on the loud pedal and steer between the lines"? :/

i was there and i saw this thing roll up to the line, f**k it was awesome, after its run everyone was like what the f**k was that thing, ppl were quing up in the pits the c it when it came back

lol, a confused look on a gaggle of flanno always brings a smile to my face :D

thats cool - how come then NIssan list "11.7s" as their time rather than lower..surely if Steve Jones hit that time, there must be professional nissan testers able to run quicker/similar times.

nissan lists it's 0 - 100 kmph as 3.6 seconds but some review had it done in 3.3 apparently with launch control or something on. will try find the vid...

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
