All cars are different - benm's gtst wasnt ALL driver ability - I didn't do much better than ben himself in that car (ben can you remember the numbers?).

low 13's for 200rwkw sounds about right to me for street tyres. I went 12.9 on regular streeters with 190kW and 12.6 on drag radials with no other changes. Suspension in the rear that is too soft is bad too. I have very stiff suspension set up for that type of racing yet it will still 1.66 60'.

benm - I'm DYEING to drive your car! lol

Not forgetting that some R33's are getting to be 13 years old now, those numbers you see for the qtr mile quoting were often done when the cars were near brand new.

Having said that, I had:

R33 Gts-t, 93'.

Catback exhaust, apexi pod and lightened flywheel.

My first time at the drags ever, I had three runs and my best was a 14.4.

I was plenty stoked with that time, to be honest I really wanted to beat 14.5 so I was happy.

I'm sure with more practice the I could have run better, but yeah.

My 2c is that driver ability is going to give you your greatest time advantage at the track.

Eh, boys, u been a great help. Its amazing how many diff opinions are out there.

Ive decided im gonna set boost to 9psi, dyno tune and see how close i get to running a flat 14 with full exhaust, FMIC and POD.

I'll post up the results for all to see

Hopefully I wont lean it out or blow the turbs, as has been suggested by some

I did 14.5 @ 95 with just a cat back - now I have FMIC, full exhaust and bleed valve at 10psi so hopefully I should see 13's!! :)

I was doing 1.9 60 footers too - so thats gotta count !! hahahaha

There isn't really much point "dyno tuning" with the stock ECU, as there is nothing to "tune".

Just get a boost gauge and a bleed valve, head to the track, run it on the stock boost to get a base time, then wind small amounts of boost in until you get to 9psi and see what difference it makes.

the ageement is that low 14's / 14 flat is pretty much stock territory, if it's nicely tuned. If you have a full exhaust things go better and into 13's.

Just go drag racing anyway. It's easier to learn with a car that has a little less power, you will find wheelspin is enough of an obsticle even stock. The more practice you have the better you get anyway. Learning how to best get your car to do the 1/4 takes time, oh.. and breakages.

Good suspention and tyres will make a huge difference no good having power in you cant get it to the ground. gts25t runs 14.4 in factory form so get a good set of tyres, suspention exhaust and intake and a 14 flat may be possible

Okay - someone give me their STOCK R33 gtst and i'll put MY tyres on it and we'll see what's what.

I reckon 14.0's.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
