Sorry Hicks I'd already posted on the other thread "Wednesday Night Drags". Well for my first go it wasn't too bad but my launch is embarrassing, even V8's took off harder than me, so there's plenty of room for improvement and enough horsepower to get the mid-13's, I'll be there next Wednesday, hope you can make it with your new clutch Hicks.

Best time 13.9, best top speed 170km/hr, best 60' 2.3 (which is shit) and we wont even discuss my reaction time, I must have been asleep on some runs.

But it was great fun and I'm hanging out to improve my times.

See'ya:burnout:

You've got a pretty nice terminal speed though, your just loosing it at the start. But 2.3 60ft isn't that bad, my first 13.8 i had a speed of 2.1, but my 13.7 was a 2.3. And that was during the day!! I think that the track was really grippy though due to the heat.

Yeah, everyone keeps telling me, but when I get the stage lights I'm too busy trying to get my revs right that by the time I look up I see it's turned green, then I nail it and loose traction. I think towards the end I was starting to feel more comfortable, it was also cooler, and beginning to get my shit together.

It certainly doesn't look hard as a spectator, but driving is a bit more difficult. I think next week I'll be better prepared and my times should drop, with luck.

Thanks for the tips though.

Steve,

I don't think Wolf has launch control planned, but they are bringing out a firmware update for Anti-lag, so I think the Autronic SM2 is the only one I know with launch control. I have traction control on my car, but I leave this disabled as you end up going slower.

I don't think I need the launch control, I just need more practice. I was also getting alot of diff bounce, so I will try the pineapples to see if that can improve the launch.

See'ya:burnout:

    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
