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 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.

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.

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      By DominusUniversi · Posted

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
