I'm close to a sub 13 1/4

Got a 13.1 @ 109.5 with a 2.1 60' today @ Adelaide International Raceway

Full street trim on 13psi boost, 36psi in the rears, 3000rpm launch, spare wheel in the back & 3/4 of a tank of gas.

So I'm confident I can crack a high 12 :)

hrmm why do you luanch at 3000rpm ? do you slip the clutch or drop it ?

Sounds good mate keep it up i can't wait to you pull a 12 :)

very nice matt drop the tyre pressures alittle some vht and you never know. a great result I would love to see you crack the 12's man
meggala

awesome stuff mate:eek: :D

keep us informed, 1.4 tank of petrol no spare and 22psi in the rear tyres should do it for u easy

13.1s sh#t thats fast what mods have you done to your car:eek2:

Kabab,
I drop the clutch. Why only 3000?, well as today was my 2nd ever go @ drags on a strip I wasn't sure on how much I could drop it at (on the street any more than 2500-2700 & I go slower).
I really wanted to see how I'd go running it as do on the road any day of the week, hence the spare wheel/fuel load & 36psi.

I should've dropped the rear pressures, wound up the boost, & gave it 5000rpm of the line, but there's always next time :)


blacksky33,

Edit: included sig, to show mod's

I usually luanch at 3500-4000rpm and slip the clutch and the thing flies :) But you have much more power then me so it will probably kill your clutch more.

nice time dude, that is hauling butt!
You've certainly got the potential for sub 13's...

Kabab,
If I slip the clutch I fry it (still running a basic clutch set-up), I can probably get my 60' down to 1.9 (give or take) with a bit more practice/playing.

Bren,
Thanks mate :D

Jezz you still running the standard clutch i wonder how long that will last :):):(:(:)

Keep up the good work :)

Matt,

Awesome time mate! :)

Hope u'll be taking it back to the track soon to crack 12's!!!!

matt

Thanks mate. Yeah I'm keen to hit the strip again, next AIR meet is in December.

Have ya' had a Gtech run yet?, 12's???, I know you can do it man.

Great effort dude:sun:
I'll have 2 come out next meet to watch ya crack the 12`s:)

Matt

I have trouble launching my r33gtst always seem to get too much wheelspin... could be my tyres but i neva seem to get off the line quick enough :(
any suggestions on how to launch? I have the usual mods airfilter exaust and 10psi boost.

Bugalugs,
Thanks mate.
If I'd been thinking I would've posted a few days b4 the last run, but it was a spur of the moment thing, "Hmmm, hey the drags are on today I might go down & see how I go" :D

wil25t,
I'm still learning myself mate, it's just a matter of practice, try launching from low revs (~2000rpm) & work your way up till you only get a tiny bit of w/spin without bogging down. I find dumping the clutch works best for me.
Old hard rear tyres will make it really tricky to get away without excessive w/spin:(
