Best Setup for Drag
Ran the V35 last night and was a little disappointed.
I had 6 runs with a best of 14.53@96.56mph.
It's not so much the time but the fact that in 6 runs I had 4 miss shifts between 2nd and 3rd gear the other 2 runs I had to be careful and take it easy on that upshift.
I'm not the greatest driver in the world but with 13 years of competitive rallying and various motorsport events over 25 years I'm no dummy when it comes to changing gears but for me to do it 4 times in one night is unheard of.
I fitted a Rogue short shift kit a few weeks ago and initially hated it but it loosened up a little but I think it is just not for me (missus hates it too) as it feels shorter but there seems to be a loss of gate definition in my car.
I've got a track night next week so it will be removed before then
I'll post the slip if anyone is interested.
For interest I lost to 3 R32 GTR's an EVO 6.5 and a R33GTS-T(had him on toast but a 2nd to 5th shift doesn't help) and beat a R33GTS-T.
The officials had a Golf cart for moving around and I wanted to run that to have a chance

Get that 60' time down! On a stock setup you should be able to hit a 2.0 60'. A good rule of thumb is for every tenth off your 60 equals 1.5 tenths off the big end of the track.
14.530 with a 2.319 60'
14.080 with a 2.0 60'
A little cooler weather and a 13sec timeslip is yours

Are you sure your shifter plate is adjusted properly? I have the rogue too and found that it is very postive. When the dealer replaced my tranny under warranty, apparently the morons that worked on my car didn't know how to adjust a shifter (afterall, shifters are fairly new to the automotive seen......yes, I am being sarcastic)...anyway, it was extremely sloppy the whole way home and had trouble finding just about every gear, especially 5th. After I adjusted it, it was back to normal which is a big improvement over stock. Still not perfect, but then again the moron behind the wheel (meaning me) isn't either.

If you have seen timeslips or posts that show otherwise, I'd like to see them please.
