hehehe... thats an awesome first attempt though :D getting the 60fts down is the hardest thing i reckon! i usually range from 1.8 (best run) to 2.2... i dread going back out there cause i'll be back to square 1 :D

i do want to know 2rismos technique :D all i remember doing it slipping the clutch a lil then all hell breaks loose! lol!

Lolz i was in ONE of the 3-4 of the White R33 Gts25t that night with GTR32 rims up front and 300zx (z32) rims on the rear and the BIG white HKS sticker across the windscreen.

you should of done the burnout, still helps on street rubber just no need to do a monster SMOKEY one. (cough) but seems to work for Moanie on her street rubber(cough) sub 2.0 60ft on 225 federals ey.

lol!!! for me its not so much the warm tyres as its for the smoke show.. think after all the stalls and bad attempts, i revel in the fact that i can do a semi decent one :laugh:

I miss my sig :domokun: what happened to it :(

yeah the silver one was mine. i saw a few white 33s there but didnt get the chance to talk. which car were you in?

it makes a bit over 250kw on the dyno so i was expecting much better times. obviously something wrong with my technique.

tyres are bridgestone s03n 255/17 at the rear. i lowered them to 24psi but did not do any burnouts been told they(burnouts) are ineffective with street tyres.

ive tried a normal take off which was my second run, launched with 2500rpm (as what Ben told me to try) it bogged down intially then as soon as it hits 4000-4500rpm (full boost) wheel spin began again until second gear :laugh:

rubbish.smoke thosse tyres up.the tracks coating reacts to a tyre's heat.

i went half a second quicker after i smoked the tyres good.learn how to do a burnout starting in 2nd gear.it wont break anything.just dont go dumping it like you would in 1st gear.prolong the burnout.

you should be able to get much better grip off the line.but another thing.dont just dump it.

if you have a dyno sheet have a look at where the torque of the engine kicks in and or when boost starts to ramp on hard.launch just below that so at least the car is in motion when your power really starts to kick in and you should feel it give you a harder shove in the seat than you have previously experienced because your not wheelspining your tyres are gripping.hopefully :domokun:

and if you can get you head arround to slipping the clutch and feeding the acc on the launch to reduce wheelspin thatd be the way to go also.you will find less wheelspin and faster times.

and get quick as u can.smooth gear changes.

Assume most of you guys are using drag radials? If so, what tyre pressure are you running?

Drop them down to 13-15psi if you're not doing so already. Add in a decent burnout (2nd gear) and launch the car by slipping the clutch from 5000-5500rpm (2rismo assured me I wouldn't break anything by doing this and I'm happy to say I haven't done so yet :D ) and you should see an easy 1.8** 60' time or better.

Takes a bit of practise and I've stuffed it up enough times to know, but when done right, there's nothing stopping you from dropping all the way to 1.6** 60'.

Save a tenth at the 60' mark and you should drop at least 2 tenths off your ET :)

GooD luck CHris! remember:

-remove spare tyre+tools/jack

-1/4 tank of fuel

-lower tyre pressure to 20-25psi

-NICE BIG BURNOUT FOR MOANIE!

-DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!<as 2rismo would say>

ooh and skip dinner too for less weight :)

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
