im guna get flamed for this.... bring it on i guess.....

what are the chances of a 500hp r33 gtst, using stock box and diff, to run slicks and not break anything? im not talking a soft launch, im talking , front wheels reaching for the sky 8500rpm clutch ripping type of launch...

i have a set of michellin slicks and mt front runners, and i really want to improve my launches, and ive notice alot of hipo skylines do a rev limitting launch... i know it isnt healthy to do this, but will this much force shear a standard drivetrain? any people had experience with this? any and any reccomended slicks??? PLEASE HELP!!!

go to www.wild1motorsport.com

and view my skyline

my advice is get a gtr diff cradle

and good suspension

such as HKS

rev to 8000 and drop the clutch

the clips on the site are with MT street tyres

i have the slick pass which i ran 10.8 on my computer which is ready for uploadinng and will be uploaded this week

500hp, slicks, preped drag strip? Rev Limit launch, standard driveline = something broken.

That is my "expert opinion".

So true………

MT ET Street radials + 320 bhp + good suspension + 6,000 rpm launch = broken clutch

WSID 10/5/06

;) cheers :D

What car is this?

Our white R33GTST project car, sort of a replacement for the R34GTT daily driver I had a couple of years ago. Bought it cheap a few months ago, needed rego and SOME work, it's getting there. So far it has a Power FC with Boost Control Kit, standard R32GTR intercooler, alloy 120 degree pipework, Bilstein and Whiteline suspension, GTRGeoff HICAS eliminator, Magic cat, Nismo FPR, GTR fuel pump and a quick and dirty road tune by me using the Tech Edge A/F ratio meter.

Following the clutch failure at WSID, right now it is getting a new clutch, lightened flywheel and serviced gearbox (no synchro on 4th and 5th). Plus I had to drive it home clutchless (testing my dog box rpm matching skills). We just wanted to get a base time on the standard turbo, but too much traction from the MT ET’s for the unknown clutch.

A GCG ball bearing high flow is ready to go on shortly with a Performance Metalcraft split dump, followed by a set of injectors and a pair of 256 Tomei Poncams. Looking for around 265 rwkw and a mid 11's 1/4 at around 125 mph. Before then it will get some new DBA slotted rotors, a set of Hawke pads and a timing belt change.

Plenty to do, no time to do it in.

;) cheers :D

cool, thats fairly similar spec to my car actually

you think a Auto gearbox with valvebody, shift kit, and transcooler would be fine if I used Mickey Thompson Street ET? considering stock torque converter is arround 2000rpm only and not 6000rpm dump the clutch launch ehehhe

Hi, as you increase the engine torque output you will find the torque converted stalls at a higher rpm. For example I can get the Stagea up to 2,500 rpm on the standard turbo which gives 11psi at launch. This generates considerable heat, so make sure that you have a decent transmission cooler.

If you can spin the wheels now, then decent tyres will help. I like the MT Street radials as I don’t have to change front tyres and the guys are down to low 10’s using them, so they obviously work OK.

:P Cheers :)

Hey SK thanks for the advice, I have a oil temp gauge hooked up to my transmission cooler to monitor temps.

But my engine is a RB30 with HKS2535 so it boost pretty early

Plan to stall it on the line and launch as hard as I can with MT Street ET

My street tyres are Bridgestones RE01 and its very easy to spin them on first gear

5500rpm launch on MT ET Street Radials. Clean sheared the CV Shaft in half. 6500rpm and the bearing cage explodes. Big.

I only make 355hp @ the tyres (approx 410 engine hp).

Adrian

f**k me man, u would have thought the clutch or box would go 1st, not the driveshafts.... good job!!!

whats with this jimm berry clutch your talking about, who deals with them? are they really as good as you seem to think?

I think Jim Berry is in Brisbane, Aaron at Wayne Park Automotive organised a clutch through him for me and he knows Jim quite well... Clutch is a single plate with about 2800 pounds clamp pressure std is about 1800. I hear people talking about 4000 pounds, but so far so good with 2800. have launched the car countless times and never a problem, just dial up about 6500 and let it out quiclky and all four light up on the std gtr 16's. 18's now fitted but yet to launch it with the increased traction.. nice smooth easy clutch to operate...

Jim Berry is the name of the owner/guy who makes custom clutches for all types of applications. He swears by a big single even for 800hp+ drag cars (subzero soarer, millenium motorsport supra)

he hates twin plates with a passion, so dont even ask him what he thinks of them >_<

also he is quite 'cheap', bout half of what youd pay for a jap twin plate :D

Hi Adrain, I keep telling you it's not the max power thats' the problem. :D:no:

It's the NOS making the axles brittle. :P:D

:D cheers :D

SK

Don't forget the Bass Junky Air Deflector ;)

I wouldn't know, I don't have one :D

:D cheers :D

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
