Hey all

Took the track car out to the 1/4 mile drags on the weekend.

Wasnt a full on meet or anything more a come and try / test.

My HUGE problem was bogging down hard at the start, not being able to launch at all.

Running slicks i couldnt get off the line at all.

Car is a r33 gtst has 335kws, manual etc

it didnt matter how many revs i put through it nothing was working for me.... any ideas??

Once off the line and going was strong

What time did it run? What 60 ft? Post the slip please.

Your running a 3076r hta right? That should get on boost pretty quick. Perhaps it's down to the tune, did you get the temp sensor in place and a retune yet?

I was out there in my stagea , had dramas first pass and couldn't be stuffed sorting it. Ran a 13.5 at 105 woth a 2.48 60 ft. with problems from a half track. 1 second slower than last time but still 2 seconds quicker than the other stag out there! The extra lag of gt35 and stock converter certainly didn't help...... was a bit over the car lately so happy to just park it.

I didn't notice your car, I would have said hi.

Hey mate i didnt get the slips from it. i cbf was pissy lol... i should have but threw in the towel after 3 runs. Will get back out as soon as the car is better sorted.

Na its still not sorted at all, boost comes on late still. The only reason i ask there was a few stockish 32s and 33s getting off the line a hell of a lot better then me with less hp.

I can only remember it ran into the high 12s each time

Was yours the white stag??

I was there late late. as i wasnt going to do it then decided to....

But had my bright yellow LH torana out there early if you saw that? but also had trouble on the day with that also.. hence why the towel was thrown in early and no slips were got lol.. all round had a shit day lol.

The Torana should run into the 11s but best that was sqeezed out was 12.3 with it breaking down from launch to mid track then ran perfect from there

My stagea is silver, the white one was running 15s.

I saw the torana and could hear it misfiring etc. Looked tidy though. Drag racing is heaps frustrating sometimes hey!

Don't be afraid to use the anti lag.

Ah ok didnt see your silver one

Yer was missing but in second gear from mid track onwards was strong so will have to look into it. changed the carby jets and timing on the fly which made a little difference but will take it back and chuck it on the dyno and getting it back up....

Actually the Torana could have been petrol issue. was running avgas but couldnt get any so added 100 octane to it.. so it may not have liked the mixture.

So thats when we decided to shelve it and got my car out only for that to have problems lol....

bloody cars

and right now im in two minds....

I love drags and doing like mallanats etc.. but i wanted this car as an alrounder. like have a crack at drifting, hill climbs etc....

But a 2 speed power glide would make a big difference..........

You never answered what rpm you were launching at? The guy you were answering has a GTR, he may as well be the same as a GTS25t on slicks. On sticky tyres I was needing to launch mine over 6000rpm with a normal GT3076R.

What kind of trap speeds were you running, out of interest?

Ahh ok yer i have slicks on it.

i was launching from, started trying at 4000 then to 5000 then eased it off the line which actually did the best.....

Trap speed was around 110. i should have kept the slips, but between both cars had a frustrating day!

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
