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.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
