my last car was r33 with the same mods,,and the best i got was 14.2,after like 10 runs,never tryd letting tyres down tho,might give that ago with my 32,ive noticed over the last couple of weeks most stockish r33s struggle to even get mid 14s,and most 32s are even slower than that,makes me scared to think my 32 might run a 15,no!

It's been that way for a long time in terms of slow ET's with GTST's , it's just very basic setup issues made worse by people rushing out and buying the cheapest FMIC's and other crap without thought to getting the things they already have working well.

I've breifly owned a R32 gtst that ran low 13's with the stock turbo (better tyres though), they aren't shabby, almost equal to the R33 in potential from a mild setup point of view.

I'll probably head down in a couple of weeks to benchmark the 30+small turbo before my baby comes off the road for the GT35R install :)

I'd be hoping for a low 13! but who knows.. will be interesting to see what the 30 does with the 3.9 ratios..

Makes 245rwhp @ ~4600rpm on 12psi (full boost by 2200rpm).. anyone like to take a guess on what it might do down the 1/4?

Easy 12's if you can get a little traction of the line.

The 3.9 ratio is a good thing for that motor too.

Hmmm cool.

Going to 3.9 was great for drivability but it just doesn't have the neck snapping acceleration that it did with the 4.3's (obviously). A lot easier to drive though, oh and I thoroughly recommend a 3L + button clutch + 2way :P:)

yeh i was probably being a little negitive about running a 15,i gotta get down there and have a crack,id love to get even a high 13,my 32 is very fresh and only has quality parts bolted to it,it made just on 200 hp stock,and now has big fuel pump with reg,full zorst with front pipe,fmic,gtr clutch,and running 0.8 bar,plus had full rebuild not long ago with mostly ACL components,should do 13 i hope.

hey all who went down n howd u go? i left pretty early but managed i 13.727 @ 102mph, with it being the first time ive run the skyline there it took me a bit to get my 60ft down as i had traction troubles in first and second, i managed to get a 2.1sex 60ft time in the end tho, how did use go?

good effort Sam, I think given you weren't able to let the tyres down a 2.1 60ft is great.

You did well to lop the half a second off after we had a chat, like I said the good news is the terminal mph you had was good for a 13. You put a shield around that pod you have and you will pick up some power as well.

good excuse to go down next week and give it another shot. :down:

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
