Wat is the best way to do a quick launch on a r33 gts-t.

I dump the clutch on 3000-4000 and it is wheel spin city!

The best I can do is rev to about 2300-2500 and put the clutch half way and then rev it to 3000-3500 and full engage it and it is quite good not much wheel spin.

Any suggestions?

Getting a quick launch has more to do with having decent tyres then anything else me thinks...traction is most important.

But, since you're asking, I personally find that launching around 3000 rpm and then gradually 'feathering' the clutch out usually works best for me. Mind you, I only have a set of fairly crappy tyres on the car at the moment...

Each racer does it differently. basically you want to launch with the highest possible RPM while avoiding more than 10% wheelspin. You start somewhere (say 5000 RPM) and vary it by 250 RPM increments, examining your 60' time to see what works best.

There is no reason your car wont 1.75 sixty, but as already mentioned your wasting your time trying on any lesser tyre than MT street radials. If your slipping the clutch, your not getting 100% drive therefore your times will be slower. 5500-6000 on MTs, if it turns them, come down 500.

    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows 
    • interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.
