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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
