Did my first ever RWYB event today, and also my first time at trying to launch the GTR. Only did 2 runs as after the second run the car stank of burnt clutch and still does now after a 2.5hour drive home!
Both runs were pretty poor tbh, first run was the best with a 14.57 @ 100.5mph, second being 14.77 @ 101mph. Im running 356bhp. First run up the strip I let the clutch out while keeping the revs around 3k rpm, which I found out was way too low as the car just bogged down, second run I messed up and pretty much slipped the clutch throughout first gear :nervous:
Have to say, its nowhere near as easy as it looks to put in decent times on the strip so respect to anyone that can!
Saw a couple of other 33 GTRs there - a midnight purple one with white alloys and a white one with graphics (Garage Ito?). White one was putting in some cool times (late 12s IIRC). Also was a DMG 35 there, from what I saw was consistently putting in low 12s
Might need a new clutch now though, cant figure out why the car still smells 4hours after a run
