he doesnt just do VLs either

i would seriously recommend him

da guy knows what his on about and his a nice guy to get along with never bullshits with u and never ****s u around...

very professional at what he does..

ive seen R33s 180s silvias 200sx a his work shop before and all happy customers as well..

but yeh.. i guess that sort of stuff is all personal choose anyway

What has that got to so with what i said?

r31 nismoid

u ever been in a car quicker then a 12 sec pass?

Yeah, i can most certainly say i have. On more than one occasion too.

And if it wasnt for a sticky set of tyres on the rear end (read:not street legal tyres)

Then the ride would have been full fo wheelspin and utterly boring as any car can smoke a set or treads.

Dont get me wrong, i just see no value in a car that you cant drive to it's fullest without using slicks, or sitting at the start line at the drags for 3-4second spooling your turbo, where-by means even if you ran a 10, you'd have been hosed anyhow by a 12 sec car.

This may seem like a stupid question - but indulge me...

Why do the VLs 'spool' at the start line?  

Or, more to the point, why do they take so long to 'spool'?

To get the power up on the stall converter so they leave the line with as much power/boost as possible.

Or by using a transbrake which has a similar principle.

If they didnt sit there for so long, and just went like every other car, then they'd be running nowhere near the times they do.

Hence why if i can go at the green in my car with no spooling, run a 12...

A VL sits there for 3-4 seconds after the green spooling... runs a 10

Then technically (in my eyes) no matter how fast it went... i would still be at the finish line before it :aroused: and hence the winner of a drag.

But everytime i say that it kicks up a stink, so im sitting back, waiting for the stink :cheers:

Coz they run big bush bearing turbos, high stall autos and transbrakes. They need to sit on the line to get onto boost, onto their highstall and then they release the transbrake and take off. If u were to take off like a normal car, the car would spit and fart and not do to much

They can spool up long before the light go's green and just release the transbrake on the green, but often on test and tune days they dont bother and just spool up and check gauges etc.

Doesnt matter who crosses the line first imho, its a race against technical barriers and the time on the slip.

INASNT.. do me a favour man

go home tonite...

rent ur self 2 fast 2 furious.. get out ur bottle of lube...

and pretend ur a hardcore street racer...

and dont talk no more.. cause ur just a dick head..

obvioulsy u never been in a quick VL if u think it really takes us 3 minutes to start spooling.. at calder.. we usually let the ricer take of b4 we even start spooling we then hit da trans break or stally what ever they got.. get it to da right about of boost.. make sure were making as much power as we possibly can to take off with..

so really.. if you dont know what ur talking about.. just go watch ur movies.. and then jump in ur 14 sec car and take cnrs ok

...

thanks

so im not starting an argument with u

cause im only gonna get banned again and i cbf creating a new account

It seems you've got a REALLY short memory...

Enjoy making your new account :thumbsup:

Oh, and just a tip, next time you and your full sik bro's are at calder, just get out your stopwatch and see just how long they sit there after the green.

I think you'll be pleasantly amazed.

who the hell are you man, i've never heard so much crap in my life, if you wanna spend about a hundred grand on traumatics and trans brakes and stall converters and 9 inch diffs and ladder bars and then have someone drive your car around on a trailer go ahead, what a waste, you obviously don't understand the dynamics of a skyline when you drive a boat with wheels, VL commondores are the worst handling of all, they were designed to have a bench seat in the front so they were all given really soft spongy front springs then the bench seat was canned but they still got floaty boat suspension, have fun at calder dickhead, enjoy the drive their on the back of a trailer, i'd rather drive mine there do a high 11 and drive home and only spend about 30 grand to have a quick daily driver instead of a trailer bound strip basher.

Happy driving dumbass

    • 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.
