Wat is the best way to do a quick launch on a r33 gts-t.

I dump the clutch on 3000-4000 and it is wheel spin city!

The best I can do is rev to about 2300-2500 and put the clutch half way and then rev it to 3000-3500 and full engage it and it is quite good not much wheel spin.

Any suggestions?

Getting a quick launch has more to do with having decent tyres then anything else me thinks...traction is most important.

But, since you're asking, I personally find that launching around 3000 rpm and then gradually 'feathering' the clutch out usually works best for me. Mind you, I only have a set of fairly crappy tyres on the car at the moment...

Each racer does it differently. basically you want to launch with the highest possible RPM while avoiding more than 10% wheelspin. You start somewhere (say 5000 RPM) and vary it by 250 RPM increments, examining your 60' time to see what works best.

There is no reason your car wont 1.75 sixty, but as already mentioned your wasting your time trying on any lesser tyre than MT street radials. If your slipping the clutch, your not getting 100% drive therefore your times will be slower. 5500-6000 on MTs, if it turns them, come down 500.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
