wrxhoon,

   Nice time, I think with the clutch you should bed down a flat 12. I will be there once I get my clutch in. What tyres did you run?

Yea i should be able to run a flat 12 or even a high 11 with a good clutch , i will be looking for a Nismo twin plate i think .

Toyo 265x35x18 in the stock 18x9 rims and full street pressure ( 38 psi ) . traction wasn't a problem , the clutch wouldn't grab at any amount of rpm , i even went down to 2500 for a 2.37 60 ft .

What kind of clutch are you going for ?

Jerry have you listed your mods so far on the M-Spec? Nice time with the stock clutch. Mine is slipping at high rpm launches as well but i figured that was expected with 70k kms done on it.

I'm heading to Japan (tommorrow) to load up two suitcases with stuff. Here's praying customs dont notice.

My clutch was holding 100% on road and while tuned , its just when you sidestep @ 5000 + to much heat in to it and then it would kepp slipping especialy on gear changes . On my last run i only used about 4500 ( not enough realy for a clean launch ) and that was my best run .

Mods are as i told you before , gtss's , p f/c , 550 cc Nismo injectors , hard i/c pipping , ( stock i/c ) pod filters ,( for now , still looking for a stock airbox ) ebc ( 1.2 bar) , hks front pipes ,( stock dumps , they are s/s on the 34 ) 3" catback ( very quiet )and thats about it . Its a very responsive car with that set up .

How long are you in Japan for ? good luck with the shopping list .

Check your p.m

I was out there watching as per normal.

Some people just don't get it. There must have been atleast 15 different cars that had no idea how to stage!! It just holds up the whole night.

Highlight of the night was the dark red s14 throwing a good burnout all the way up to the staging line and then hitting the starter when he came over to tell him off.

Good to see some r32 gtst's out.

The inability to stage thing really pisses me off. It shows that they clearly have either never been to WSID to watch others race, or they have watched but failed to pay any attention.

That red S14 thing was quite funny. Yay lets stand directly infront of a car that's doing a burnout to teach him a lesson, oh shit he ran into me. Quite suprised the driver didn't get out and give him a mouthful. It was only about 15mins earlier the announcers said over the PA "Do not do a burnout across the line, we don't care how big your burnout is before the line but don't go over it".

From what I could see he hadn't passed the line yet :D

Yes that's right.

As you approach the line you will see on either side of your lane (the red painted bit) a narrow white line (which is actually about 20-30cm wide I believe). Slowly moving in will initiate the first 'pre-stage' light, moving forward a few cm again will initiate the 2nd light (you are now ready to race).

If you happen to roll too far forward and the 1st 'pre-stage' light goes out but the 2nd staging light stays on don't panic just stay where you are. It just means that you can't move forward anymore otherwise you will breakout (red light = disqualified).

Many people make the mistake of quickly trying to reverse back and then drive forward again into stage however before they can do that the 'starter' has already started the staging sequence and you'll screw up your run and timing.

Their is 0.4sec between each of the yellow/amber lights before the green lights up. I usually release the clutch when I seen the 2nd (of 4) amber lights 'go out'. From this I was getting consistent 0.1-0.2sec reaction times (which don't effect your time on wednesday nights but it's the easiest way to beat any car you are racing against).

yep,i done that. practise makes perfect i guess.

ill be getting there at 5pm next time,way too many cars.

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
