from experience you need a bottomless wallet and the patience of a saint lol> low 11's 340awkw>25k+

high 10's 400awkw>35k+

The moral of the story is if your 13.0 sec stocko is boring you then sell it and buy something that has already had lots spent on it and on the way to the 11's you want :P

Agreed Iv seen NOS do the same-Iv also seen NOS blow the shit out of a fair few engines cause a lot of people dont know how to set it up and have a lean out.

Better to spend the dollars and have a proper 11 sec car that can run 11's all night without drama-and that will mean also to upgrade gearbox strenght especially in R32(cause of the age). My choice was the OS Gikon "cross mission" set-it will take the punishment-unlike the factory synchros

However, if you want to run it consistantly, I would go the Power FC/injectors/pump/exhaust/clutch etc.

You can't run consistent 11's using Nitrous Oxide?

Ahem!

...lend your car to a 10sec driver and see what they can do with your 13sec gtr :D

haha thats soooo true ive seen peoplemekin like 200rwkw running high 14s, some people either just cant drive or are scared of brakeing their car.

I used to run NOS and its great-but what i mean is when the NOS runs out so does the fun-Id rather a car that can run the 11 without it :D

id prefer to have a car like adrians that you can drive on the street without the gas still get good mileage, be a breeze for any one to step into and drive down to get the milk and bread, and then be able to go to the track turn te bottle on and run 11's all night, turn the bottle off and drive it home.

ive seen more 10 ans 11sec cars no running the bottle break more often then cars that run it. my engines a stocker with 189000k's on it and i run a 36 shot at the track and ive never had a problem. its all about the tuners ability to whether you have problems. like most car modifications 60% of people try to do it on the cheap and in the long run things break and it costs them more.

my bottle lasts me for around 40 full noise passes so i have filled it 3 times in a year at $50 a fill. thats cartainly a lot cheaper than cams, plenum, TB, etc

im all for the GAS

Simple answer to this thread,

There is no "easy" way to run consistant and reliable 11's, it takes time and money, regardless of what car/engine package you have.

Quit dreaming, make a plan and work through it until you reach your goal... 11's.

EDIT: Unless you have 140K+ to spend on some exotic :D

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
