OBEHVE at Calder last night

[silva33]

I saw OBEHVE at calder last night..... what a monster!! Black R33 GTST

What is its best time??? i have done a search and it seems like a well known car but couldnt find a consistent time....

A young guy was driving it but it looked like he couldnt get the power down for a while, but when it picked up, christ did it move!!!!

I saw under the bonnet, looks like BIG dollars have been spent on it.....

[makaveli]

It would have had heaps spent on it, did you see Zoom magazine issue no.73

Obehave is on the front cover and it has 386kw's at the wheels!!!

take it easy

has run a 10.3 on slicks and 10.9 on street tyres, but i heard it was ridden off ages ago

[Ant97GTR]

Yes OBEHVE is a monster and no it wasn't written off ages ago....I know this 'cause the owner has a few things done at ATP where I get my car worked on. If fact the GTR rear wing on my car was originally OBEHVE's.

The young guy driving it hasn't had much experience with the car running the figures it is atm so I wouldn't be surprised if it was sideways 1/2way down the 1/4!!! The owner of ATP often gets to drives it down the 1/4 'cause he can keep it straight

yer, the owner doesnt actually race it @ calder. I've had a chat to him a number of times. He seems to be pretty cool. Been running on and off for 6 months or so.

It runs a big auto :thumbsdown:

Personal opinion... do it in a skyline... do it with a manual

[makaveli]

I couldn't agree more

atleast he walk 10sec

[Ant97GTR]

Ash......yeah mate he isn't a bad bloke. The car used to be a manual but when it started pushing 300+kw at the wheels it was impossible keeping her straight thru 2nd and 3rd gears......the solution was found by fitting a manual-ised auto box. Apparently she stays very straight thru the gears under full noise now

[R31Nismoid]

atleast he walk 10sec

wtf are you on about?

Ya ant, but manual is half the fun of the skyza!

I must say though, i dunno how all these people are sideways in 2nd with 220-250rwkw when they come on boost or whatever.

i certainly aint with my car if i do a tidy gear change from 1st to 2nd.

[Ant97GTR]

Ash.....I know how much fun the manual is...I own one

Mate your car isn't putting out enough torque if you can't get sideways with the mods you've done......I had my car dynoed a couple of weeks ago and I'm getting sideways in 2nd and 3rd gears. Also thats with no gear change, I was in 3rd and hit the loud pedal thru the floor = soooo many Nm.....

[Guest RedLineGTR]

think he means that it does 10sec 1/4 miles or in that area...dunno

[Guest RedLineGTR]

OBEHVE Street Setup ETA 10.9 @ 126mph - Drag Setup ETA 10.3 @ 135mph

Something i found out of my internet searches!!! Pretty sure this is true. If not well...meh

mmm... manual

you guys must be running some dodgy tyres or something i reckon.

i made 275kw @ race pace, drove home without a problem. As long as i dont go silly in 1st, 2nd was a breaze, and the car has a pretty phat graph. So it's not as if its only making power in 1000rpm.

I can get it sideways if i pop clutch, or just keep it sideways from a hard launch in 1st, but anyone can do that. Im talking 2nd, from 20km/h or so.

I get a squeal of tyre, but certainly not slide-ways.

Hrm. Once i get it back again (turbo spat a bearing) we'll see how it goes with more road "testing"

[INASNT]

Ash is this the turbo you got at a special price that shat itself??

LOL hasent it only done about 3000km??

Was this the backyard leb spec turbo special???

I made 255kw @ 1 bar at racepace and if i go from 0km/h in second and floor it mine will wheel spin from 4000rpm to 7500rpm with 255 rear tyres. At 1.4 bar its even worse and 3rd gets slidy also.

[R31Nismoid]

denham. sh*tup you keyboard warrior. honestly, get over it will you.

there are many things that can cause a turbo to fail that fast.

maybe use your keyboard to find some of them? U seem to use it a fiar bit

[SLYSX]

bad luck about the turbo ash, sucks ass

iam guessing thats why you didnt make much power at MAS

How did it happened over boosting or was it just a freak thing?

[INASNT]

Ash I dont need to use my keyboard as my turbo not blowing up for over 10,000km says it all

Only thing that can cause a brand new turbo to fail so quick is that it was made badly in the first place or you had a oil/water problems causing the bearing to fail from getting too hot

[R31Nismoid]

thats the only twot things you reckon?

lol. you've got no idea. There is a massive amount of things.

do your homework before you throw you keyboard around.

SLY - yer, could well be why the car wasnt right @ MAS. It blew the next day afterall lol.

[INASNT]

y the hell would i need to do homework on turbos that blow after a few thousand km's?? My turbo works fine. I think you need to do research my friend as to why ur stuff keeps blowing up
