How To Launch??????

[drewecrome]

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:

what tyres have u got? try launching from under 2000, above 2000 on shit tyres and stock clutch will just make it spin and do stupid shit. what model gtst is it? active lsd helps a lot

[Blade]

3000 and feather clutch till u feel traction then fully release

[someonestolecc]

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.

2000-2500 dont get over excited. Ride the clutch to minimise wheel-spin.

[Sydneykid]

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.

You sound like you have experience at that Sydneykid Has anyone tried different launch techniques on the track and seen what times they get? I've heard of people loading up against the handbrake but i've never tried it before.

[Cubes]

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.
