Suspension or Power?

[Bleach1]

I have a standard r33 GTST. I am wanting to get into some Track days, Tarmac Rallys or the odd hill climb. Basically i want to do a bit of work to get some better times and was wondering what would have a greater improvement on lap times, Suspension or HorsePower? I am eventually going to do both sides of it but was either concidering a whiteline suspension kit or a 3inch exhaust and front mount, then raise the boost. 1/4 racing istnt o important to me at the moment.

Anyway i just wanted to know what side of the mods would give better lap times.

i agree with nitesky...get the car handling right on the track 1st before thinking of throwing in more horses...

Unfortunately better tyres, better suspension will do more for you than outright kilowatts. Safer too.

suspension, tyres and brakes then power.

handling is what makes fast cars

straight line or corners

What I have learned in 20+ years of club level motorsport:

Step 1. Make it stop

Step 2. Make it handle.

Step 3. Make it go.

and don't forget to modify the driver too! Training and practice will improve your times more than a shiny front mount intercooler ever will.

Best mod is sticky (r type) tyres.

Circuit is about carrying speed through corners, not how many ponies it pulls on the dyno.

Werd duncan!
