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. :)

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
