I'd like to think the R33 GTST does it in 6 secs though I think 7 is more like it (based on experience in other cars where reliable times are available). I know import magazine did it in 6.2 or 6.3 though I don't know how reliable their figures are.

Motor magazine time the R33 GTR at 5.65 to 100. They had a passenger and a full tank of fuel. They thought that it could be reduced by another half second if they were close to empty.

0-100km/h quoted times depend on so many factors, which is why I only gave ballpark figures. Quoting the times from one magazine means SFA - there is no guarentee that on that day in those conditions they acheived the best the car is capable of.

Also, a seat of the pants experience is not quantifiably comparable, as so much of how quick a car feels depends on the power delivery and torque curve, rather than peak power and outright acceleration. A car with a very flat torque curve from idle to redline might feel slower than an equally quick turbo car with a huge mid range surge of torque that pins you into your seat.

For your Motor reference, remember that a few years back at PCOTY Motor clocked the Bentley Contineltal GT at over 6 seconds for 0-100km/h. Does this mean that this is the best the AWD 411kw Bentley is capable of? No.

So I stand by my previous ballpark figures.

I agree that quoting one magazines time is no indication of what the car can necessarily do though it is what it did do on that day. So it is capable of what I have quoted. I have never seen any other reliable source provide a figure.

You are right in that a seat of the pants feel is not necessarily accurate. The cars that I compare it to have flatter torque curves than the Skyline and feel very similar in speed. Given that these cars in numerous other tests do it in around 6.8 seconds and using what you have said above, this would indicate that these cars are slightly faster than the GTS25T.

Don't get me wrong, I would like to think the GTS25T can do it in around 6secs (as I own one), I just don't think they can. Maybe I just own a slow one or I can't drive.

im guessing that the figures mentioned for the gtr are with dumping the clutch at 7K rpm. I think if you had to be nice to the car the r33 gtr would be in the low 6s when stock. This is also what autospeed found. The gts25t would be easily in the 7s (its not a quick car when stock).

well paul has done 0-100km/h in 4.88 seconds with maybe 180-190rwkw in a 33 GTS-t...so id say a GTR with more power and 4wd can beat that

Didnt really answer his question the key word here was stock. There are so many factors involded in times and remember when they are tested they use professional drivers and the give the car its all.

5 flat with a 7k clutch dump, maybe even just under with a decent clutch and sticky tyres.

gtst probably under 7 but not by much

I easily managed to do 0-100 in 6.5sec in my totally stock standard '98 R33 GTS25t (other than wheels/springs)....I didn't do a tyre/clutch frying launch either.

This was measured with a Greddy turbo timer in 0-100km/h attack mode (it's hooked up to ecu speed sensor).

So I definitely believe they're capable of low 6's in standard trim...

    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
    • Wanted to follow up on this. Did you end up getting the M073? Still deciding on what to get between nismo m073-79 and plazaman.  
    • I was just watching these boys up in QLD AWD'ing their S13 too.  
    • Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?
