I have a little problem.... My mate just bought a 2000 model R8 clubsport and is convinced it is faster then my R33 so we are taking them down to Calder to see for sure. The problem is i dont want to look like a fool if he destroys me.... any one have any ideas on how it will go?

here are the specs:

R33: series 1, lowered, air filter, exhaust system (3.5"), boost up to 12psi.

R8: Stock, 250Kw, Auto

I recon he is in trouble but want to get some opinions from people who have run against similar cars.

yeah..... i know and he even tries to tell me that the holden traction control button on his dash will work like a F1 launch control box...... i really have to beat this guy, i may just wind my boost up to 20psi for the 1/4 mile run and just pray that nothing explodes.....

The tests quoted by magazines are based on a g-tech so they are very optimistic

Dont Wheels and Motor use Correvit timing, i was under the impression that this is highly accurate, only they time the cars with half a tank and a passenger so typically carrying approx 100kg additional.

As for his car being quicker... dont worry. Look at it like i do.

Not many of my friends are into cars, but typically those that are all have quicker cars... I love it, they get to spend all their money on getting their cars going quickly, and i get free entertainment joyriding in them.

He drives a Commodoor does he? Mmmmm.....

Could you ask him (and say Rezz from Japan wants to know),

HOW THE F*CK DOES HE KNOW WANT AN F1 LAUNCH CONTROL BOX IS LIKE? :looney:

Good luck, I hope you beat him:D

I am feeling a bit more confident now.... i still think it will be close, but if i lose it wont be by much and i can still give him shit for paying $35g for a car thats just faster then my $14500 car that can go around corners as well as drive in a stright line.

Yep highly accurate for a Correvit timing run Not a real dragstrip. The times are always a little too generous.

Dont get me wrong i love the skylines, but the LS1 motors are very good and make impressive power outputs. With the computers now cracked, 230rwkw is not uncommon with just tune and exhaust mods to LS1. I know they are heavy lumps, but with the added power, they can be still quick. My mate has ran 13.1 in his VX SS, 6 speed with no internal mods.

But seeing as this ones an auto, the autos slow them down alot as they LS1 loves to rev, so the stock R8 being an auto, you should hand it too him. Good luck anyway!! Its all fun.

    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
