Why am I so bad at launching - Vids

[benm]

... that's what I was thinking.

[2rismo]

He wasn't hazarding a guess Roy, he was posing about something he can't back up. I'm not getting defensive matey. I don't talk about shit I haven't done yet like it's easy.

I don't talk about shit I haven't done yet like it's easy.

But it is easy, sh1t, whats so complicated about 3 gear chages.... (runs ands hides before i take a prodigous beating)

[2rismo]

GRRRRRrrrrrrrr.....

You'll keep.

Adrian

[whatsisname]

~1320ft in a straight line, how hard can it be? Harder than it bloody looks - well the first 60ft certainly is.

[Cubes]

Matt,

How are your gear changes now?

I remember you saying a while back (216rwkw) that you grannyshift a little.

[Roy]

GRRRRRrrrrrrrr.....

Adrian

lol... i wont go near the track as ppl keep telling me ill run 11s, but i know for a fact ill be lucky to crack a low 13s...say hello to the space cadet behind the wheel and pedals

Im trying to get a 2 stage rev limiter for my car, so i can cheat when trying to get the thing to launch properly...and yeh i have read the thoughts of others on this, but its my car, my coin, and the engineering of getting something like this set up and working well appeals to me more then the pedal work involved....

So what was that about the launch controller you were using?

Hmmm... I probably shift a little more like a mid to late 40yr old mum now, certainly not MILF quality either

But seriously, I still shift a tad softly. Any drag meet that I get to 'drive' the car home from is a good one!

[robert112]

just like I'm "assuming" I can do better... You're "assuming" I can't.

It sux eh, you gotta drive it like you hate it but for some of us we don't hate them and can't bare to treat it like that.

You got it in one Ben.

[Cubes]

At $1500 a pop I wouldn't be driving mine like I hate it either.

My poor ol RB20t gearbox has been on its last legs for quite some time now, its just waiting for something to push it over the edge.

I have just the thing

[2rismo]

Listen matey, I've done what I talk about. Have you? Let your timeslips do the talking.

Roy, IanH uses the Power FC Pro in his GTT. It has launch control built in. You can hold the pedal flat and it will only rev to the pre-set level.

Adrian

[Roy]

ah crap.... you cant get the Pro for the R32, thats why i was looking into usin an R33 PFC with afew wiring mods, oh well back to looking for a piggy back limiter

[2rismo]

Bummer

Adrian

[predator]

your drag strip is concrete? hmm..

hard to tell from the vids.. just bouncing off the rev limiter probably chokes the car a bit after launch wouldn't it?

I think one launch in your vid was a low 2.x time which is not too bad.. should be able to get you a mid-13 from what i see from the SAU list if everything else is right.

What types of modifications dso you have on your car? Doesn't really seem to be taking off that quickly after the launch really, i think the mid-range is letting you down. What sort of tune has it had? do u have a dyno sheet? Maybe its just building too much power up top-end and not enough down low-mid end?

[NA_R33]

GIZMO make a piggback launch control item... not sure on spelling it may be two "z"s

[NA_R33]

autobahn sell them and same brand dual stage shift lights as well..

[drifto]

I wouldn't worry about trying to perfect the car at this point in time.

The driver needs the work.

I don't mean that in a derogitory (don't knock the spelling) way but until he's running consistent times at the peak of the current set up which may be @ 13.5, then what has he achieved.

[Bass Junky]

Has anybody got any more details on these aftermarket launch control things?
