Drags are on tomorrow night.

What do y'all think I'll get with a 2-2.3 sec 60ft?

Car is R32 GTR (in rwd)

340rwhp

275 Kuhmo tyres around my 19s...

OS triple plate clutch

I'm hoping for somewhere around the 13 flat mark as I haven't had the car that long yet and I'm not the fastest gear changer...

Any input on how to launch rwd cars etc?

Depends if you can keep it boosting chris.

All that lag is eating up the time. thats why you should downgrade that turbo or make some more power with it so that when it does hit its worthwhile :)

Trading off that much response for 240rwkw isnt really worth it. Get it retuned to run the boost it should be! 25psi! lol

You better be doing quicker then what my 165kw commodore did in RWD this time chris! hahahaha

actually it was a semi-final >_<

i like no.11 too "had too much grip"

and no.14 "had too much power"

Final as in quarter-final, semi-final or final. I would never credit you with making a final round anywhere mate. That's what your missus is for. :(

haha.

Well its in rwd because the 4wd is broken. Something wrong with the oil control switch...

Yeah grant, it'll run better than your commie. And when you learn how to tune my power fc for free instead of me having to drive 8 hours i'll get it tuned! :D

Nah, next brissy trip i reckon ill get it tuned for around 18psi.. depends how the injectors go. they're at 90% now but its also ridiculously rich.

Couldn't get the power down AT ALL>

Worst 60ft times you would have ever seen lol. Got in a few runs, but just couldn't work out the best way to launch with this clutch.

I think my best run was 14.7 at 107mph with 2.843...

Other runs:

14.7 at 108mph with a 2.874 60ft

14.9 at 106mph with 2.83 60ft

16.5 at 103mph with 3.06 60ft

15.4 at 104mph with 2.92 60ft

15.1 at 106mph with 2.96 60ft

15.2 at 102mph with 2.75 60ft

20.6 at 45mph...missed 3rd lol. still only had a 3sec 60ft though.

Any ideas on the best way to launch with this type of clutch?

Next time I will soften the rear coilovers as much as I can... Don't want to have to buy slicks as I like it to be full street times, but I might.

275's great traction

Forgot to mention, although its obvious... 275s did absolutely nothing. I ran better times on half the boost with 245s. Kuhmo Ecsta are not a great tyre at all. Couldn't even get traction in 2nd gear.

go back! u can do better! lol

LOL. I'm determined to get a good time in rwd now. Any good ways to launch other than riding the clutch?? Someone on here has got to have similar or more power and run on street tyres.......

I think you meant 14 sec GTR.....................

No, it's not slow. You should know that after driving it to and from last night. Just a bit slippery at the start line. Reeled in that commonwhore last night pretty easy!

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
