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?

12.48 if u run it in 4wd :D thats my guess 275's great traction trip plate clutch= negative on the clutch slip if uve got 4wd use it bud and u will clean up :P

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!

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
