plex 15th

[Guest Rhino]

I changed to 4th on the last run but to be honest the mph and ET was pretty much identical to comparable runs earlier in the night.

As long as you dont shift like a person without arms it isnt going to adversly affect you times whether or not u shift to 4th. I think the gearing must compensate for the time lost shifting gears?

Hey fairs fair.,..

How did the others go?

you were getting low 13s before what have you done?

If u say exhaust boost im going to slash your tyres hehe

Hi Guys,

All Rhino did was remove the restrictor for the boost. The thing hammered, it was very impressive to watch, and on a relatively stock car. Hat's off, he showed that the 6's aren't slow after all.

RB20LagWagon ended up with a 13.03, never quite managing to break into the 12's but very close. He was consistantly in the flat 13's, but his clutch smells like it's on it way out.

rev210 I think got a 13.4, he did remove the shit out of his car though, about 200kg. I think this is a very impressive time for a stock turbo, well done. nice to finally meet you.

As for me, well it was a huge improvement from last week. I was consistantly in the 13's, nice for a change and ended up with a best of 13.5@104mph. I finally learnt how to launch my car and how to get some decent speed out of it. Still could go a few tenths faster, but the clutch took a hammering so I might give it a holiday for a week or two.

All in all a very good night, with most people pulling PB's.

See'ya :burnout:

[RB20LagWagon]

3 passes of 13.0xx

2 passes with 2.0xx 60 footers

0 12.xx passes, damnit.

oh well there is always next week, hopefully.

RB20LagWagon,

So close yet so far. I doubt your clutch will take too much more punishment, might be worth a rebuild. Nice runs all the same, very consistant, and all that is needed is to string the 2.0 60' times with crisp gear changes.

And thus endeth the lesson on why people buy GTR's instead of spending more on a GTS-T.

Said it once and will say it again . For reliability , price and resale value , it's hard to go past a 32R. If ya wanta faster car, buy one the manufacturer made.

Cheers

13.4 was my best for the night. With a bunch of 13.5's following. A pretty good effort for my second trip down the plex. I did take about 100kgs of work gear out of the boot (thanks Miko for looking after it), but there was more weight in my back seat than my last trip down and more fuel, so I needed the help.

The elusive 2.1 60ft was reached again on a run where I stuffed up, namely on the change to second. More practice and I'll get it one day.

So the new stock ecu/stock cooler/stock turbo title is MINE!

[Guest KILLER-T]

Well done Rhino 12.4 i bet you r still grinning good stuff mate :eek:

anyone going next week

[ix9]

rev210. I'm impressed!

13.4 stock ecu/turbo/cooler.... I wanna be just like you!(running in the 13s with mostly stock stuff i mean)

p.s. you got a list of mods somewhere?

Paul, Same with you buddy, what mods have you got ?

Ryan, 12.4!!!!!!!!! On your first run! *expletive deleted* 'NICE!

[ix9]

oh, btw, my mate in a 180sx (auto) previous PB was 15.4'ish, consistant mid-15s before that, recently bought.

POD filter, Catback exhaust, bleed valve(11psi'ish) and some lowered suspension, total outlay of $1700'ish...

and ran a 14.80 (not bad for a mild-modded AUTO eh?)

[macka]

Good work everyone

The track must of been prepped way better from last saturdays international meet.. Everyones times got better.. quite substantionaly.

I dont want an 11 year old car that i have to replace two of everything with no insurance....just because i want to go a little better off the line...

[Guest Works Auto]

Just reading a post from before , that blue rx3 is EZY9's not try9

Also good work Ryan those launches looked awesome. 12.4 gotta be happy with that.

I think suan got 13flat in his r31 but i went home early so i dunno if he got into the 12's.

I agree. Just because we actually have some skill to launch a rear wheel drive car off the line.

Take away gtr launch and you'll find we are right there next to the GTR's

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I do think the track was better than usual, which may have led to the better times, but still quite an impressive effort all round.

gtrken, I was very impressed with a reasonably stock R32 pulling 12.4, if they weren't such a ugly car then I'd buy one. Flame on.:bahaha:

Macka, You should have come, I'm sure you would have got a legal 12 this time.

See'ya:burnout:

[Guest Works Auto]

Mmmmm looked like the track was quicker last night. I might go next week . I need a catch can ASAP.

R32 GTR an ugly car ?? i think its alot better looking than a r33 gts-t :shake: :shake: :shake:

[macka]

Were everyones 60footers better?

I so need some help there!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Works Auto,

Only reason it looks good to you is that you have an R32 GTS-t which is even uglier than the GTR, just joking.

One of the guys last night managed to drop shitloads of oil from his catch-can in the lanes, I don't think it was setup right, I think it was actually drawing oil throught the can rather than vapor.

See'ya:burnout:

[rev210]

Track wasn't that great IMHO. I'd say it has more to do with people getting the hang of things. There were quite a number of guys I spoke to who were miles away from their PB that night.

Gts-vspec : how many 2.4sec + 60ft times do you need to run before you say the track was not very good!(If it was I wouldn't have had as many almost 3 second 60ft times),

No.

I got one 2.1 60ft and one 2.2 the rest were all 2.4s and much worse. And as usual the 2.1 I stuffed up. Well I guess I do pretty good with only cheap'o 205's on the back.
