Heathcote 12/6/11

With 260awkw and a shitty clutch I finally managed a 12.2 @ ~110mph & 1.9 60footer - Man it was hard to launch out of the gates without bogging/frying clutch, but I finally managed a sub 13 Ash and got in DEEP!

Your car looked awesomely quick BTW - I don't think Heathcote was the place to get the full potential out of your car, at least we got shitloads of runs in!

12.2 in the end? FARK! Nice mate

Where did you find that whole second? :D

I ended up with 11.57 @ 121mph

1.78-1.90 60ft

I think the timing is farked @ Heathcote as my MPH was way down.

Will go to Calder in 2 weeks and find out the true story and hopefully get some better traction.

Hehe the MPH's were all over the shop. For me it showed 140mph on my 12.2 run BIG LOL, but judging by my previous runs I was averaging ~110mph.

I finally got the hang of how to launch the GTR - It really took me by surprise as I wasn't expecting anything quicker than 12.5. I backed up the 12.2 with two 12.4's straight after with 2.0 60ft. I think I shook her up when we had a heart to heart, I kept me end of the deal and she was driven gently on the ride home :laugh:

Would be good to test her out again @ Calder to compare, but I'm not sure if the clutch is up to the task - Still stinks now! Driver definitely need more work though :(

Thanks Anth, nice meeting you too mate! Yeah I reckon she's got a couple of more tenths in her to crack an 11 - Gotta get the 60ft down a tenth and I should be right :) Clutch is good for now, until next time haha

i didnt know you went to this, sounds like you got some quick times. ill have to take the evo down and see how that goes :D

ps. i thought you got a better clutch?

Yeah Scotty spur of the moment thing - Quick times in the end, shitty 13.6's to begin the day. This is my better clutch hahah, not sure if It's ideal for the way a GT-R is made to be driven!

well your fastest time was really good. maybe save and get a nismo twin plate clutch :thumbsup:.

already got the new exhaust at home for the evo but couldnt get the bolts off the cat :( also bought the same electronic boost controller as you that arrived just the other day.

    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
