12.4 1/4 mile basicly stock????

[Lovin_boost]

ok so i went to the track on opening weekend here at Toronto motorsports park in ontario and ran a 12.409 at 112mph and the rest of my runs other then my first to were 12.6 12.7 and 12.8 and a 12.9. but im a little confused my buddies are saying it shouldnt be that fast all i have done to the car is put new tires on (235/45/17's) and a 5" think intercooler and took the stock boost restrictors out of the vacume lines to run it at 1.0 bar. i still have stock air box and only has 3.5" cat back with a heavy duty 3" cat that i used to get it passed e-test.

should the car be running that kinda time with those little mods???

thanks

Dan

sounds about right

[Lovin_boost]

really wow nice so if i give her a little tune with a wideband and SAFC and get sum open filters for the intake and a downpipe i could hit 11's??

[PH_Motorsports]

Sounds right to me... dont you love stock gtr's

[Terrh]

yep, I went 12.2@114, basically stock.

Get an Safc and meth injection, you'll hit 11's easy as pie.

[Bruizer]

Heh, 12s ain't that much around here sadly. There's quite a few vehicles here that run big power. There's an RSX in town that takes my doors off (I'm stock) 4 car lenghts by 2nd gear on me lol. Lots of Z06 here, vipers, old school muscle, suprisingly, quite a few trucks run over 800hp in this town. I love my car but honnestly, it's dated and "passe" that's why it's getting overhauled this winter, cause even a stock Pontiac G8 gives a stock GTR a run.

Did I miss a big blow up or something ? ........all the e-drama has been cleared from this thread.. ? Am I in trouble or something ?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, I would be proud of a stock 12's car, as I said in the first place. Great number.

My biggest problem with my car is the clutch. I just can't launch the car to save my life. It's just too agressive. I can't slip it enough and I am scared of breaking something if I just let it go @ 5-6000 RPM. It's like an ON/OFF switch....there is NO happy medium.....

I would doubt that I could get my car deep into the 12's because of this.....

Good job on the run though. Sometimes the driver makes all the difference, because remember, the GTR is listed as being a 12.7 car and you ran 12.4 ......so good on ya.

^^^LOL

What you do next determines whether or not you're in trouble. (Kealog too.)

I cleaned up the "Edrama" kind of like you flush the toilet if you happen upon someone's 'mess'.

Anyhow, the main idea is...

Well, about launching, I pulled off about 40-50 7500rpm launches before I cooked a twin clutch, they loud and lousy OS giken Twin. I'm much nicer to the nismo twin as it was a bit more expensive to replace.

[JD74]

Other than "foot control" is there a Launch Control System for the GTR ? Does the PFC have something built in that just requires a switch or something ? .........I wonder.....

I understand the AEM ECU has some capabilities that can do launch control. Really, with a GTR you don't really need it. You've got so much grip you won't spin decent tires very much. If you sidestep the clutch at 7500 you'll get a rather nice launch.

Before you do, consider how your clutch and, if you're putting down much more than 400 whp, front diff will respond. (the really fast guys limit front torque for hard launchs.)

There we go.....thanks GTR-Dad

THAT would make me feel a little safer - a Torque Splitter.

It's the front end I worry about more than anything, as I really don't care about the clutch.....it's what happens in/near that oil pan that scares me

I think I will make THAT one of my next purchases after the PFC D-Jetro goes in. Do you know of one that can 'interact' at all with a PFC ? or does it really matter ? Recommendations on a 'cost effective' Torque Splitter ?

[mcfly]

Not just any tq split controller will work.
for drag applications you need either a full manual ebrake style or a grid ts dancer. They will allow you to do a constant split. There were others in the past also capable of this function but they are no longer made.

Neither of those are cheap.
Any new ecu made generally comes with a type of two step or three step launch control built in. Launching on boost is sexy.

[hozer]

PFC has a programmable launch RPM setting... Basically just put it to the floor and the PFC takes care of the rest

The clutch is far more important than your front diff.

Front diff explodes - MAYBE chunks get sent into your oil pan, causing you to lose the motor. Maybe.

Clutch explodes, you lose a foot, and possibly bleed to death before you can even get the car stopped. Which might take a while too, if it takes out the brake lines, steering column, a tire, etc.
