I think Im gonna try an 8psi run next time to see my difference in 60ft time.....I launch great with not much wheelspin so some of u guys with minimal mods and boost should be getting 2.1s

Maybe i need to work out the 2 stage boost systym to give it 15psi as soon as i hit 2nd gear as with 8psi i dont even get a chirp

GTSVSPEC......3800 launch?? are you crazy?

Your turbo full spools at 2800 or something like that,

Ive soon your wheelspin in first maybe u should lower the dump rpm

Yeah I've tried lower rpm, but when the twin plate bites it really bogs down. I've got to learn to slip the clutch, but it is a much finer line for getting it right with a twin. That's why I need the practice, I haven't found the sweet spot yet.

But surely if u let go at 3200 it wont bog down?

Or will it?

I've got a twin plate in mine, and someone told me that slipping it is VERY bad .... frys it very quickly :)

edit: my grammar :)

Macka, I've been trying with different revs, anything below 3500 causes bog down from a clutch drop, anything over 3800 causes wheelspin launch.

I think 3800 is OK, but I tend to lay the power on too soon, I get excited, and so I start with some traction but them loose it in the blood rush.

Next drags bring some long pants and I'll let you have a drive, see if you can work out where to launch it from.

I don't really want to slip the clutch, with more power even twin plates can fry.

You crazy overexcited guy!!

Thanks..Hmmm sounds tempting but id hate for something to let go while i was driving!

And i prolly wouldnt get a better time altho its good to see how other lines are driving :)

I reckon i could of pulled a whole second off ADAM32s best of 14.5 tho.

I tried on that last meet i was there and only managed a 14.5 with first go and dropping it at 4500 i could of done alot better :)

Macka,

I'm not letting you into my pants, you dirty fat bastard. I'm not worried about you breaking anything, if it happens then I'll make it stronger, kind of like evolution.

I'm just worried that you'll crap you pants in excitement, "Wow a clutch that actual bites".

I think the key is to change one thing what your doing at a time, if it doesnt work revert back and go down another track -- Strich9 i think we nned to organise a R.I.C.E. dyno day if i get a chanbe ill go have a chat to the TREVS at Kiwana Profomance as they just got a new one in there then we should be able to more understand gear change revs etc.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
