u gotta slip it in a gtst

Whatever works, sometimes slipping the clutch doesn't help when you got next to no power like mine, the tyres should do some work even if its only 205 worth.

My tip: don't rev the shite outa your engine and you will launch ok with lower pressure in the rear tyres.

Vspec, see what rev your car juuuust bogs down on if you on the street with a sidestep. It probably won't bog down on the strip at this rev. Feed the accellerator as quickly as you can, without bogging it.

Rev210,

Thanks for the tips. Are you coming down on Wednesday, as I'm sure I could use some expert advice? It bogs down at around 3000rpm, but this is with the shitty 265's on the back. I'm bringing some brand new 255's if I can't get good traction.

I'm taking a trolley jack and hopefully a small compressor to change tyre pressure, to see if it has any affect. I'm only going to run BP Ultimate with octane booster, I'm planning on using some VP Motorsport Fuel at a later date once I get used to the launching.

See'ya:burnout:

Hey Hicks,

My mate said that skylines will tend to go considerably faster when the clutch is just starting to slip.

Ha ha, Bullshit, paul!!

Untill you get your 13.6 or lower, my car is faster. :lol:

Dude would like to have another go but, I'm down south with the family on holiday.

Just remember to have fun, and make sure you beat the guy next to you, its the best part for the adrenalin. Race some of the other skyline guys in a grudge match. Tell the stewards you want to do this and they will fit you both in.:P

Hicks,

No offence taken dude, I agree totally!!!!!:P

But in my defence I never put the tyres down, had crappy tyres that spun in 1st, 2nd and 3rd and had 2 x 12" subs, 2 amps and spare tyre in the boot!!!!;):D (I know most of you have the same and run faster times but that's not important:lol: )

Had some fun in the R last night, tried my first 6k launch, chopped a new WRX and some flashy little turbo car (hatch with full kit, 5 in 1 paint job etc...

I didn't realise how fast the R was until I actually ran someone, can't wait for more power !!!!!!;) ;)

Anyone else think I might hit the speed cut before the end of the 1/4 tomorrow night?? I have no idea of terminal speeds I'll get...

Kym,

The best I could ever manage with the GTS was a 14.5...   That was with full exhaust,  pod, Power FC and 0.8bar.   Crap driver was the cause I think..   So I thought F*&K it and got a GTR,  now it's just 7000rpm and go!!!  ha ha ha ha   13 seconds here I come...

Brett

Would expect a 13 flat or high 12s if your running a bit more boost than standard.

ya prick!:bahaha:

Macka,

It's still running standard boost, so I'm guessing (and only guessing) that a mid 13 might be possible as is, hopefully with the power fc, cam gears and 1 bar 12's should be gotten (as long as I can learn to drive it properly)....

I'd say we would have a good run, a 12.8 is damn fast for a gtst!!! You must have some crazy mid range power!!!!

You going tomorrow night????

You should do better than 13.5 if your not a nasty driver!

stock everything? new exhaust = a bit more boost

12.98 a 12.8 would of been a bit more solid in the 12's but theres always next time.

I dont have much mid range that all disappeared when i backed the timing off, its all top end now which makes it a bit of a bugger around town altho boost comes on early so its not too bad.

I may come down on wed to watch but thats about it im afraid!!

Macka,

Yeah true with the full zorst I'll be running a bit more boost than standard, guess I'll just wait and see what time's I get...

Deesh,

I never underestimate the 180's, a few mates have them and god damn even stock they hammer.. But I'll give you a go..:P

Adam,

Yeah a 12 is bragging rights, but a 12 in a gtst is better than a 12 in a gtr right!!!! SOOO I guess I'll have to aim for 11's then!!! ha ha ha ha ha.

I thought GTR's do high 12's standard ? This is what i'm told by people i know who pull themselves over these (sorry for offending) king of the road GTR's ?

pisnnissn??,

Yeah, alot of mags claim that the factory GTR's can do high 12's, and it probably is possible, but add the normal driver to the equation and mid to low 13's are more likely. Make some minor mods and 12's no problem.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
