rev210 Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Originally posted by skyzerr33 vspec but with a decent clutch hicks can slip it at the luanch so he keeps the good times u gotta slip it in a gtst Whatever works, sometimes slipping the clutch doesn't help when you got next to no power like mine, the tyres should do some work even if its only 205 worth. My tip: don't rev the shite outa your engine and you will launch ok with lower pressure in the rear tyres. Vspec, see what rev your car juuuust bogs down on if you on the street with a sidestep. It probably won't bog down on the strip at this rev. Feed the accellerator as quickly as you can, without bogging it.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Rev210, Thanks for the tips. Are you coming down on Wednesday, as I'm sure I could use some expert advice? It bogs down at around 3000rpm, but this is with the shitty 265's on the back. I'm bringing some brand new 255's if I can't get good traction. I'm taking a trolley jack and hopefully a small compressor to change tyre pressure, to see if it has any affect. I'm only going to run BP Ultimate with octane booster, I'm planning on using some VP Motorsport Fuel at a later date once I get used to the launching.

Hicks Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Originally posted by GTS-t VSPEC Hey Hicks, My mate said that skylines will tend to go considerably faster when the clutch is just starting to slip. Ha ha, Bullshit, paul!! Untill you get your 13.6 or lower, my car is faster. :lol: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7168-drags-this-wednesday/page/2/#findComment-105897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hicks Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Originally posted by adam 32 but standard turbo, standard intercooler. a power FC doesnt automatically launch you into the 12s...

See'ya:burnout: Dude would like to have another go but, I'm down south with the family on holiday. Just remember to have fun, and make sure you beat the guy next to you, its the best part for the adrenalin. Race some of the other skyline guys in a grudge match. Tell the stewards you want to do this and they will fit you both in.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Rev210, I'd prefer to race Holdens, cause then I know I'm in with a chance. Was hoping to go up against Hicks, but it looks like he won't have his clutch till this weekend. Have a good time down south.

Hicks Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 You should win though. You've got a bigger intercooler than me, bigger piping, greddy plenum, wolf 4.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Hicks, In a wanking contest you'd obviously win, you have had so much more practise. I'm practacing this Wednesday to be ready for you next week, I'll nitrous my car if I have to just to beat you.

EVL R33 Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 Hicks, No offence taken dude, I agree totally!!!!! But in my defence I never put the tyres down, had crappy tyres that spun in 1st, 2nd and 3rd and had 2 x 12" subs, 2 amps and spare tyre in the boot!!!! (I know most of you have the same and run faster times but that's not important:lol: ) Had some fun in the R last night, tried my first 6k launch, chopped a new WRX and some flashy little turbo car (hatch with full kit, 5 in 1 paint job etc... I didn't realise how fast the R was until I actually ran someone, can't wait for more power !!!!!! ;) Anyone else think I might hit the speed cut before the end of the 1/4 tomorrow night?? I have no idea of terminal speeds I'll get...

macka Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Originally posted by EVL R33 Kym, The best I could ever manage with the GTS was a 14.5... That was with full exhaust, pod, Power FC and 0.8bar. Crap driver was the cause I think.. So I thought F*&K it and got a GTR, now it's just 7000rpm and go!!! ha ha ha ha 13 seconds here I come... Brett Would expect a 13 flat or high 12s if your running a bit more boost than standard. ya prick!:bahaha: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7168-drags-this-wednesday/page/2/#findComment-106133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVL R33 Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 Macka, It's still running standard boost, so I'm guessing (and only guessing) that a mid 13 might be possible as is, hopefully with the power fc, cam gears and 1 bar 12's should be gotten (as long as I can learn to drive it properly).... I'd say we would have a good run, a 12.8 is damn fast for a gtst!!! You must have some crazy mid range power!!!! You going tomorrow night????

Brett You should do better than 13.5 if your not a nasty driver! stock everything? new exhaust = a bit more boost 12.98 a 12.8 would of been a bit more solid in the 12's but theres always next time. I dont have much mid range that all disappeared when i backed the timing off, its all top end now which makes it a bit of a bugger around town altho boost comes on early so its not too bad. I may come down on wed to watch but thats about it im afraid!!

deesh Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 theres a few going, so it should be good.

adam 32 Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I dont have much mid range haha we all know who the king of mid-range power is! go for a 12 brett. im not sure what time you 'should' get with specs etc. but a 12second pass definately has bragging rights!

EVL R33 Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 Macka, Yeah true with the full zorst I'll be running a bit more boost than standard, guess I'll just wait and see what time's I get... Deesh, I never underestimate the 180's, a few mates have them and god damn even stock they hammer.. But I'll give you a go.. Adam, Yeah a 12 is bragging rights, but a 12 in a gtst is better than a 12 in a gtr right!!!! SOOO I guess I'll have to aim for 11's then!!! ha ha ha ha ha.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 pisnnissn??, Yeah, alot of mags claim that the factory GTR's can do high 12's, and it probably is possible, but add the normal driver to the equation and mid to low 13's are more likely. Make some minor mods and 12's no problem.
