Hi there,

Ok I currently have an R33 gts-t ser 2 with the following mod's:

-Boost set to 11/12 psi

-CAI with Pod filter

-Full 3" exhaust (one piece front dump from turbo, hi flow cat and the trust cat back exhaust)

-Oil/air seperator

-Font mount I/C (Apexi Hybrid)

-17" 235x45 front and 17"255x40 rear

Should be about 180/190 rwkw's.

I guess my aim is about a 13.5 second run 0-400 meters. I am not looking at changing injectors or internals of the RB25det.

To me the car feels average (because I'm so used to it...).

I would like some advice from those out there that were in the same situation or know about this.

Should I go down the path of getting the turbo high flowed and replace the shafts with steel units?

And if I did this will an SAFC work well?? (don't really want an power FC)

Keep in mind I don't really want to totally change turbo's or waste too much money.. The most I want to spend from here is about $2K ($500 for SAFC and $1500 for hi flowed turbo).

Can anyone also tell me what sort of rwkw's I could get from the above? And will this help me net a sub 13.5 second QTR mile run?

Thanks for your help

Rob

Forget launching at 3,500rpm.

If I launch @ 2,000rpm my car just wheelspins and then drives off, If I launch at 2,500rpm with a full car load - (200+ kg's extra over the back wheels) it sits and spins even more.

I find giving it about 1,500-1,700rpm works best for me (but then again my tyres are sh1t).

Go grab yourself a fuel regulator and an exhaust cam gear and give it some more tuning and you'll crack the 13's.

Thanks for all your reply's.

Just wanted to clarify a few things,

1) Some of you say it is possible to crack a 13.5 (taking into consideration driver skill), Is this with a high flowed turbo and SAFC or with what I currently have?? (should I just get an SAFC and leave turbo?)

2) Has anyone actually high flowed their turbo (and replaced shafts with steel unit's)? How successful was it?

At some stage I will go to Eastern Creek for a run (never done it before... should be fun).

Thanks

Rob

I've got a consistant 13.5sec car and I didn't have a hiflow or a S-afc to get there.

I'd forget about the guessing and go hit the track. You will need some experience to make the most of any mod when it counts 1/4 or otherwise. Besides you go down to the track to have fun, not to show off your times (you do that when you go home and post it on the forum :) ).

Once again thanks for the replies.

this may be a frequent quetion, but what is involved in running down the Qtr mile???

Are there any days where the strip is just for Skyline Australia members etc.. (EG. Dyno Days) that get organised?

I would love to take it down to Eastern Creek and try my luck... Can anyone tell me if there is a specific day (like every month) that you can run your car or is it every night.. etc..

also is it any different launching on a drag strip to street??? I've heard tyres stick better to a drag strip...

Thanks

Rob

At Eastern Creek they have off-street drags every second wednesday. The track does have better grip because

- the track is warmer from the other cars that have raced before you

-your tyres can be warmer cause you can do a fully sik burnout as you come forward to the christmas tree lights

-and finally the EC staff put some crap on the track to help it grip more so yes you can launch a lot quicker on a track than on the street.

OK as for the actual Drags, you need to be there between 3:00pm and 6:50 pm to be in for the drags that night. Its $45 per driver and $35 for the second driver if you have one.

Its on the second wednesday of every month and a fornight after that.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
