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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
