I want my car to run mid to high 12s. Heres my plan:

Trust V-SPL coola 600x270x76

K&N pod with cai

Full stainless 3" exhaust including dump

s-afc

boost at 12-13psi

255 street tyres

everything else stock

Will that be enough? I may also add a heavy duty clutch if I need it. At the moment the only mods I've got are a cat back zorst and k&n pod and best so far is a 14.307@98mph on 205 tyres at normal inflation.

What hope do I have?

With those mods you want you should get about a 13.2?

Youll need a bigger turbo, T3/4 or TO4 should do the trick with a larger fuel pump and fuel pressure reg. Dont run huge boost due to high compression in 33's.

Z32 AFM

550cc injectors

reduce the pressure in your rear tyres.

Knock your timing to around 18 degrees.

Run very good fuel 100+RON

Make sure tuning is spot on.

That should get into the 12's if you know how to launch well.

Mate,

Check out my 13.4 'how to' thread. Do what I did. It will cost less and if you add the 255 tyres (I'd go simex to get more traction for your $$$) you might crack the 12's without the S-afc.

If you can get the 60ft down to 1.9 a 12.9second pass is on the cards if the car is a carbon copy of mine. Think about it 12sec pass without any extra fuel management.

here is my thread about the 12sec. pass.

I checked out that thread... the reason for starting this one :) . Over your setup I'll have a full zorst, pod with cai, safc, 3psi more boost, and bigger tyres... minus the flywheel and pineapples. That should be worth more than half a second right???

I have a full exhaust, the turbo to cat is thermo wrapped.

The Pod isn't any better than the K&N panel filter I have.

There are plenty of guys with a S-afc, more boost and big tyres and such who don't even crack a high 13, let alone a mid 13. What you are proposing dozens of people have already done and have not achieved even 13's let alone 12's.

The pineapples are a 'must have'.

The flywheel alone is worth 4 tenths.

The larger intercooler might hinder your 1/4 mile time if you are using the stock turbo, unless its rated to 300HP or just under. Besides I don't think you need to spend the money there to get the 12's your after.

Have fun trying, I know I always do.:)

OK so basically with the setup above plus pineapples, light flywheel, high flowed turbo, slicks, all professionally tuned, and with me learning to launch it properly, 12s are possible.

A few quick questions,

rev210: why the pineapples? You say pods arnt any better than panel filters. So why is it that almost any hi po car in magazines use pods not panels?

meggala: did you shave almost a second off by just having good tyres/suspension setup? Do you recommend hard or soft suspension?

Matt - he has a 1995 model. I swear the 1995 ECU's have different maps. When I run mine up on a dyno I'll try the 1995 and the 1993 ECU's I have and compare.

I found a web site in Japan that quoted all the different firmware updates for the nissan ECU's, and just in the R33 GTS-t's there is about 7 different versions !!!! But they didn't say what the differences were :D

Rev210 - a bit off topic, but did you wrap your front/dump pipe in thermal wrap while it was still on the car, or was the pipe off when you did it??? I'm thinking about doing mine and I just hope I don't have to take the damn thing off to do it :)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
