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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
