I had 5 runs and left just as the burnouts started at 9. Yeh should be a fairly low 12 with some proper setting up. .

One of my runs - Had a great start with a 1.70 60foot (lowest for the night), hit 2nd gear pulling damm hard and the bloody ashtray fold out thing in front of the gear stick comes crashing out and blocking me going into 3rd gear!! Damm thing was full of loose change so it ended sending it all over the floor of the car haha..Cost me a good run!!

The ashtray ended up in the back seat somewhere..couldn't believe it when happened grrr

The 12.5 was at a 1.7 60 ft 1.79 to be exact..did the 1.70 on the ashtray affected run :)

Had a few close runs with MADGTR 2nite, he did a best of 12.4 i think.

Well done :)

Interesting, the first (and only time) i went to the drags with my stock turbos, making about 250rwkw i ran 12.4@111mph... there was more in it but the strip was crap for traction that day i was told by other regulars. Axle tramping all the way through 1st and 2nd sucks.

Do you feel there is anymore MPH in your current setup?

The R32 is also lighter so i would of expected it to be a little quicker than my R33.

Had a run out at WSID tonight..

12.5 at 112mph :D with a 1.7 60 foot

Perfect 60 ft , i only wish i could do that in mine but then again i have an extra 100 odd kg on me !

Good to see MADGTR having a go , if i knew i would have beeing there to match race him , as we have the same set up in our cars .

What was your trap speed Paul ?

The track would have been very average last night. Their hasn't been any racing on the track for about 10-14 days due to bad weather. It's also been about 3-4 days since I last seen the sun so the track temp would have been very low.

The run that you missed 3rd I remember my reaction from the launch (it looked way faster than the other runs) thinking "this has gotta be a low 12 for sure" then you missed 3rd :D

Their is certainly a 12.0-12.2 in the car, just a matter of time.

Good nite, pity about the weather (not many cars).

becuase an r32 gtr intercooler can run about .9-1 bar efficently before it starts to restrict the turbos(run out of flow capacity). an r34 gtr cooler flows a bit better from memory its about 1.2 bar

Edited by mr 32

I think it should be a tad bit higher with a good driver (no offense), quick gear changes, and revving it out all the way to 8 :P

Hell wrxhoon did 118mph in his 34 gtr with stsandard mods with gtss. the heads a bit better than it is on the 32 and 33 so hes got a bit more power .....

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
