friday night at race city

[brian]

last friday went down to race city in calgary to see what my gtr would run
and i was lauching at about 4000 to 5000 rpm and was running about 14.1
then towards the end of the night i tried launching from about 6500 and i ran about 13.9
i only have hks exhuast from turbo back and a hks intercooler, stock boost. I was happy with the 13.9 i was only exspecting about a 14.1

do you have a twin plate clutch??

such hard launches will kill your clutch fast watch out

good times you got there

[sushtsi]

What MPH did you get? What was your 60' time?

Post up the full slip.

[Liquid Snake]

alway thought the GTR would be faster, like 13.5 or 13.6...must be the weight...

Still, it's a good start

[klys]

they were when they were out of the factory

thee a claim that a 13.0s run was acheived back in the early 90 with a completly GTR

but that was with a car that didn't have 15 years + of driving

so 13.9 is still good I figure

[brian]

the 60 foot time on the 13.9 run was 1.931 and my mph was 98.78
on the other runs were i ran 14.1 i had a mph of 99.87 and 99.78, didnt get the 100mph sticker, it was so close

[brian]

that will be the only night i drag with it, so i was not to worried about the hard launches, the clutch still fells good and strong

[boost-god]

was it a hot humid day/night. ive made close to 1 sec better times on better air, without any mods or tuning.

that is on a turbo civic not a gtr. but turbo is turbo.

[boost-god]

example. consistent 13.6
week later no futher tunning almost consistent 12.7

You were happy with a 13.9? That's what im aiming for in my gts-t, right now it's doing 14.4's with just intake & exhaust.

Some guys don't "live their life a 1/4 mile at a time", and are just happy to be racing. And for a 15 year old car to do .2 slower than dead stock and brand new?? I would be very happy....

[brian]

well i was lying about the clutch thing, the clutch was not in the best shape
in the first place, the clutch grabbed later in the clutch pedal travel, then it should.
the clutch also chattered when shifting into second it would continue to chatter all the way through that gear and into third.
I had said that the clutch was still strong, but actually after i wrote that the next day on my way in to work, i went to pass some cars and the rpms flared up the car did not accel, and then is just got worse, so at the moment it is in my shop getting a clutch, at the end of this season i am going to try again.
I am going to launch it hard again and see what i can run, i also had over a half tank a gas

[FirstTimeBoostin]

^ Did you at least go to a stage 2 clutch?

[TheLast]

I have seen meny stock/allmost stock GT-R's run low 13s and high 12s I am at the drag strip about 12 to 15 times a year I got my allmost stock gts-t only uped boost intake and cat back to run a 14.0 least year.. now i will give you this I am in BC at allmost sea leval so that helps and the first time i when to the track i was about a second off stock time r32 GT-R stock time is 13.0

1.9 on the 60 foot is only so/so for a GT-R.

Every tenth at the 60 foot is about 2 tenths at the 1/4 mile.

So if you can get it down to a 1.8 , you should run a 13.7.

Very stock GT-R's , can and will go in the 1.7's for the 60 foot, so that would bring you down to a 13.5.

The mph - 98-99 is a little on the light side also. I expect to see fairly stock cars in the 102-104 mph range.

6500 rpms is a good place to launch a stockish GT-R. Any less and it will just bog off the line.
