Heat Treatments Drag GTR Update - Page 16 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

All sorted now, first launch resulted in a massive bog - way more traction than they are used to. The clutch has been adjusted a bit to suit and they're ready to have another go....

Red R Racing · 17th August 2010, 05:05 AM

ran 7.8 @ 184MPH OTB

Lith · 17th August 2010, 05:29 AM

That run was straight, sounds like its passes so far have been straight as anything. I suspect the next run with the clutch adjusted a little more could start making things quite interesting, my ~185mph trap speed for today may prove too conservative....

Rod Harvey just went 6.47 @ 222mph in the Pro Turbo Rayglass Celica

Lith · 17th August 2010, 06:53 AM

Holy crap!!! Thats awesome

R.I.P.S NZ · 17th August 2010, 07:04 AM

Man thats getting it on!!! Track must be mint.

NXTIME · 17th August 2010, 10:38 AM

Sounds promising.

Track usually is great for Jambo

R.I.P.S NZ · 17th August 2010, 09:44 PM

60ft and 1/2 track ET and mph were well down too, so its looking good!!!!

Yep I have a sneaking suspicion the GTR record may be cracked in the coming hours...

Isn't the internet cool stuff. Great job to Heat Treatments. 184 mph shows they have some more in it.

Lith · 18th August 2010, 01:21 AM

Oh yeah, there should be at least another 10mph!

<edit> First pass was a bog, they're trying to find the sweet spot with the clutch - hopefully they start narrowing in on it

Lith · 18th August 2010, 02:24 AM

Next run should be coming soon, one of the other cars testing kissed a wall but all sorted and nothing major by the sounds. A bit more clutch adjustment has been done, and sounds like the traction is great so they're going to dip into the power reserves a little deeper and see how a few more hp get on with the track

R.I.P.S NZ · 18th August 2010, 03:37 AM

Just had a txt, way more grip than they are use to, bogging badly on the line, 1.40 60ft, 8.4 @ 184.

Takes alot of torque to get 1300+kg moving quickly with the grip they have, sounds like they're trying more boost, more clutch slip and possibly a lower 1st gear ratio.

8.22 @ 183mph - this time Reece had to back out because of a big sideways. It seems to like the mid 180mph area, regardless of how it gets there.
