JamieP Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Just got home from suprapod, had a great day, big thanks to all that organised it. Never got the 9 I really wanted but still over the moon with a new personal best of 10.1 @ 149mph. My 60 fts was shocking all day, never got better than 1.8, on my 10.1 run my 60ft was 1.87. Main problem of the day was clutch issues, i only got a few clean runs, clutch kept getting stuck on the floor and it got worse as the day went on, gonna have to get it in to SRD to see what's going on. Thread on clutch issue. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?252584-Clutch-Issue-Twisted-main-shaft-or-something-else Long day, I'm shattered now, food and bed is in order I think Edited August 13, 2011 by JamieP (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tony, nice meeting you, love to see any videos if anyone got anything? love to see my run against Stuartw. Thanks Abz, they say for every tenth you can knock off the 60ft thats two tenths at the end, 1.5 60ft would put me in a mid 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got faith in you dude, my friend who came along (previous GTR owner) was astonished with the times you were putting through & he assures me if you could have got it to hook traction you would have easily hit 9 today. He also couldn't believe how you & other owners didn't break anything! I reminded him, that's because it is not a taxi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah mate, have to say the car was brilliant, beat the hell out of it all day and clutch issues aside its been faultless.

Scott Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Sounded awesome JP. The 9s are definitely coming mate, sorry to hear about the clutch. Can't believe the way the thing bucked when changing gear (think it was 2nd to 3rd). Sooner the drags are on the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark newman Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Jamie, your 10.1 run, how much Nos did you run , 50 shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) 50 shot but it only works in first gear till the car hits 1.2bar then switches off, its not on long, im changing to a 100 shot to get a bit more power in first gear, was only making 1.8bar on the logs.
