What tyres were you running and size, pressure???

I think you would run lower 12's if you decrease your 60 foot by a bit. Also I hope they did not let you run the water sprayers on while you did the run...that is just stupid!!!

And I am guessing that was with a bit of wheelspin considering the torque that engine must produce

Standard Nankang street tyres on my mags 235/40/18 with 20psi pressure - The water sprayers were on - they dont leak onto the ground - very small misting nozzles from the states - got them from a guy on this forum actually.

The run where i got a 12.9 was NO wheel spin. got a good launch - Clutch slip launch

18's??

try it again with a set of 16's and 225's with 20psi air in them.

I'm sure you could get it better..

hmmm..

in my S14 I was launching at 4000-4300rpm and that was best for me with heavy'ish 17x9's and 255's.

anything below 4000rpm and it would bog, even with slipping the clutch..

anything above 4300rpm would require backing off to get traction.

I raced, my first run was my new PB (not by much tho, down from a 14.145 @ 102mph). The next 2 runs were sloppy so I parked it for abit to watch all the PAC Rotory cars and heaps of other cars. Next think I know it's 10pm and i'm driving out the exit gate

14.009 @ 102.07 / 2.089sec

I also managed a 0.035 R/Time too which is my PB.

I was in full street trim (minus my subwoofer). Tyres (225/50/16) were still at 38psi too but I need some Nitto's now :/

I'd say without a doubt the best nites racing in a good 3mths or more... can't wait until it's winter again !! I'm still far from happy with my times but i'm still improving each week so i'll be back again.

  • 4 weeks later...

finally got to to to the street meet for the first time!! it was a good experience but disappointing! I had only 2 runs before the rain. first run i got bogged a little and my clutch not holding as well, and only managed 13.69s @ 108.7mph & 0-60ft 2.4s!!! well my second run i tried to launch at higher rpm (5500rpm) and riding the clutch but then my clutch (pressure plate) just gave up and got stuck half way! :cheers: getting my clutch replace this Saturday!!

will be back when i run in my new clutch!!

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
