geez they can launch for a stock car

and

I'd hate to be that 180 driver

Yeah it looked like he just stopped and watched the 35... i probly woulda done the same.

As for the launch, launch control built into the factory ECU sure does help.

LOL that 180SX got minced...

You know what someone really needs to do to one of these....

FIT A GOD DAMN EXHAUST TO THE THING!!!!!

I want to listen to the non restricted growls of these beasts of a motor :D

I wouldn't say that the R35 "launched hard" (have no idea what the 60ft time is) it just did what the ECU makes it do. If you want to see a GTR launch hard watch DirtGarage do a 10sec flat in his R32 GTR and you will see a front wheel lift off the ground, the back end squat and it just zooms off like nothing else.

The 180SX cooked the launch resulting in wheel spin followed by a bounce on the limiter, by then it was off boost and game over whilst grabbing 2nd gear, hardly a fair run.

I dont really think anyone is taking the 180's run seriously.

If you go down to the drags tonight in Perth for whoop ass Wednesday you will see a Black R35 GTR having a go and for the people who cant be their it is being filmed and I assume a movie with times will be on Youtube later tonight.

I will post the time when I find out as the person driving knows what he is doing so it should be good.

Don't those things have launch control and fully-automatic gear selection?

(that is, the driver's job is to press the loud pedal and steer between the lines?)

I'd have expected all of them to reel off basically the same time/trap in stock form...

yes. Thats true, but you get to choose. :rofl:

Oh and ummmm....Isnt the job of most pro draggers to "step on the loud pedal and steer between the lines"? :/

i was there and i saw this thing roll up to the line, f**k it was awesome, after its run everyone was like what the f**k was that thing, ppl were quing up in the pits the c it when it came back

lol, a confused look on a gaggle of flanno always brings a smile to my face :D

thats cool - how come then NIssan list "11.7s" as their time rather than lower..surely if Steve Jones hit that time, there must be professional nissan testers able to run quicker/similar times.

nissan lists it's 0 - 100 kmph as 3.6 seconds but some review had it done in 3.3 apparently with launch control or something on. will try find the vid...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
