Victory at last!

I managed to launch twice cleanly without LC by stabbing the gas very quickly, revs shot up to 2850RPM and 2950RPM, let go of the brakes and got 3.9 sec both times! 0-20 m 2.254 and 100m 5.278 sec.

I then managed to rev to 3000RPM, let go of the brakes, revs shot up to 3200RPM and got a neat 4.0 sec. Lastly, stalled at 2500RPM and it went back to 4.4 sec.

So it seems that the launch "sweet spot" is somewhere between 2850 and 2950RPM.

Auto trans with 3 "R" settings. Shell-V-Power and K & N Filter back in.

If the revs don't go up to 2900-3000RPM immediately, there is no point waiting : the clutches just start slipping as the revs try to slowly creep up from 2000RPM.

Disengage back to neutral and try again by stomping on the gas very quickly.

Thanks for the advice mate!

I am glad to hear it! Still reckon there should be a 3.7 or 3.8 lurking there somewhere....

I recorded the following 0 - 100kph times using a GTech pro RR device (settings RRR):

Automatic mode with launch control 3.764 seconds -flat surface

Automatic mode with no launch control 3.900 - flat surface

Manual Mode with launch control 3.820 -flat surface

Manual mode without launch 4.064 - uphill

This is for an ADM, premium, 22 degrees.

Tests were conducted at the track.

When the HKS 570 kit and Cobb custom tune (Croydon racing developments) are installed next week, I will post the enhanced 0- 100kph numbers for comparison purposes.

NICE!!

Someone has to show me this method....I am getting bogged at 2,000revs.

Are you guys holding the brake pedal, stomping the gas and waiting for the revs to build, or are you one the brakes, stomp the gas and release just as the revs climb towards the 2,700 mark.

I just seem to have the car fighting the brakes, there is no progression past 2000 revs.

It is pretty tricky and does not work 100% of the time.It took me quite a few tries to figure out what the other guys were trying to explain.

1. Press the brake hard with your left foot and hold.

2. Stab the accelerator as fast as you can: the ECU reads that speed of the gas pedal movement to the floor. You should get 2800-3000RPM in 70% of attempts.

If you press the gas pedal just a bit slower, it may seem fast enough, but your revs will only climb to 2000-2200RPM and stall.

3. If you get the 2800-3000RPM at the first attempt, let go of the brake before the revs stall at the limit and hold on to the steering wheel! You should hopefully record 0-100 in under 4 sec.

If the engine stalls at around 2000-2200RPM, you won't get any lower than 4.1-4.3 sec. The 0.2-03 sec difference is in the first 20m.

Good luck.

On a similar note you're always at the mercy of the dealer playing with the tune.

Of note was my mates Typhoon last week that went in for the subwoofer to get fixed....they took it on themselves to reflash his ECU and wiped the tune that was on there, he went to pick it up and it was blowing smoke rings as the car had larger injectors, fuel pump etc etc.

All worked out in the end as on sale they had agreed to give a full 5 year FPV warranty on the modded rom and all accessories. They paid to get it retuned :blink:

White R35 GTR completely stock 0-100KMH 3.5SEC

The first second and a half after launch it feels like stretching an elastic band as the boost builds up and then all hell breaks loose. I am wondering if the brand new clutches need to bed in more because it feels very laggy from a dig, until a second or two after launch when it goes berserk.

i noticed this too on all the youtube vids ive been watching - there is this initial pause, the revs seem to rise up to 2000, pause there momentarily, then the car starts accelerating, very strange and only can assume its VDC cutting the power ?

my car only has 380km on the clock atm, but i will be giving it a shot once i get more kms on it

even after mod'd

4 days into ownership and i have ALOT to learn :)

care to fill me in, or point me to another thread

Made the leap to the R35 aye Sam? What are your thoughts on it? Be pretty keen to hear your impressions on it and real world running costs further down the track.

Gotta post pics up! Especially on e46.f!

Still got the 7/2?

I dunno about the JDM vs ADM 12psi vs 15psi thing.

Anyway here is a recent 0~100km/hr run in my ADM (four wheels spinning mind you) mods are catback + e85 tune

0-100.jpg

Good work mate, 3.16 is a truely epic time for such minimal mods. Next thing.... do you throw on some drag tyres on the car and risk stripping the box for a better time or is that a good enough 0-100 for you? Is there any info of the higher speeds?

Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
