A couple of the big powered LS1 guys i know launch in second every now and then. Shouldn't be that bad, however maybe being an AWD, it'll put a lot more load on the drivetrain compared to RWD so not sure...

Edited by PM-R33

wouldnt the box break first? also do they really do it? because one of the coments made by them was every gtr owner knows to lanch it in 2nd and they got a wicked start the guy in the 32 gtr got belted he lanched in first.

did they have traction?

when i think of hitting the plex and launching beyond 4000rpm all i can see is things ending with sideways into concrete

For best results, launch in 3rd

If you have the budget to build a car that can withstand that kind of punishment, then do it. If not, then do it and break shit everywhere.

Why not just make some more power, launch it gently, then munch everyone in 50m time?

Hahaha yeah i got that pic. Wasn't it the flywheel that exploded though?

yeh was the flywheel went everywhere even into the road was holes through the bonnet just a mess.

ok thats the battle but dosnt have the end bit where there talking and descussing the gtr's and about the lanch in 2nd i have the full dvd, now check out the lanch the r33 and r34 was in 2nd and the r32 and r35 where in first.

you are right. the big drama will be the strain on the clutch and on the engine. but sure its worth a try if you find you are getting lots of wheel spin in 1st gear launches. you'll need some decent power to get it happening nicely though.

crikey... the 32 initially gets off the line a touch quicker but the 33 and 34 come storming past... the 34 looks to be making more than 600ps tho... or its just running average tires as it smokes them up even launching in 2nd!? (maybe it was just turning the wheel as he had to steer around the 33)

I'd be interested to know if that improves the 0-100kn/h time as you wouldn't have to make a gear change

I'm too scared to try it... someone else try it and let me know how it went lol

Did any of you see the pic from a few years back where some muppet in a R33 ( I think), tried to launch it at 7000rpm and parts of the clutch came through the bellhousing into the cabin? Was pretty dramatic lol.

that was benm your talking about yeah... as far as i can remember it was a jim berry rebuilt clutch mated to a lightened stock flywheel and was a 1st gear 7k sidestep ~> BANG!

dangerous, dangerous shit

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
