R32 GTST times ???

[Mush]

Ive just got my R32gtst 3 weeks ago. Completely stock, now i hav a full 3' exhaust with a high flow cat.

Im gonna hit Calder drags in the next few weeks and just wondering wat u guys hav found to b the best way to launch ? So far ive tried keeping the revs at about 3500rpm the dumping the clutch the car just bogs, but wen i feather the accelerator at 3000rpm then dump the clutch gets a bit of wheel spin but i do manage to stay on the ass of my mates MR2 turbo (mid mounted engine) untill we hit 2nd then i pull away a bit.

So im just wondering if there's anyone out there that has figuerd out the best way to launch there skyline ?? in particularly the 32.

P.s anybody got any clues on wat i should be doing down the 1/4 ? i have 225's on the rear.

cheers

Try attaching it to a rocket!

Just kidding!

Depends heaps on your clutch, suspension setup and tyres.

If you don't mind burning your clutch a bit just slip it a little until your away while realeasing the handbrake to limit wheel spin. Don't let the revs go below about 5000rpm.

Stock clutch will probulary fry.

Let me know when you are going, im new to Melb and havent been to Calder, and want to run my car as well. Im thinking the first week or two of July.

As for launching unless you are looking to replace your clutch then id take it easy and only briefly ride the clutch with about a 3.5-4k launch, .I would rather go 0.2-0.4seconds slower knowing im looking after my clutch then cook my clutch just to a fraction of a second quicker...

As for times, i suppose a flat 14 for a car with exhaust woudl be a realistic goal.

i ran a 14.1 in a r32gts-t with exhaust and air filter. using crappy 215 40 17s with street pressure.

The bets way i found of launching was holding the handbrake when staged and hold the car on biting point with boost all ready built up so you have some real power to get off of the line try 4k rpm with this launch then go higher slipping clutch out. but be careful your clutch gets hot and also gearboxes are quite weak so upgrade to r33 box if going to drag a lot.

hey dude

i have a r32 gtst aswell

for me if i have good tyres on its a 4k dump... foot to the floor, i get just that little bit of wheel spin,

but i dnt have the power to keep it spinning... mines pretty stock

if i dont have alot of tread then its a 3500k launch

but if u want what i reckon is the best launch, just ride the hell out fo your clutch, kinda hard to do

i need to ride it without moving forwards

so rip the handbrake up, ride the clutch so boost builds and let the handy down as u take off
