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.

See'ya:burnout:

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:

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      R34 Manual conversion Speedometer

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?

      Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone in Melbourne (preferably West) has a non-S2 R34 front bar. If it's already off the car, even better!  Nothing too weird, I just need to get a cut-out of the hole that the front indicators clip into 🤣 (image attached for reference)   I've got a front bar from JSAI Aero, but those holes need to be cut myself, and I want to get it right so the indicators will clip securely. And my OEM bumper is a S2, so I have no reference. So looking for a member who might be able to spare me a few minutes to make a cardboard cut-out using your front bar.
