Well here is the story...I have a bog stock R33 S2 GTS-T Manual *4Door Sedan*

Anyway my mate has a R33 S1 Coupe running 14psi, front mount, full exhaust with a split dump & was going to run his so i thought i would go watch...anyway i never planned on racing as i finished work late but he called me & said there was not much people so i took my helmet & rego just in case...when i got there was was not many cars lining up to register so i thought what the heck.

Correct me if i am wrong but specs for a R33 Coupe say 14.7 for a stocker down the qtr so i was thinking since mine is an odd 40kg heavier being a sedan plus i had a full tank of ultimate which i filled night before plus i have a sub in my boot etc that i would run a low 15 or at best a really late 14

First pass was a bit nervous & stuffed up & it bogged down a bit after initial axle tramp but to my suprise i got a 14.6 with a 2.2 60ft & 95mph...i was like what tha f-ck? thats awesome

Next pass i took my air filter panel out of box to see if it went better. Again off start i bogged down again but only just & it squatted nicely off the line but missed my change from 3rd to 4th & hit limiter for a second or two & was amazed to pull a 14.3 with a 2.0 60ft & 96mph

3rd pass gave a bit too much off the line & spun & only did a 14.5 with a 2.3 60ft at 96pmh

14.5.PDF

Last pass totally stuffed it...bogged on take off & then went from 2nd into 5th so did a 16.1 hehe with a 2.3 60ft

Anyway i was totally surprised & I reckon on a colder night with newer tyres less fuel & sub etc out i could pull very close to a 14.1

What do you guys think & what have other stockies run before?

oh & also without air filter panel felt alot more throttle response but also noticed it blew a bit of black smoke when i backed off ie running a bit rich...when i put panel back in still blew a tiny bit of smoke but barley as much?

why is that?

I think croat likes Drag Radials now. 7/10's off the PB in one meeting isn't bad at all.

Also, Noofa (Nathan) from Bezerkly Automotive had his first shot at racing last night in his R32 4-door. Straight into the 13's with a 13.9 @ 98mph is awesome for a first go. Huge congrats.

What do you guys find is the best launch technique?

I found that lower revs (2000-2500rpm) dumping it with a bit of axle tramp/hop & bog was better than higher revs (3000+rpm) slipping the clutch or just dumping with a little bit of wheelspin controlled by throttle

Noel is your car TOTALLY stock?

Stock Exhaust

Stock Intercooler

Stock Rims

Stock Boost

etcetc?

What brand/size tyres were you running?

Impressive time either way!

:rofl:

Stock as they come...Only thing i have done is put a MP3 Player, Sub & Amp hehe

Tyres are Bridgestone Potenzas r16 205/55 i think about 50% tread

Oh...i did let tyres down to about 22psi (from 33psi) also

NSCC = Nissan Sports Car Club.

Let's just say that SAU and WSID aren't on the greatest of terms these days, so your best bet is to try and tag onto a private track hire day organised by another club - in addition to the club's mentioned by Ben, v8owners.com.au (i think) also organise them fairly regularly.

Private track days are excellent though - I got over 20 runs at the last SAU day and could have had plenty more.

im planing on going out in the next few weeks....I have a fairly stock r33 96 S2, just a pod and getting a split dump, 5"cat and 3" all the way. What kind of times should i be aiming for?

from my times in a dead stocker if you can get a 2.0-2.2 60ft you should crack a 13.9-14.1 i reckon with about 98-100mph with your mods...what do the rest of you think?

    • I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.
    • Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...
    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
