Ran My R33 Gtst @ Calder On Friday Night


Recommended Posts

hey guys,

i took my skyline upto calder park for the first time on friday night

i ran a 13.9@100mph, my list of mods is turbotech boost controller (set to 10psi), apexi pod filter, apexi safc (not tuned at all everythng set to 0), and a 3" cat back exhaust

im suffering from a slightly slipping clutch but i was very impressed with the times my slowest being a 14.2, all the rest were flat 14's about 3 passes at 13.9

Nice work. Little bit nerve racking lining up the first time?

I did my first run on a drag strip last night. PB was a 13.845 @ 103.44mph.

Had a few traction problems along the way. Just couldn't get the launch right.

Best reaction time was a 0.045 which I was very happy with ;)

Might let the rear tyres down a bit next time round and see if I can get some more traction.

i find it better to just roll off the line, and push the clutch in and dump the throttle, and smash the clutch... it seems more effective... need a big burnout and under inflated tyres tho, works gud

Nice work mate

i was planning on having a crack the other week but the lil ol Rb20 went pop b4 i got a chance :P

So now im back to square one and not 100% sure if i want to build a forged 20 or a hybrid 25 with my turbo and running gear instead!!!!

Cheers GMB

Mate congrats...yuor first time out and you are doing quicker 60ft times then me and i had semi slicks on :bunny:

...and whats wrong with sayign the clutch was slipping if it was?

Drag racers are a funny bunch...heaven forbid they post the whole story, not liek the ppl running 11s in a std car that only cost them $1500 to build, its just that their driving makes the difference (Not directed at anyone in particular, but drag racers seem to ride each other pretty hard ) :D:):)

exactly what wrong with saying it was slipping if it really was, im not using it as an excuse for running a slow time, i was extremly impressed with my times considering my clutch is stuffed.

what times are other people running with similar mods to mine?

No im impressed man.

And im not easily impressed. Look !!! A blue car!!!!! hahahahah

Nah, sounds on the money to me. Id imagine that is quite quick considering the mods. Ive never had mine down a strip, but i would of guessed youd run a 14 flat with mods so good on ya.

thats really good dude

i ran only 14.2 at calder a couple of months back!

with 3" catback, front mount, pod, running 10psi with gfb bleed vavle

on 18's aswell and an Xtreme button clutch

so thats really good.. allthough i seemed to get a better top speed then you as i pulled a 14.2 @ 101mph ... i dont know why if you got a better time.. i think my launches were really lacking? :bunny:

what sort of launch teqniques were you trying.. i tried everything from dump to slow ride outs

Hey guys

I went out the other week and ran a 13.624 @ 102.975 mph with a 60ft of 2.098

I have a pod, a 3 inch turbo back exhaust and a turbosmart bleed valve.

I think im running quite good times considering my mods.

How do you know your clutch is slipping?

When a clutch slips you can tell. Revs go up, speed stays the same....

im starting to get very bad clutch slip, in third gear it slips from the time it gets onto boost till it hits redline.

Spewing. Gotta change THAT now too!

Excellent result mate - very well done!

I agree.

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
