12.6's....on the standard turbo, I bet you still get mugs trying to tell you you have a high flow. I remember the looks of disapointment people had when they looked under the bonnet of my old gtst. At least yours has some bling front mount and carbon bonnet for people to say 'ooh ahh' at in the lanes.

I don't suppose the drag racing bug has you looking at altered dragsters yet does it? There's a category for people the french foregin legion won't let in.

250 shot ready yet?

Yes, that's right.

Yes, sadly they do.

HongKongSpecial Intercooler but no CFRP on the car at all. The bonnet just has a vent in it.

Late-model, turbo, injected bikes w/out wheelie bars are the new outcasts. Injected/rotary/4/6cyl cars get 28 new comp brackets and they can't get one?!?! WTF?!?!

250hp shot? Hahaha.... Out of interest though, my car makes 255hp (190kW) @ the rears without nitrous and 355hp (265kW) with it. That's with the 100hp jetting. Funny that huh?!?!

Adrian

Yes 250rwhp and yet people with supposedly more (on a dyno) can't run that fast....

Perhaps the dyno should be used only as a tuning tool and not for a 'look at mine' sport.

I totally believe a stock turbo can produce eleventy billion horsepower on a dyno (actually I don't really care) it's just that in the real world cars drive on roads not rollers so getting the stock turbo to run 12's on the 1/4 in a street trim R33 whale seems far more interesting.

incredibly sir

i was addressing the post above mine which suggested that our cars will all begin pinging at 13 psi....

Most agreeable then.

For a second there I thought you'd lost it.. :(

2rismo ran 12.6 with only 190kw at the rear wheels?

12.68 @ 107.09 mph - 1.78 60' - 3230lb race weight (me included obviously).

Plenty of other people have run 108mph but don't launch as well and therefore have slower ET's.

i just hit up the drags a few weeks back,

my car is an r33 with stock turbo (0.8bar of boost), hks-cat back, trust front pipe, stock dump, air filter + cai, fmic, ebc and coilovers. (car is kindof setup for drift, suspension wise, the rear was abit bumpy off the line and down the track)

and i was running

13.854 second

Terminal speed: 102.26mph / 165.15kph

Reaction Time: 0.230

60' - 2.261

330' - 5.983

660' - 9.038

660' Speed - 130.69kph

1000' - 11.643

i suck at launch thou, 2000,2500rpm :

Like lots of people with R33's your car had money spent on various mods that made it actually slightly slower or didn't improve anything. I would have left the intercooler alone (it's a silly mod for a stock turbo anyway) and done the dump pipe.

I still maintain that you can take a pretty stock R33 gtst and make it generally faster with the factory intercooler than 99% of the fmic equiped cars going around. Give me an good aftermarket core for the side mount and the remaining 1% won't keep up over the 1/4mile either.

the good news is you can get it down to 13.6 or so pretty easy if you can drop 0.1 or so off the 60ft

I ran 13.8's with :

Stock turbo.

Stock intercooler

Turbo back exhaust.

pineapples

205 tyres.

consistant 13.4's with:

above

+ lightweight flywheel

Turbo 33's all have vvt and the s2 engines have a very similar turbo to the 34's(plastic front wheel).

My 289rwhp(stock turbo) took my car to a 12.7 @ 107 mph. It was a commodore ute but still weighed over 1400kg's..

Looks like the car hooked up ok off the line, you got another tenth or so there with that terminal.

What diff ratio and gearbox did you have?

My R33 is making 265hp with full 3" exhaust, air filter and safc at stock boost (9psi)

I've run a 13.4@105mph, 2.18 60'.

Hoping for 12s with fmic and power fc soon...

If your keeping the stock turbo for this attempt you don't need a fmic at all to do the time. Power FC is a good bet though.

Hey rev210,

Having an auto R33 and not doing over the top mods, what sort of time should one get? and if you don't mind could you list some mods that would help or you recommend? I've seen that you said you had pineapples on, sorry I'm not familiar with what they are (I know it's for better traction) , is it anything major and would effect everyday driving etc?

What I've don so far to it:

3" turbo back exhaust

POD (making an enclosed shield for it)

Stock intercooler

Bigger turbo (not boosted yet)

Cheers!

had mine dynoed at hyper drive (r33 s2)

it's stock turbs with fmic,pob filter,3" dump and zorst std boost setting

did 256rwhp, lumpy said that was alittle high but normal enough

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
