Gtr Launch

[monga]

What RPM do you launch your GTR for the monster start

cheers dudes

[Slide]

What clutch do you have before you try?

[dead32]

i would launch as per how much traction i was expecting to get, i.e tripple plate clutch on full slicks at all 4's with say 300kw pretty dam hard lol, then again im not worried to break shit as im a mechanic so if u had stock clutch,tyres and power. no point doin a redline dump cause you'll break shit and prob slip somewhere along the line

5,500 on yoko a032r tyres, works pretty good. little bit of clutch slip from when the red light comes on until it goes off 3-5seconds. handbrake to hold the car. drop the handbrake and clutch, floor the throttle and off you go.

But it depends what sort of surface you mean too, that is for a circuit starting grid.

[SS8_Gohan]

what do you guys mean by 'slipping' the clutch?

[dead32]

bring it to the release point but dont release it enough so that the car mooves, hold it just b4 it will moove. *slip it*

[Duncan]

exactly.

just don't hold it like that too long you will overheat it and end up like skaife at bathurst.

BTW I should mention I have about 200rwkw

[gazza750]

for a great launch over the 1/4 mile bring it up to 7000 n dump the clutch

[hanyou]

i usually do a 6-7000rpm launch for the strip. os giken twin plate clutch.

[N I B]

8500 on the limiter is my thing and i love it and the cars still living with it.

I've got a fresh exedy twin plate 3k worth and around 430hp atm at 14psi havnt boosted the new engine and around 550hp on high boost soon, iv being launching at 7500rpm and finding smoke and sliding quite common hahaha

[monga]

That was my reply in my mates account,

I find launching at around 6k gets good traction and no slipping

You can significantly reduce shock on the drivetrain (gearbox, rear diff and driveshafts) by preloading using the handbrake.

As Duncan says, slip the clutch to the limit of what the handbrake can hold and then floor the throttle whilst releasing the handbrake. If you get the timing right, you are just finished releasing the handbrake when it's time to snatch second. I then like to get both hands on the wheel to help counter the impending torque steer.

Personally, when I launch my GTR from a measely 5000rpm on my way to a 2.1 60ft it is because:

1. I cant be stuffed fixing broken things anymore.

2. I find I am getting more and more mechanical sympathy (because of point 1.)

3. I'm not really into Drag racing and getting my time down to the last 10th of a sec dosnt really matter, people can basically work out what ET your GTR could acheive if you did a Hard launch anyway by looking at the 60ft time, ET, and MPH.

Mine runs a 12.6 @ 113mph with a 2.1 60ft.....its fairly obvious if I did a full limiter launch a 12.3 could be achieved.....So why wreck your own car trying

[sav man]

i launch mine with a 5500rpm clutch dump. I only ever launch it at the start of super sprints, can't be stuffed fixing stuff.

[benm]

1100rpm and like a grandma from now on...

[N1GTR]

6500rpm or there abouts seems to go pretty well

My Boss's Targa car launches at 7500 rpm. Twin plate clutch, 330+ rwkw.

Has Motec, so it's s simple procedure.....

Engage clutch, select first, plant right foot, when it sounds like there is gunfire behind you, disengage clutch as quickly as you can.

1.5 seconds later flat change into 2nd (gotta love flat shift control)

1.5 seconds later flat change into 3rd.

Grin like idiot, giggle like school girl.

Stop. Repeat.
