GRRRRRrrrrrrrr..... :rofl:

You'll keep.

Adrian

lol... i wont go near the track as ppl keep telling me ill run 11s, but i know for a fact ill be lucky to crack a low 13s...say hello to the space cadet behind the wheel and pedals :(

Im trying to get a 2 stage rev limiter for my car, so i can cheat when trying to get the thing to launch properly...and yeh i have read the thoughts of others on this, but its my car, my coin, and the engineering of getting something like this set up and working well appeals to me more then the pedal work involved....

So what was that about the launch controller you were using?

Matt,

 

How are your gear changes now?  

 

I remember you saying a while back (216rwkw) that you grannyshift a little. :(

Hmmm... I probably shift a little more like a mid to late 40yr old mum now, certainly not MILF quality either :rofl:

But seriously, I still shift a tad softly. Any drag meet that I get to 'drive' the car home from is a good one!

At $1500 a pop I wouldn't be driving mine like I hate it either. ;)

My poor ol RB20t gearbox has been on its last legs for quite some time now, its just waiting for something to push it over the edge.

I have just the thing :)

just like I'm "assuming" I can do better... You're "assuming" I can't.

Listen matey, I've done what I talk about. Have you? Let your timeslips do the talking.

Roy, IanH uses the Power FC Pro in his GTT. It has launch control built in. You can hold the pedal flat and it will only rev to the pre-set level.

Adrian

your drag strip is concrete? hmm..

hard to tell from the vids.. just bouncing off the rev limiter probably chokes the car a bit after launch wouldn't it?

I think one launch in your vid was a low 2.x time which is not too bad.. should be able to get you a mid-13 from what i see from the SAU list if everything else is right.

What types of modifications dso you have on your car? Doesn't really seem to be taking off that quickly after the launch really, i think the mid-range is letting you down. What sort of tune has it had? do u have a dyno sheet? Maybe its just building too much power up top-end and not enough down low-mid end?

I wouldn't worry about trying to perfect the car at this point in time.

The driver needs the work.

I don't mean that in a derogitory (don't knock the spelling) way but until he's running consistent times at the peak of the current set up which may be @ 13.5, then what has he achieved.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
