Ran My Gtr @ The Creek

[benm]

Never had that problem ever, both of my gtr's never go over mid 20's even on 40c days running to redline many many times.

i have an update - i spoke to andrew from crd & he states the following:

- when u start the car the knock level can be distrupted hence the hand controller should always be reset after starting (u are right paul)

- if i hit rev limiter on the 1/4 mile this will also register a high knock level at times from noise etc when the exhaust pops & carries on

no need for a check with my tune - ready to go this wed night

Good to hear mate hopefully the weather stays good I will come out to watch spewing I won't have my tyres in time so I can run .

[7heavn]

Shame about the clutch Marko with that 60ft you were certainly on a 10sec run . Whats the plan now with the clutch ?? . Got my tyres today should be out there next Wednesday hopefully my OS twin plate can stand up the task of all the extra grip .

[Marko R1]

yeah my clutch let me down but as paul explained "drag radials will always uncover the weakest point of the driveline"

from here i had a 'relatively lengthy' discussion with jim berry (LOL personal joke) & paul aka TWOOGLE!

my options are to either go with jims 'full monty' big single OR rebuild my existing twin plate clutch...both paul & i agree that i should stick with my twin plate which is the path i have decided to take.

im off to phuket as of tomorrow, as soon as i get back im onto my clutch as im keen to get out there ASAP & get kicked off the track

brett - as long your clutch is healthy (as i think mine had its fair share) your twin plate is perfect for your application!

good luck with your run & make sure u post your results on this thread, i'll be checking at an internet cafe

[7heavn]

what was your launch technique on that last run?.

[Marko R1]

i did a short 2nd gear burnout then launched it @ 8000rpm - as soon as i got into top rpm of 1st gear i could hear it slip...2nd & 3rd gear did the same thing.

this is why i did an 11.7 but my 60' was 1.57 - there is still room for more improvement on my 60'

yep - i had a 10 in the bag

[7heavn]

I could hear the mechanical grip of the car on that 2nd run when I standing behind it . I think I might load mine up on the handbrake a bit

Id say he has a tune issue, or if he is using a fuel cut as a rev limit then it is self explanitory, should always cut ignition, not fuel.

might be more of an issue that a piece of rubber was getting sucked up into his 044 intank pump and blocking it causing a fuel flow issue....nasty lean outs...ouch!

11.008@127mph with a 1.605 60ft tonight but broke the diff on the last run bloody so close to a 10 .

[2rismo]

You're bloody kidding me!! Awesome time but breakages suck. Did you break the diff, CV joint(s) or axle(s)?

[benm]

You aren't trying hard enough unless you break something, so well done!

[2rismo]

And you know you're trying your hardest when you lunch everything and try to take out one or all of the following:

- Your feet

- The car

- The track

- The timing system

- The officials

- The fence

- The crowd

Isn't that right, Ben?

[benm]

Mate their is no point calling up a tilt tray just because you have a slipping clutch or you snapped an axle - smash the damn clutch (and everything else) and THEN you have a reason to call a tilt tray.

[2rismo]

<------------- is shamed out.

/hangs head

[NXTIME]

Well done, Brett...so very close. At least you can go back for more and not have to met ANDRA sub-11 ET specs.

What were the half track ET and MPH's?

[7heavn]

Will take a picture of the slip tommorow and post it up I left it at work .

[2rismo]

That's pretty well spot on. Looks like you're doing everything right during the run. Just a bit more in that sixty and the ten is yours.
