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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
