Well Ben - you can add my very ordinary effort of tonight.

R/T = .479

60' = 2.528

330' = 6.113

660' = 8.872

mph = 91.66

1000' = 11.178

ET = 13.118

MPH = 116.89

Km/h = 188.12

Must be able to do better then that - me thinks the driver needs more practice. :(

I'll scan the timeslip later - but you saw it.

hey b-man you wanna run :(

still at least your trying and the mph is good ;)

practice practice and practice

it would almost pay you to bring your car down to calder for a friday night you could get around 10-15 runs @ least if you try hard enough and the car can hack it now thats what I call practice

meggala

I know exactly how you feel Brendan ;) It's all part of the learning experience mate. I've had a drag meet where I started out with a 13.943 @ 117.35mph. In a way it actually makes you feel even better when you do finally nail a good one.

Gotta say though mate, you really suck at getting off the line :(

91.66mph at the 1/8th is very promising though. To give you an idea I had the following numbers on a 91.91mph at the 1/8th:

60' - 2.090

330' - 5.651

660' - 8.377

MPH - 91.91

1000' - 10.739

ET - 12.690

MPH - 119.12

My best numbers are:

60' - 2.143

330' - 5.492

660' - 8.188

MPH - 90.48

1000' - 10.531

ET - 12.473

MPH - 118.34

As you can see from my numbers above, it's a fine line between wheel spin and bogging it down. In the top run I had a good 60' (2.090) but then it light the rears up at about 70-80' and I lost out on ET. In the bottom one I came off the line slower and got better grip and therefore a quicker ET but lost out on top end MPH.

Yeah - I SUCK at getting off the line - It's much harder that you think hey.

If I give it too much, I seem to either wheelspin, back off and bog down - or the clutch slips (yeah still slipping on high boost)

That run was on low boost - high boost is slower (13.6) MPH is 117 -

I'm sure it is all driver related though.....

I was a bit disapointed to be honest - but hey practice make perfect :(

Hahaha... how hard can it be to go dead straight (well most of the time) for 400m? It's easy! Not when you've got a turbocharged engine that comes on boost like a mofo!

Keep at it mate. In another meet or two you'll have knocked 0.5sec off at the very least. You'll probably go mid/low 12's @ 120mph within the next two meets. And then when Brett gives you a shot on the Nittos you be into the 11's @ mid 120's. :(

He he - yeah me too - I had chronic axle tramp when trying to do a burnout - I think good suspension would help with the launches and traction -

But hey - it's easy to blame the car when most likely is the driver in my case :)

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
