Just A Quick Question.

[DNR33]

Hi all.

I have just fitted a pair of MT drag radials to the rear of my r33.

I was just wondering whats the best way of going about launching on the drag strip with semis. I currently have 255rwkw. The Drag radials are 275/40/17.

Save me a few runs of figureing it out.

Let me know what you guys found that works and experiences you have had.

Thanks guys.

Think you'll still need to find out how your car reacts to different things so you'll still have to figure it out urself.

You can do the 'set rpm' launch..... pick a rpm level and drop clutch, or if you've got loads of traction a couple of big free revs and launch it at 7500rpm should do the trick

Do a reasonable burnout to get the tyres up to temp also.

I used full MT drag radials, it too had 250rwkw, at the time.

Huge burnout first. Just start in 2nd gear as tyres will be wet and cold, so traction will me minimal at the start of the burnout.

Then i waited till lights went green, reved it to 6000rpm (took my time), then once i felt comfortable just dropped the clutch. The g's where farken awesome . Time only starts once the front wheel move. I didn't like the idea of staging my car at 6000rpm, while the guy took his time to press the button for the lights.

Setting the right tyre pressure is the tricky part.

Al what kind of 60ft's were you getting?
