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...

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?

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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
