It will vary quite abit (im speaking 1/4 mile times) depending on:

* Tyres

* Track

* Mods

* Driver

* Track Temperature

* Car Tuning

* etc, etc, etc, etc.

What im basically saying is that just coz Joe Blow has this n that done to his car doesn't mean its capable of running a 13.xx or a 12.xx

dremen,

I ran a 13.4 and a bunch of 13.5's with:

Std ecu, std intercooler, std turbo 10psi.

Full exhaust, light flywheel and standard airbox with a replacement K&N element.

I ran a 13.8 without the light flywheel.

then again your mate is a guru so I must have dreamt it all (even the time slips I have posted).

low 14 is very possible with a near stock R33 (cat back/filter, standard boost).

With front mount/exhaust and boost with the right launch, decent set of rubber it will be good for a high 13 easily.

I ran a 14.2 with cat back/filter and standard everything else including boost.

13.981s at Calder Park on a cool night. Most other R33 were running mid-14s that night. I think i can get closer to a mid-13 with my setup.. see "13.4s time for stockish R33" in Forced Induction" section for all talk about this sort of thing.

Practice and grip is the key. BOV does jack all.

DREMEN: i use stock suspension and i think lots of ppl think its the best :D

-well if u use aftermarket e.g Bilstein shockies+springs, u better get rear camber adjust if u lower ur car(skyline's dont like lowering,wrong camber will cause excessive camber hence wheelspin)

-pineapples to reduce axle tramp

-anti lift kit perhaps?

(the stuff i said above was quoted 1200-1300 for me)

p.s i seen a few ppl using "drift" suspension and getting terrible times

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
