Had great night last night, took the GTR, E55 & our mate brought his 2003 M3.. and I finally got a clean pass with the GTR "not a good one" but we were still happy. The E55 was the biggest suprise, we thought high 12's low 13's and on its first run with ESP on did a 12.56 (on Comfort Setting =Soft Suspension), the best was a 12.4 @115MPH (on Super Sports Setting =Hard Suspension??go figure), The M3 "Manual" did 1 run at 13.34 @104MPH. The best time we got with the GTR was a flat 12, but shifted into 4th way way way to early (5grand) and had a 118MPH, with a high 1.9sec 60ft.

It was obvious traction played a big problem, for the GTR, with launches varying between 5000-6500rpm. But what was apparantley impressive to others were our first 2 runs. Our first 2 runs were a 12.2 & 12.3, with 60ft's in the 2.1's, but our MPH were around the 122's~. A few people we spoke to were saying with MPH like that the car is capable of an easy low 11, some were saying Hi 10??? WTF??? Trying to be a little realistic, we though at least a high 11, maybe mid 11.. I'm hoping someone can explain alittle further on the "MPH" figure.

Also, it was Nice to me Ulyisis :D.

Nice times Simon.. the E55 must go hard :D

the MPH figure is your trap speed which some people use to estimate what your car's HP / torque output is. Depending on a number of factors like gearing, tyre diameter, etc. it is possible to calculate an estimated quarter mile time based on your trap speed (MPH) and HP output and power/weight ratio.

:D

Was keen to get out there mate but after the sly trip to Winton was feeling pretty ordinary. Glad I stayed off the track.

Rob was the guy from Creatd who tuned my car Weds. I thought he was bringing the green/purple chameleon Lancer 1.8 with 300+fwkw as he hadn't had time to sort the GTR. Did it have one of the lights cut out for air?

Anyway sounds like you had some fun and nice times. So sorry to disappoint.

yes, I remember pissen myself about that headlight :D I said you surely don't drive around with that light like that?? he reckons it's been like that for over a year or so with no problems. But, gotta say, that is one hell of an interior job he's done.

my best time for the evening was 12.2 @ 115mph. my biggest problem was my 60' times. the best i could manage was constant mid 1.9's. on my last outing i was in the low 1.8's, so i need to work on my launches there. on some launches i had trouble with axle tramp.

saw a couple of other skylines as well but didnt see their times.

nice to meet ya mesh. hopefully next time we'll get 1.8 60 footers!

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
