Impressive numbers but i assume they test with great drivers and dump that clutch hard on redline; not the way we would treat our cars....well at least i wouldnt.

I know the r34 gtr's new turbines produce better low end torque to help with the launch resulting in the better time.

I couldn't agree with you more. Those super low times are almost certainly launches where the drivers have dumped the clutch from redline or close to redline. The clutch won't last very long doing that.

I think every owner does it a few times when they buy their first GTR to see what it's like, but don't do it again unless they go to the drags or track days. It's mechanical abuse.

I remember watching these old Japanese clips of some 1/4 mile drags with Skylines and other Jap cars.

The R33 did a best of 13.0 secs with other runs being around 13.1 and 13.2. The Supra did 14.0, RX7 13.5.

I believe under 13 secs is possible with the restrictor removed.

Hi guys..... I ran my 100% stock JDM at WSID (or whatever it is called now) about 12 months ago.......

I refused to dump the clutch and consistently ran 14.4-14.6. (Around 13-14 runs all up on the day).

From memory it was doing about 166kph at the end.

Tricked up HSV's were doing high 12's/low 13's with very similar terminal speeds.

My 0-30m time were awful as I basically just took of revving it to 2000rpm.

I've been invited to another private day in August but don't want to be embarrassed with similar times.

Are there any tricks that will improve my times without sidestepping the clutch at 6000rpm?

Thanks.... Bob.

Well you did just go ahead and bump a thread that's been inactive nearly 4 years. One would assume the 2013 is going to be quicker then the 2009 version....

Bob, get the clutch to where it takes up, sit just off it, get some revs up to get turbos wound up, nail it, then slip the clutch really quick... Doing almost this I was pulling 1.6 60ft on crappy Nexens (I was getting to the limiter first) and I am running a double plate. The car doesn't bang or shudder, it just sits down and wheel spins a bit at the back then launches. The photos I have it almost has the fronts off the ground.. ;)

Appreciate the feedback....... what about disabling the 4WD (pulling the fuse), does this make any difference or make it slower?

Exactly. Before you launch you should load up the drive train so there is tension and nothing is slack. As iplen said. What I do is get the clutch to the point when feel the car moving, put the hand brake on after it moves slightly. Rev to 5k on a stock motor and slip the clutch slightly and release the hand brake and clutch at the same time. No crashing or clunking. Might wear the clutch a bit but rather that than breaking something. Cheers.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
