Took My Car To Calder Last Nite

[Starionturbo]

Took the car down to calder last nite, a few skylines there, seen a few R31 GTS with SAU VIC stickers on em.

Last minute decision to go down and run my car cos the tyres are prettty slick, we also pulled out the front headlight.

Only got 3 runs in cos it was packed but on my last run I gave it my all and ran a 12.5 @ 110 mph. I was reallll happy with the result. I did this on 13 psi, bald 18 inch 265 Dunlop SP8000e, stock dump, stock cat and a remapped (for stock turbo) ecu.

I have got 113 mph before on just over 14 psi, but I kept it at low boost hence the lower 110 MPH. Just a nice big burnout to get the tyres up to temp and a solid launch.

Ive got a video of the run as well, will put it up! im hoping now when I put on injectors, PFC, tune and a couple of other items that I can get the car into the high 11s, again on street 18s (no nittos/semi slicks).

nice time man...get that vid up!

[Starionturbo]

thanks dezz

The vid may be a while, Ive gotta get it compressed then uploaded somewhere. I dont have ADSL or a computer capable of compressing, so Ill have to wait until I can get hold of one!

Also to note, I got a 1.8 second 60 ft!

Top effort!!!

[acsplit]

Yep i had my car out there with the new KAAZ lsd fitted and only got 2 runs bogged down both times and managed 16.1 @ 84mph ,

I saw your 12.5 sec run very impressive and well done

There was even a 31 in the burnout comp 5 minutes on the rev limiter non stop

people respect the RB

Thanks mate,

I wouldve come up and said Hi, but it was just so packed out, I found myself constantly just moving my car up the never ending line. I only got 3 bloody runs!!! Other times ive been to calder Ive had like 15 runs!

[silva33]

Im jealous!!!!

I could only manage a 13.8!!! with a terrible 60ft!

Ben (Racepace) has told me its my clutch not holding the power in 3rd gear, what sort of clutch are you running???

Cangrats with the great time!

Just out of interest, what was your 1000ft mph??? around 87ish?

[Starionturbo]

Hey

Im running a fairly "common" Exedy Heavy duty clutch. Ive never believed in these clutches in the past, Ive always had CBP Xtreme button clutches, but this exedy clutch cops a hammering and holds nicely. I got it new when I first got the car, Im pleased with it, and its not really that expensive. Its held up well for over 16 x 12 second passes and the assaulting it gets on the street.

no 1000ft speeds were recorded in ANY of my runs, but at the 660 ft mark I was getting 89 mph.

Getting good times comes down to practise and knowing your car, people ask me what RPM I launch and what RPM to shift, I dont look, I somehow am able to hear it. Keep it simple, dont try too many things at once, you dont need more boost to get a better E.T.

[Bobbygill]

nice 60ft time mate, good effort.

[riggaP]

That 60ft time is awesome dude. Well done.

[bigcarl]

great time and 60ft time, my best for the night was 12.9 with a 2.2 60ft time at 111.5 mph.

[inark]

nice time mate! well done... especially considering the limited mods

[Starionturbo]

bigcarl - what car were you driving, I only seen 2 other GTRs there and I think a white R33 GTST.

[SLYSX]

[Paradizzle]

So you did that time with, cat back exhaust, boost to 13 psi, i assume u have front mount. and remapped ecu? thats it.

That is awesome!
