R33 GTR ('95) with:

- Apexi filters

- HKS front pipe

- 3'' high flow cat

- Dual N1 Apexi cat back exhaust

- 13 psi

- adj. cam gears

- standard clutch (slipping on 3rd and 4th run)

12.391 @ 107mph - Calder Park

Now have Nismo twin plate clutch, interesting to see difference

GAWD I CANNT WAIT!!!

I've already got :

HKS cat back exhaust

HKS Pods

Removed boost restrictor

Very soon I'm getting :

Power FC

Adjustable Cam gears

Inevitably at the same time I'm told a twin plate will need to replace the clutch that will turn to mash after I drive out of the tuners.

R33 GTR

HKS super Drager exhaust

HKS front pipe

HKS super power flow air filters

Apexi power fc (not tuned yet running very rich and pining very badly above 6000rpm far from ideal!)

13 psi boost

button clutch

huge custom intercooler 600x300x115 (not really needed at this power level)

Done on the worst dragstrip in australia

12.63@110mph

60ft 1.847

Personally, I ran 12.74 on stock turbos at 1 bar, air filters and Apexi GT Spec cat back exhaust and 4" Trust Drag IC. I suspect my slow time was due to running crap tyres and breaking traction all the way through 1st and second with a massive 208 Kw @ the wheels and a 60' of 2.3.

HIRISK, a regular on SAU ran 11.57 on stock GTR turbos earlier last year. Although he had other minor mods, the stock turbos held up fine.

Check out the article at http://www.fullboost.com.au/cars/featureca...tr32_shaun.html

Emre has also run 11 second runs on stock turbos with minor mods.

My 60' time was 1.850

Launched at 6500 rpm (standard clutch at the time, boy did it cop a beating that night, twin plate went in the following week coz of excessive slippage)

Running on 265/35/18 Bridgestone G'Grids

215 rwkws

Getting into 11's is not very hard and costly with GTR's... You need about 250kw at the wheels and 115mph.

I got 250kw with exhaust, cam gears and boost, everything else was stock.

Launches are very important but not tyre dependant to a great degree. I managed 1.77 and 1.73 sec. 60 foot times with Ziex's and 1.72 with Bridgestone 540's.

Theoretically yes, definitely.

You need to get the 1.7sec 60 foot and 115mph to do it in a GTR, with the same power but less weight GTS-T you should get more mph and be able to do it with a 1.8 60 footer. The trick is to nail that 60 foot and follow it with a very good run. Although i don't flat change you still have to be fairly aggressive with your gear changes. Considering we judge our cars' performance within that 0.1 of a sec. you gotta realize how clean you run has to be. Slow or missed gearchanges, loosing traction into 2nd or 3rd,hitting the rev limiter briefly will all cost you that 0.1 sec. or more that may be all the difference.

For comparison, i also did 12.1 @ 115 mph with 1.89 60 foot and 12.3 @ 115 mph with 2.05 60 foot.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
