Fixed

I'm glad someone said it.

[jangles]

come on petey, youve been there, you know its not easy to go in a straight line

[Shane_954]

Its not that hard....

[zoidbergmerc]

It's pretty hard to get a good time that's for sure.

[jangles]

Its not that hard....

Guess so, put it in D or let clutch out and away you go!!

[XRATED]

Its not that hard....

Yes it is...

[Shane_954]

I dont find it difficult, maybe those GTR's are harder to drive than an old shitter.

[jangles]

I think zoidberg summed it up

What do you have for those of us unaware Shane?

[Shane_954]

Just an old 3 litre 31.

[jangles]

Yeah rob has an old 3l in his 33 also.......

[Shane_954]

I know, I just put it together. Mine is an old one, never been opened.

[zoidbergmerc]

Mine is stock and NA

[WHITER33GTS-T]

Yes it is...

Would have thought a gtr would be easier than something with the same power rwd

You should have used my auto and gone chasing 10s.

depends on the setup, im going to go with that around 400kw and up and a GTR will be harder to handle than a RWD in drags apps.

seen many a crashed gtr from new to gtr drivers that come from rwd platforms because of the way the torque split is

Trying to get a GTR with over 400kw out of the hole cleanly can be very difficult...

Alot of it is to do with the clutch. 400kw GTR needs a much bigger clutch with quite a sharp pick up as compared to a rwd, due to the available grip and weight...

With a manual rwd skyline, part of the launch IS wheelspin, the fastest way out of the hole is a perfect ballance of grip v's slip v's fwd movement- the wheelspin is directly controlled via throttle input.

Launching a GTR is the sweet spot between bogging on the line and flurry of awd wheelspin. A GTR will torque steer quite badly if the front wheels spin... fkn scary actually. The best way I can describe it, is feeding the car onto the torqueband.... easy to say, much harder to do.

My car has an OS giken r3c... basically an on/off clutch, thus trying to 'slip' of 'feed' with it is fkn hard enough, then throw in a violent launch/fwd movement and all your leg wants to do it fly back (off the clutch). The difference between a good and a bad launch is about 3mm.

Auto's... well it's the fastest and most consistant way to race almost any car. If I didn't want to drive my GTR on the street (and I'm a purist) I'd throw a AWD big auto under it and run faster and more consistant times.

It still aint easy though.

If you wan't to go fast on the drag strip.... big cubes/boost, auto, slicks, solid diff and a light car.

RWD- launch on th throttle

GTR- Launch on the clutch

Received my pipes today,

slight mix up when posting so I got a set without a flange but the guy was a champ when i rang him & refunded me the price of it

hopefully I'll get a chance to dummy fit them tomorrow

Howdy,

Couple of questions. I've got an Nm35 Stagea

Where's the best place to get an immobilizer/alarm installed? Do most of you buy a kit off ebay and then get a place like Hobart Audio to install it? I recently imported the car and it's come with an alarm (and maybe an immobiliser) but my insurer quoted that I needed an 'Australian Standard immobiliser,' which has me worried if it got knocked off.

Also, where's the cheapest place to get a dump and catback installed? I rang up Moonah Mufflers and Carline and the latter seems the cheaper for an install.

Cheers

I got mine done at Hoabrt Car Audio. (now Auto Addiction i think) on Murrary Street opposite Mitre 10.

$300 supplied and fitted
