Steve Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That last run seemed to hook up very well after those tweaks. Shame you couldn't get in one more run before the rain at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyspeed Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Congrats on that time. I saw your first run and it looked like you didn't get going until the halfway down the track and still managed a 141mph terminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Nice time Jurgen! That terminal shows a very healthy dose of power - perhaps not as conservative as you were originally gonna go this time? Interested to hear your 60ft / launch control used / tyres used info? Sounds like these R35's are excellent at getting great launches out of normalish tyres with their top 4wd setups.

scoooby slayer Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 awesome 9.7 @ 150 as thats your fist time out i guess theres more to come to ? a highly tuned r35 gtr is imo just about the best all round car money can buy, just need £150000 to buy/build one.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Congrats on that time. I saw your first run and it looked like you didn't get going until the halfway down the track and still managed a 141mph terminal. i just did normal driving 1st and 2nd gear and then booted it in 3rd to warm it up.. That last run seemed to hook up very well after those tweaks. Shame you couldn't get in one more run before the rain at the end. yup we managed to nail the 60ft time at the end and were ready to turn up the boost a tad and a bit more launch. sadly ran out of time.. Nice time Jurgen! That terminal shows a very healthy dose of power - perhaps not as conservative as you were originally gonna go this time? Interested to hear your 60ft / launch control used / tyres used info? Sounds like these R35's are excellent at getting great launches out of normalish tyres with their top 4wd setups. power wise is maybe a little more than last time ;-). we have the syvecs launch control syste and micky thompsons street radials. only managed one real run as we were testing the top end, then the launch..(did 5 runs only) we got the chance to try it on run 4 but low on fuel so coasted, fuel trip. so filled it up with race fuel and managed 1.66 and 9.7 @150,.. just about to go again and try and beat that time but the rain came.

dr_jekyll Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 the launch on those gtrs was amazing. cant help to to say the old supes were somwhat out shone on the strip yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 the launch on those gtrs was amazing. cant help to to say the old supes were somwhat out shone on the strip yesterday They can launch but I think you're doing Supras an injustice there - I managed a 1.64 sec 60ft on the same DR's with my piddly 400bhp.

listy Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 On one of the videos did I not see a black supe beat a gtr? Sure I did and I'm guessing it was Jamies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARETT Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Nicely done Jurgen, it's a shame Kev wasnt very graceful about it on the GTR forum, but I know how bad the track was and if you come on a test and tune day it's a guaranteed low 9 and maybe high 8 with more power.

sideexitsupra Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Don't know who it was, but there was a lady in the grandstand videoing and pretty sure she got your last run. She was in the grandstand farthest away from the start line. Anyone know who it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) The launch was setup for only a 4000rpm launch at moment which compared to how hard I had the cars in the US launching is very tame but a transmission is not cheap and Jurgen drives to the track and back so I will always go slow and analysis data before turning stuff up. This car will easily do a 1.4 60ft which will straight away put it down to an 9.3. Then we have more boost to play with Great day though Edited July 8, 2012 by Ryan.G (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Animal of a car with some stunning looks! glad i got to see it run and i know your not finished yet , so best of luck with it all Jurgen. Nice to meet you too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
