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.

    • 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.
