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!!

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
