hahah im not such a pro either, but the best way to launch IMO is to ride the clutch from about 4k rpm rather than dumping at lower rpm...but then it depends on how early u full throttle after u ride it without wheel spinning.

i'd like to get more advice on launching techniques as well btw... the rims are AVS so it may of helped me with performance abit but the tires are really cheap crap "roadsters"...i was assuming also that the stock rims are light enuff?

Did you let your tire pressures down?

Like 2.1 for me is a good 60ft but others would say its still abit slow. but for a street car to roll up and get that isnt bad.

Must have a very healthy R34 at least dude, thats a great and very quick time. At the drags I never managed to control my wheelspin. It was always excessive

Granthem, You need a few more mph on the terminal to crack the 13 easy. The mph helps indicate the power you are making so simply put R33Turbo's car makes more power than yours does. When mods are basically the same this can sometimes be due to things like running a Pod filter with no heat sheild.

yeh sorry i didnt mean my car has the MPH to do 13s easy... but i do believe with a good launch i could increase. I know this is against what most people say, but by dropping my 60fts in my old car by .2 of a second i picked up 2-3mph at the end.

So im hoping that a good aunch can net me 98-99mph.

But yes, my pod isnt shielded, i run my standard compliance cat aswell, which i guess is probably the biggest restriction anyway

i read the stuff about launching, i also try to ride the clutch out. but i get very little wheelspin when launching, even with 240+rwkw. could be the 255 bridgestones on the back lol. going to WSID this wed night hopefully. aiming for high 12s.

also, i would strongly recommend gutting your cat. i did this to my 33 and it revs out so much nicer. must be good for at least 10kw i reckon. and it shoots flames sometimes when you fang it.

search for "gutting cat" or "gutted cat" for some more info. its quite simple to do.

flames FTW!

ill race you if i see you there again. mind you im expecting mid 12s with a 230-240rwkw R33. :D

Interesting - I have similar power yet I'd struggle to run a 13 sec pass!

Good luck :down:

i guess it all comes down to suspension set up and skill!

edit - gt-ahhh - dont get caught with no cat :D

R33turbo - my gtst years ago with standard suspension and with a cat back and pod - I managed a 1.9 60ft.

Last time I ran it was like a 2.2 - I fail!! Mainly cause mines set up for the circuit.

In fact, I want to head out again, would love to see the mph mne gets! f**k the ET :D

lol. I did this once in the hills. Suddenly my car sounded like a ferarri pinging off its head, I realised what I did, but at the same time got a glimpse of the tacho which was reading just past 9000rpm haha. Didn't do any damage at all to my suprise.

MT ET streets. Drive down on them. Limiter Launch and my commie was pulling 2.0s.

So im considering a set of those for the skyline, because with the different diff ratios and slightly more power i think it would pull under 2 and hopefully, get a high high high 13.

here is my best slip for reference if anyone is interested.

this run i didnt pull 97mph though :blink:

1.9!? thats so close to the wrx launches. sheesh i guess its possible to get 2.0 then atleast :rofl:

1.9 60' for a rex?

only those who are walking off the line..

my S14 with 175rwkw and 17 inch 255's with 22 psi in them using stock clutch and turbo was getting 1.9 60footers.

you just have to find a happy medium on your launches and how you feed the power.

oh yeah mine was also with a stock clutch

didnt last long after that :(

Hey man, im planning on going wakefield tracks soon and i just realised you've managed 1:14 at Wakefield. What do u have done to help you on track if u don't mind me asking? (i.e. rear & front struts)

BTW 1:14 is BLOODY GOOD!!! I know evo's that get 1:14 lol (Pretty Mildly Worked too)

...a few years ago, there was a link being sent around to a US honda forum where some guy was doing a run on the freeway in his DC5R when they were new.

shifted from 4th at 8500rpm to 3rd instead of 5th.

Dood, i spent a whole 4 min searching, and i cant find it. I wanna see the mess!!

    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
