i cant believe that brett - if wsid's timing equipment was out of calibration by 1 pooftenth then u have your 10 sec pass :ermm:

anyway, my clutch will be done by the end of this week so i'll be ready to run next wed!

the last time i did my 11 i was pulled up after the run & asked for an andra licence which was required for anything under a 12sec, were u asked when u did ur run? im wondering if i can get away without this licence for the next time im out there...what are your thoughts paul & did u also get my pm?

i finally got out there last night & did my run - btw my new exedy twin plate clutch is awesome so i highly recommend this to anyone looking for a strong clutch...

i did my 4 runs & here are the results of my last 2 runs:

8.00pm run:

11.18ET, 1.54sec60' @ 118.75mph

unfortunately i kept it in 3rd gear across the finish line & it was literally on the limiter for what probably felt like 1sec.

this would have been my 10sec run if i shifted into 4th.

9.30pm run:

11.15ET, 1.61sec60' @ 128.65mph

this time i short shifted into 4th gear earlier than usual @ approx 7500rpm to drive the car across the finish line which gave me the better mph BUT i ruined my 60' launch as i didn't put enough heat in tyres, the car kicked out almost 45degree in my 2nd gear burnout & i couldnt bring it back so i had to let it go.

the equation i was given is every .1sec you save on a 60' time = .2sec save on ET time.

from this if i get my 60' down to 1.51sec im there, i.e. 11.15 - .2 = 10.95 (i now know how to launch & drive my car, finally...)

paul - thank you once again for allowing me to borrow your wheels & suspension, you're 1 of a kind :whistling:

i will be getting out there once again over the next few weeks to claim my 10 :D:):)

Hi Marko,

I ran a 10.95 @ 127mph with 1.607 60ft in my GTR and a bloke I know ran a 10.8 something at 125mph, So you definatly have it! :whistling: . I was running Federal tyres.

Cheers Scoop

what power are you running awkw? on federals cracking a 10sec is awesome!!!

how much awkw does your mates car have?

You probably could be a little faster to half track are you slamming those gears ? :). On the 11.0 run I did a 1.605 60ft and was [email protected] to half track and 127mph through the top . So your pretty much on the limiter in 3rd right at the end ?? . I remember when I had my 32 I would have to pull 4th comfortably before the finish weird .

im conscious of my gearbox as i have broken 3rd gear in my previous gtr (that was due to changing too fast on the street) - so im not slamming my gear changes or flat changing but yes i can improve in this area which will save me time

at the end of the track i cant hold 3rd gear, i tried this in my 2nd last run & hit the limiter way before the finish line, my limiter is set @ 8500rpm. i need to get it in 4th gear to cross the line

im almost @ 129mph so i know my car will do a 10 easily - practise will get me there

hey,

sorry for the tard question, but what is flat changing? and for drag racing is it a good idea when gear changing to give the throttle a quick bump to keep revs constant to help syncros?

any advice would be appriciated

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
