I don't use the hand brake to launch so these are without handbrake

5500-6000rpm is minimum to get a good launch with stock turbos, 6500-7000 for -7s is what worked in the 34 so the guy ( sorry I forgot who it was ) that said 7000rpm for -9s is on the money, you just have to ride the clutch like you paid for the full hour and you intend on enjoying every minute

drive it like you stole it, service it like you love it

Well I've cranked my stockers up to 18 pounds not too long ago and it would've been the most violent thing I've ever driven....took some mates with and they too were very impressed! It was very, very troquey down low and pull all the way thru till redline in 1st and 2nd....but in the remaining gears they weren't too crash hot.

The only thing I've been wondering about is how yours fair down the straight in the higher gears?

124mph on GT-SSs ? I have run back to back 125+mph on stock turbos in a full weight car(+ 2 amps )so why would GT-SSs only run 124?

R33 GTR - heavier :D

Everyone i know with -9s hasn't run better than 124mph on PULP in a 33R

Oh actually 380rwkw man has a R32 so it would be higher by a few - but it still won't be anywhere near 130mph, which it will need to be to back 380rwkw

125mph over a standing 1/4 is how it goes in the taller gears :yes: , it has also seen 240kmph+ by the end of EC main straight,

ride clutch, it should be a progression not just a step, stepping will break drive line at 7000rpm, the key is to load the drive line then progressively lift foot off clutch pedal and hold on. :thumbsup:

are yes 33s are very fat, and I don't mean PHAT, lol :nyaanyaa: , even so given 125 with 290rwkw, a genuine 380rwkw I would think should see more then 130, then that's in a 32

lol ye that are heavier no doubt - Agreed on all accounts :thumbsup:

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
