Hey, I have a 94 r33 gtst manual skyline. My brother has just bought a VN ss. ive raced him and kicked his ass, but only when we were rolling at 20kmph. his is an auto its got the usuall mods like exhaust and extractors. So how do i take off so that i kick his ass, i know that if i get a good start, all he will see is my nice big round tail lights, but if i stuff up than ill have to chase him down, which i know isnt a problem i just wanna smoke him at the lights, cos hes a commonhore lover and skyline hater. Can anyone help? do i just drop the clutch at say 2200 rpm, or is there some other way. Please help? I was practising tonight, and al i got was alot of wheel spin, i got like 2 good take offs from like 8. What are some tips that can help me take off without bogging down or lighting up the tyres, cos my brother has been running round sayin that he can beat me, only cos i bogged down once and didnt bother to chase him. PLEASE GUYS HELP i wanna show this tree huggin commonhore lover of a brother that skylines are the bomb, and that his crappy VN SS AUTO is a BOMB. :wassup: :rofl:

practice practice practice.

buy new clutch.

practice practice practice... and so on and so forth.

Ideally you want the hardest rev you can drop without wheelspin.. add about 200rpm and adjust clutching accordingly.. (basically what was said above cept another way of thinkigna bout it).

Then just practice as you go along.

1 = Start from behind, never alongside

2 = Hold it against the handbrake

3 = Take up the clutch till it bites a little

4 = Idle up to 2,000 rpm

5 = Roll off the clutch slowly and add accelerator at the same time

6 = Minimal wheelspin by throtttle control

7 = Close up to the rear in first

8 = Change into second at 7,000 rpm

9 = Pull out and go past

10 = Make sure to sound horn and wave bye bye as you speed past :wassup:

The object is maximum embarrasment, do it once, laugh about it afterwards and he won't race you again. Offer to do it once more if the fool persists, but tell him you will give him a bigger head start this time as he needs all the help he can get. :)

I launch at 4200rpm.. But its an RB20DET lol.. :)

Slipping the clutch is the key.

You probably have tyres that are shot by the sounds of it. Either that or you diff is open wheeling.

I've loaded up against the handbrake a few times.

It works well and gives you a clean launch but by the time I click second I always get clutch slip..

Thats my crappy 2.5yr old clutch though. :)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
