Unless you have semi slicks or slicks, it's no different to launching on the road.



Less. I launched on the road on AD08R breaks traction easier. But on the strip with the rubber on the strip. Car actually feels like it's being twisted because the grip levels are different. Haha just my 2 cents. I don't usually do drags anyways.

Yeah a little slip on the clutch and I'd also suggest that you can't get your tyres (on a GTR) to the required heat levels to cause any huge hook up on launch.

Add to that the fact that AD08R's are a track semi with a stiff side wall and don't bag up like a drag semi/slick to give immense shock to the system, above and beyond what would happen on a regular road.

 

 

Sweet.

Nothing to the drags if you use a small amount of mechanical sympathy.

Don't be the guy who says he has 11ty7 killerwasps without actually running it, mph doesn't lie.

Hell, if your scared of breaking something dont launch hard, just do a normal take off and run it through the gears, you will still get a good mph.

Me, something  in the 13 seconds area and I'm happy.

Like Jas said, pre-load the drive train (a little clutch slip) and don't go crazy with launch.  I actually found in my GTR 5500 launch had quicker 60ft than 6k, 7k or even 8k launches.

im so bad at it... hahahahaha but yeah maybe next time ill give it a go again!

i managed a 12.4 i think... but the launch felt like - *DAAAAMNNNN* haha - was my first time at the strip... 3 launches and i decided.. nup... enough... lol

100% in. Have we got a lane booked for the night? If not, might be a good idea, we'll be able to keep us all together + get a few grudge matches going

Might spend $$$ and get some semi-slicks for this one

We have booked a lane for the night.

 

The information below is from Sydney Dragway.

For a staging lane reservation on a Wednesday night “Race 4 Real” event, we need to keep to a maximum 25 cars. This is due to the length of the staging lane used… and the likelihood that other assigned lanes, hopefully, will be full.

 

We’ve made the process as easy as possible:

 

  • There is no fee other than the normal $60 competitor entry fee, payable on entry through Gate 14
  • Choose a pit space and complete your entry form while still in the pit area
  • Take your COMPLETED entry form and drivers licence – on-foot – to Registration
  • Your lane reservation participants should each advise the Registration and Scrutineering officials that they are part of the lane reservation
  • Once your paperwork is approved and a wristband has been issued, then collect your car and bring it around for Scrutineering.

 

Please note: When drivers bring their car straight to scrutineering, then go and stand in a queue for Registration, you can imagine the traffic gridlock it creates. Everyone gets blocked and no one goes anywhere. So, please do the paperwork first, then scrutineering, then head into the staging lanes ready for racing.

 

It would help if each of your members could write your lane reservation name (i.e. Skylines) on their entry forms, before they get to Registration. That will ensure no one is missed and assigned to a different lane.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
