Munched my First Clubsport


Recommended Posts

Guest Diabolik1

Well going home last night from the gf's house, i was going along Cumberland Hway towards Liverpool, i noticed a newish Clubsport going crazy behind me, and when catching up to me slowing down and just on and off the pedal next to me.

We stopped at the lights, and we both took off normally sorta booting it a little at around 40kms, and slowing down at 70ish.

Finally, we both stopped at the lights and we agreed upon having a little run...

I think this is the first time in the 4 months of driving my car that i did a perfect start (Brass Button Clutch was a bit hard to get used to) and by the second gear i was already pulling away. I slowed down at around 90 about 2 car lengths ahead of him, and slowed back down to the speed limit (70kms) and he just kept going. (prolly thinking he won)

I know street racing is stupid, and im proud to say ive only done it 2-3 times at 2-3am on straight roads, but im proud to have finally beaten a Clubsport with my R32.

Im pretty sure it was a VT, and it was an Auto (im not really a holden know it all). Anyone have any stories about Clubsports and their runs with them?

Congrats Goran... How did you feel? As dangerous as street racing may be, I love doing it! I guess there is a time and place for it all and 3am sounds about right. Bet he kept going to show off or something or to hide the fact that he got whipped!

Thanx all!!

It felt really really good :D

there was someone else in the car with him, but the dark tints of his couldnt tell me wether it was a girl or a guy, hope it was his gf, and she saw him lose, heheheh

Anyway, thanx again for your kind comments ya Clubby Munchers.

I can just see myself getting ****y and trying to race every single clubby i see, until one day i get my a55 whooped !

its all good anyway, if i lost, i wouldve waved a congrats :P

Hehehe....I bet he got the sh*ts because he lost so he kept speeding away so he wouldnt have to look like a d*ckhead!!!

hahaha..yeah they all do that...dont know why though.....

the other week, this Civic VtiR wanted to have a go at me...after 2 red lights i decided to humiliate him. Launched at 2500 and was already half a car in front...turned my head and grinned at him while his car started moving!!! slapped into 2nd and turned the indicators on!!! LOL!!!! after i backed off...he sped past me and never looked back! heheheh

Had a club sport do the same thing. We were going 60 and he's hammering it then backing off. Gave him a nod, put it into 2nd and that was the end of the story. At the lights he pulls up behind me rather than to my side.

Anyway, 180s have been a nightmare lately. Very embarassement!!

Naaa, I'd say he let you win :uh-huh:  :D  :P  :P

hehehe, doubt it, he actually weaved through traffic to pull up beside me and requested a run :uh-huh:

I've always thought hazards* were to indicate that you have won and they should go home with their tail between their legs :lol:

* = during a race not when car is on the side of the road :P

I hate it when people lose and they think they can redeem themselves by hitting the highest top speed after it's all done.

They're probably trying to beat the next set of lights so they don't have to look at you :P

Don't you normally show you've won by taking their lane? (and of course, indicating)

    • Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.
    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
