Thanks buddy....

I got a set of semi slicks last night so ill be heating those babies up!!!

Any tips??

I dont know, i havent ran mine yet those RA1's.

Give it plenty of revs, ease out the clutch and then slam those gears. I wanna see a 12.

Id love to see a 12... i know the car is capable, it will just be the driver that isnt!!!

Didnt have a very good night at all....

Ran a 13.8 best time and had about 12 runs!!

As stupid as it sounds i must have been backing off before the end because mid track i was really moving but by the end the numbers just didnt work out...

I ran another R33 a few times, only mods he had were exhaust, cooler, safc and .8 bar boost... pulling 190rwkw!

It was good to compare, here was one of our runs:

Me:

60ft 2.375

660ft? 85.41

Et 13.813

Mph 105.38

Him:

60 Ft 2.436

660ft? 78.35

Et 14.157

MPH 105.55

As you can see I had a better 660 ft? or 1000ft time not sure which one it was but he had a better ET.... it doesnt make sence...

That was a bad run for me, i had a best of 2.1 60ft and 660 or 1000 ft of about 87mph but the Et was never under 13.8 sec??

Any suggestions? I think im going to have to go down again soon and this time keep the power down after the time posts and beyond!

The car seemed drive fine and pull really hard... mid track it was really moving compared to other R33's....

Any help is appreciated guys..

Cheers

It was my first time and by the time i realised i may be backing off short it started to rain... so i guess i wont know till i run again which will be soon!!! but im positive i could see the time flash before i backed off...

Then again i didnt keep an eye on the boost guage so who knows, it may have been a boost problem!

Anyway, ill have to wait and see on the next Calder trip!

With 105mph, it doesnt seem like you were backing off. 105 is good for very low 13s or high 12s...

60ft time seems to be your problem considering you were using slicks. Practice your launches :D

105 isnt bad but i was running another R33 GTST with stuff all mods and he was getting higher ET's... the figures dont add up as he only has 190rwkw and i have 244 rwkw!! surely my ET would blow him away even with a worse 60ft time... i also had a better 60ft time and got a 13.8 where he go a 14.1 and his MPH was still better!

Mid track my Speed way quite a bit higher than his and by the end he was just faster than me... so there is either something wrong with the car or i was backing off becasue i was redlining every gear....

I would have expected a mid 12 with a good 60ft and at least a 110mph pass...

It was my first time and was great fun so im going to head down soon to get me that 12 and learn how to launch her!

Definately you where backing off with 85mph half track, my best was 89mph half track and i finished with 113mph. I've done it before as it doesnt really show you where the finish line is as there are 3 sets of lights.

Might head down with you if you wait a few weeks and im planning on a real low 12 or even possible 11

yeah somethings not right seeing as my gfs soarer with nothing but a catback and pod ran a 13.8 and my R32 with stock cooler, stock engine and just 14psi, ecu tune and exhaust ran a flat 14... all with crappy street tyres.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
