Hey guys, just interested in what sort of times most of you n/a owners out there are pulling. My bro has a r33 gts and i just think his is an absolute freak of a skyline (theres a fair bit a driver skill involved, he really knows his car), but there hasnt been a stock n/a skyline that has beaten him and its pretty common for him to knock off stockish s13,s14,15,r32,r33 etc etc. So im keen to see what times in particular stockish r33's are pulling (no nos), but anyother n/a skyline owners that would like to share that would be good reading aswell. So i'll just give you the run down on my bros car and if you can follow a simular format that would make things easy to keep track.

thanks :P

Im finding that very very hard to believe.. 245's are also very big tyres for an NA 33 to turn.. would like to see i time slip, MPH, air temp and RA, see sig for qtr times..

Edited by NA_R33

i dont have a timeslip but i can do you one better, i've uploaded the footage onto youtube i'll put a link in the next post cause i'm waiting for it to finish "processing" as it says on youtube

The car is definately running 245 wide tyres but they barely fit on his rims, the tyre fitter told him that he shouldnt really fit them and if they pop off he wasnt to be held liable lol, thats confidence for ya

I have no doubt there are freak cars out there and have a very good understanding of how and y it occurs. My car had headers, Tune, as mush timing as it would take custom cold air... When HPI did the NA supra Vs. Skyline Article the test drivers couldnt better a 15.7, A blueprinted engine with the same mods is not going to run over a second faster, especially with heavy rims and tyres...

Does the car run these times consistantly, or was it a timing glitch?

the car has run lots of 14 seconds passes, and has run 14.6 on three seperate occasions, with the quickest being the 14.60 on the video.

Theres nothing special about this car mod wise, stock motor, ecu etc etc, the only things changed is the igntion timing, cold air and a catback.

I just think it is a freak, every now and then you run into a stock car that does things it shouldnt.

So noone else here has cracked a 14s pass on the stock n/a?

sure your brother doesnt have a GTST?

hahaha no, its a stock gts. No turbo, no nos, no nothing. You can hear it in the video, its got the n/a exhaust tone.

There was a guy in a white 33 gtst on the same night running power fc, fmic, full zorst and i think boost around 12psi on the stock turbo and the best he got on the night was a 14.6 aswell hahaha, examples of people who can and cant drive.

On a side note, my bro has no mechanical sympathy, hes the type of guy that can just belt a car all day long, years on end and nothing will break lol lucky bastard

i've been mucking around with cars for a few years now and i can definately tell you this motor is stock, no "blue printing" no reground cams no aftermarket computer it is completely STOCK besides the mods i listed. And if anyone would know, my bro who has been a mechanic for quite a while now would know.

The car pulled 123rwhp and once again youtube will verify this once it has been uploaded woooohooo ;) (you will notice abit of smoke after the pull, good old piston blow-by lol)

This was done with a blocked cat, and the cat was replaced before the drags, which would of added around another 10hp i would say

if you can get a hold of a dyno graph that would be sweet.

simply put.. 120RWHP (90ish RWKW), does not equate to a mid-14 quarter mile in a full weight r33.

there must be a reason for it... and i'd like to find out and do whatever it is for myself ;)

that seems ways to quick the best i could get was a couple of 15.4/15.5s with mine when it was na and had a few bolt on's, you sure theres no flywheel drivline tranny diff mods?? i cant believe a stock na would be able to pull that time theres got to be something to.

is the ecu been modded??

okay, i'll just give you a quick run down with the dyno run cause its not a true indicator of the real power.

That dyno is extremely harsh for power readings, when my celica had a stock turbo on it it pulled 205fwhp on that dyno and i pulled a 13.3 down the quarter which didnt really reflect its power, so i went to a different dyno and pulled 267fwhp with the same mods. Now with that in mind, when that dyno run was down the car was having trouble beating my other bros twin cam corolla, but as soon as the cat was fixed he chopped it. So i would expect around 150ish hp on a "normal" dyno.

Once again, this car is STOCK STOCK STOCK STOCK STOCK. No ecu upgrades, No cams, the motor has not been touched besides the regular oil changes and timing belt. No lighten flywheel, it has a stock clutch, with stock lsd diff, and no super dooper carbon tailshaft. My bro has owned this car for about 8 years now and bought it from a car yard that imported it direct from japan and it was completely standard (standard intake, exhaust etc).

Simple things help to get this time, like he is one very harsh driver, the gearbox crunches every gear in daily driving but he still belts the shit out of it.

Fuel light is always on when he races to help save weight, same with the spare tyre and jack etc for the same reason. Theres heaps of little things you can do to help which seems like common sense but i constantly see cars go down with a full tank of fuel and i just shake my head, thats an extra 50kg that could of easily been taken off.

The main reason i started this thread was to see what times a stock skyline should pull cause i definately know his is a freak, pure and simple, i just didnt know that he was on average a second quicker than what the benchmark is. It maybe hard to believe, but like i said before it is stock

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
