limiter launch ftw but still use the handbrake, ive seen a few breakages from just dropping clutch, when using the handbrake u take any 'slack' out of your driveline, also helps u come onto boost before launching, so as said before line up, pull on handbrake keeping hand on the handbrake slowly rev and release clutch till you feel it start to bite, then foot flat drop handbrake n clutch!!

Cheers for all the tips.

For my 265 is 22psi all round a good starting point?.....i done a few launches, at 4000 i get huge bog...6000-7000rpm launches seem just right though and it bites and im away

also i have some alreasy stiff coilover suspension...its damper adj and the damper setting is around half way...should i adjust for the drags?

Is it bad to have the accelerator floored the whole time? ie not taking your foot off during gear shifts?...

....one thing id like to say....after a few launches i could really smell my clutch...is this normal?

Thanks to all!...im gnna practise Handbrake techniques tommorow:)

I'd be interested in tips for my r33 gtst also gonna be a first timer at WSID next month. I know if i do rev limiter launches i am gonna fire the tyres. 5000 rpm be alrght with the hand brake ??

I like Martin Donnon's list (happy 40th btw Martin) except for the "sit on the limiter for five seconds" one. What a steaming pile of turd. Limiter launches don't need a whole five seconds on it. WTF?!

Did you not know that he sells RB oil pumps ?

2 seconds or 3 'pops' whichever comes 1st for me...best of 1.41 on radials tells me my method works.

LOL! That explains it then.

Listen to this man. He knows stuff.

Come on HPI - its the publication everyone needs to read and accept as gospel because all we are here are internet experts

Just like magazine experts...

I qualify for both categories so tell me what sort of a fcukwit I am?!!?!?

LOL!

Havent read the thread but stocko suspension is a good idea, stiff coilovers arnt going to be doing you any favours

not really...but are stockers are adequate.

ive tried...stock...revalved stock (drag set-up 90/10's in the front and 60/40's in the rear) and HKS circuit coilovers...what worked the best?

The HKS items.

Mark Jacobsen ran KYB circuit coilovers all the way up to low 8's and 60'd in the low 1.3's with them on radials...try doing that on stockers.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
