JAGR33 - ahh yeah now i remember you saying you nearly bought my car...

Yeah Bens a wizard

Are you planning any mods?

Ferni, you must be thinking of somebody else, I already had my GTR when Dean was selling his....

Yeah there are 'a few' mods lined up for the near future, don't wanna say too much right now.....

No way man... about 6500-7000rpm launch...

Ahh okay fair enuf. I've done pretty much all the mods I can to the car without upgrading the turbos (pretty much same as you except I have a powerFC), and I would be very interested to see how it goes on the 1/4 mile now. I'm getting 210kw @ all wheels on a dyno dynamics on 1.2 bar....

When I first ran the car relatively stockish I would do 6500/7000rpm launches and it wouldn't bog down and would launch beautifully, but now with more power and a twin plate I get some wheels spin in launch and also shifting into 2nd. Do you get this as well?

I'm hoping for a flat 12 too... :)

Yeah changing the clutch to a nismo twin plate was a big difference to the standard one, bites much harder, causing wheelspin and chirping between gears....

You should be able to get a flat 12, let us know how you go!!!

Cheers

Yes the clutch has made a huge difference, its grips immediately... having a bit of wheelsping is okay I guess, I'm hoping it means that it won't be such a shock to the drivetrain.

Will post my results here when I run :)

Those are pretty impressive power outputs and impressive times.. i'm keen to take my car to the strip asap.

I have hks cat back exhaust, hks pods, hks intercooler, boost tweak to about 14psi by Ben (racepace), but i'm only pulling 203kw. Hope i can do 12's ...hahah :rant: Looks like i have to get Ben to work it more.

ferni> i was planning to check out dean's car.

still confuses me...i have a good clutch and get just enough spin to get the turbo's spooling and bam..I'm gone, chirp second and sometimes enven 3rd (on 17's, never on 18's)

the runs feel smooth, full bosst the whole run and no 12 flats for me......sniffle sniffle

I have recently bought a r32 GTR

I have removed the boost restrictor

You guys all think it is already a 12 second car?

Its got twin air pods and full 3 inch HKS exhaust?

Will I break my gearbox if I dumped the clutch 100s of times I am scared it will break.

With these mods and a 15 year old car you think the gearbox will still handle the power?

WIll I LUNCH my box at all on 8000rpm Launches?

nicknismo,

From what you are saying, you are hooking up well, your 60 goot times suggest this, and having a good clean run. Unfortunately your best mph suggests you do not have enough power to better your ETs a great deal. How agressive are you with your gear changes...?

That 240kw dyno run might have been in shoot out mode and/or the tuner might have pegged it back a little for safety.

IGOAPE,

I've never heard of anyone breaking their box, running the factory turbos.

Stock turbos:

Exhaust, Filter, Clutch, (removed boost restrictor)

12.2 @ 112

Exhaust, Filter, Clutch, Oil cooler, ECU, FPR, 18psi

11.6 @ 118

(turbo did not last long afterwards.. not recommended to run over 14psi.)

As above, all my R32's that have had stock turbos, exhaust, filter, and the restrictor removed have run consistent low 12's. With a stock clutch it killed it quick however.

If it's not doing that.. then there is either something wrong, or you are driving like an old woman. :(

Stock turbos are well designed and have minimal lag.. that you will loose when going to a steel wheel upgrade like the T28s which will not improve 1/4 times unless they are pushed harder.

Okay lads,

Just got back from WSID (Wednesday 31st March) from a private test session I had booked. The R33 GTR ran 11.82 at 115mph (1.74 60ft) after I made a few tweaks to it. Here is the gear I was running.

turbos - stock set at 1.25-bar

intercooler - stock

injectors - stock

fuel pump - stock

engine - stock

ignition - stock

ECU - Impul (non adjustable)

air filters - HKS pods

Exhaust - HKS dumps and 4-inch (by Liverpool exhaust)

Cam gears - HKS

Boost controller - Turbo-XS bleed valve

Fuel - VP Racing Motorsport-103 (105RON)

clutch - Nismo twin plate

Power output - 249kW at all four on Premier Auto's dyno dynamics dyno - same day

tyres - Falken FK-415 275/30 - 19-inch

suspension - Whiteline 24mm rear sway bar, rear bushes for control arms and cradle mounts.

There you have it lads - a genuine 11 second pass with a near stock GTR, which included full trim and bloody heavy 19-inch wheels! Am I stoked?

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

See it all on the Car Crazy DVD released in May.

Damon

too agressive a gear change and you could end up with my current expensive problem.... 3-4th gear syncro failure :(

my rev limiter launches resulted in lower 60ft times, but I think part of that may have been from heat soak due to back to back runs.

Stock turbos:

Exhaust, Filter, Clutch, (removed boost restrictor)

12.2 @ 112

Exhaust, Filter, Clutch, Oil cooler, ECU, FPR, 18psi

11.6 @ 118

Geez 18psi boost??? that's far too much for stock turbos...

Unfortunately one of my turbos decided to call it a day on the friday night at calder, which probably explains why i couldn't break an 11, and also on sau dyno day on sat was surging and stuggling to crack 200rwkws...

It must be really tired now because as soon as my car hits boost, the power is not there like it used to be...

Oh well, looks like the new turbos i got are going on much quicker than i thought!!!! :)

Yeah sure, I know Dean very well and know the car you bought from him, that's how I know they're very identical....

Gotta love the 'Ben Special Tune'.......

When your ready to race at calder just PM me, we'll meet somewhere.....

hey jack, u bought a new watch yet.

fernis got 8kw on you and i got my money on his car, u cant even break into the 11s, u girl :P

fernis got 8kw on you and i got my money on his car, u cant even break into the 11s, u girl :)

I'm a girl?? Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and take your 'veilside' GTR to calder, and let's see what numbers you can come up with!!!

Hey I would have had a good chance if one of my turbos didn't pack it in.....

12.000 @ 114mph is oh so close to an eleven, I should have taken out the sub box, spare tyre and jack, that would have done it....

Your a cunny funt :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
