Real world 0-60 times

Go for it, will be interesting to compare. The vbox, makes the timing so easy, just stop and then go when you are ready.

The 2.9 and less is for my11s onwards.

Some have said that even with the ecutek lc4 software from the my11 there may still be a hardware difference in the drivetrain though I'm not convinced.

I saw an article on youtube whereby Nissan claim the official 0-60 time for MY10 is 3.3 the MY09 is 3.5

Technique wont really come into it - the Revs and LCoff\on will and of course the condition of the road..

Hot sticky tarmac helps though

Why woud there be a difference? Mechanically and electronically identical apart from sat nav.

What times have others here managed, and how can i get to 2.9 or 3.0, seems to me the Nissan official times must be absolutely perfect conditions.

No experience launching a GTR but plenty of racing starts and all I can say is that small variations in launch revs, tyre temp, pressure, particular road surface, clutch temp and ambient conditions can all have a surprisingly large effect on a standing start. I don't know enough about the GTR tyres but even when racing on road rubber you need to get brutal with them before lining up on the grid to make a fast getaway. Different tyres can have different sensitivities though - even different sets of the exact same tyre and i don't know enough about these particular tyres.

Never tried this myself but if you have a logger why not try a launch downhill (like Ferrari ) and compare the initial take off data to see just how much time is saved by the car gaining traction quicker. If it is a large amount then you have the proof and an idea of how much time there is to potentially gain through tweaking launch revs, tyre temp, road surface etc .

The difference is down to the difference in Lc software lc2 is supposed to give you a better launch

[Takamo]

Wait untill it's a cloudy cool but dry day and yourl notice a big difference in acceleration, I know most turbo cars run better in cool conditions but the Gtr is the most clearly noticable then all my previous skylines, they run dramatically better when it's a bit cooler outside

Comparing my MY11 to my stage 4 MY10, the MY11 does feel quicker off the line. But with more power the Stage 4 built speed more aggressively from 50mph onwards.

When the latest batch of rain passes I'll get the V-Box out and get some figures.

Fascinating, show just how clever the launch software must be .

0-60 3.4
0-100 7.27

Both done at York Raceway. Lots of wheelspin on the Bridgestone though when using LC

Never launched using LC, but on my fave bit of road from a set of lights just hitting the gas, LC5 software takes off much better than my original OEM LC2.

Interestingly though, I have found TC cutting in, it seems, far more often with LC5 than the old LC2 in lots of different situations.

Maybe coincidence ( had 4 sets of tyres, 3xBridgies, 1xdunnies over 3 years so not convinced it's rubber related as I've run through lots of tread levels) but time will tell.

[Adamantium]

I really don't understand the civstab reference to LC1 2 3 etc. Before the my11 it wasn't a launch control as such that was programmed to maximise traction and hold the perfect rpm for minimum launch time, they were simply different speed rev limits that were pre programmed. There was no traction control element other than was provided by the position of the third switch. Or at least that's what I've read.

You need larger turbo intake pipes to do the same as a MY11 car. Mine car with stage 2 does 0-62.5 in 3.2 sec with LC5. Without LC around 3.8 secs.



1.8 sec-5 sec that was 0-62.5mph.

What model and state of tune ?

Thats interesting, without LC mine will do 3.4 , but best with it is 3.1 ! Your 0.6 difference is huge !
