Always 'dump the clutch'.

Feed the throttle as you take off. I start from 3500rpm and have the throttle squeezed to 3/4 by the time the clutch has engaged and within the moment of moving off the line I have full throttle (bout 1/2 second).

I did bunch of 13.5's to go with my 13.4 last time and all around 2.1 60ft.

Hmmm

Drag Wars was my first ever effort down the quarter so I suppose it wasnt too bad... My best time of the night which I got a couple of times was 14.1 at about 165k's .... I would have liked to have broken the 13's but I think that a bit of practise is required to do that.... I.E more driver error than car can't perform...

All in all not a bad night....

I never got to see the C-Red car as everytime it run I was drving back to the staging area.... :P

Ok.... My fastest run of the night had these stats :)

Time: 14.108

Top Speed: 165.5 kph

Reaction Time: 1.2 Secs ( later in the night got this down to about 0.6 secs )

60' - 2.35 sec

330' - 6.2

660' - 9.29 sec at 129.93 kph

1000' 11.90

Thanks

Brett

Yeah I think if I get everything right in the one run I should crack the 13's.... I think my problem was trying to get evertything together.... For example one Time I would launch bad but really pickup well from 2 onwards then the next run I would launch really well and then slightly miss a gear or something like that...

I guess that all comes with practise though.... :)

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
