Hi guys, My 1994 R33 GTS-T is slower than what is should do. 0-100 i get about 8.5secs. This i have been told is extemely sluggish for a RB25 Turbo. Is there any reason for this. i should add that the car is immaculate with 72k on the clock and has been meticulously maintained. It is also however an auto. But upon purchasing the vehicle i thought it would be slightly quicker.

any ideas on why this is, or is it just because its an auto. or is there something wrong?

Thanks heaps guys

autos are poo, they suck the power outta motors. If your r33 is stock, ie stock boost, exhaust etc, i wouldnt expect it to be any quicker that what you stated. Stick a exhaust on it and pump and bit more boost into it and you will be happy, but honestly with the stock auto it will be more of a cruiser that a drag machine

man i got an auto and stock it was going lots better than that prob's bout 7 or so.. auto's don't really suck power cause i converted mine and have since switched it back to auto found better driving

you had an auto, swap it to manual then swapped it back to auto?? the only way i can see you have a better driving car with the auto is if you left the stock auto diff in there when you did the conversion, that would give you tall as diff ratios making the car feel less responsive and sluggish, but anyway back to this guy.

How did you time the 8.5s? stop watch? did you do it or a mate? if it was just a stop watch recording dont be surprised if you have over a second difference because of reaction times to hit start/stop. How did you launch? Did to stall it up a bit? Did you manually hold 1st, and second gear to let it rev out? little things like this can make all the difference. But like i said before, a stock 33 isnt a super quick car, do a few BPU and they become more fun.

Hey thanks for the input guys. in the 0-100 test i didn't stall it up at all, and yes my mate did use a stopwatch lol.

Also sometimes my car feels alot faster than other times, the autoseems to shift better or something. also do turbo's drive better in the cold?

hahaha good old stop watch. Have a couple more go's and try to stall it up abit and that number will drop slightly. Any car will be quicker at night time cause of the colder air, but for a turbo car it makes a much more noticable difference, especially if you get a FMIC

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
