Cheers,

I asked the guy before they put it in and said it was good for over 300kw and my car is making 293kw ??? thanks for that

Yeah but for how long?

My car has one of those clutches. It's pretty much garbage compared to a decent twin plate.

Also what RPM should you launch an r33 gtr at to be on the safe side???

"Safe side" (assuming you mean from the mechanical sympathy point of view) and 10s 1/4 times are contradiction in terms. With the power you have a 10s is possible only with good tyres and a very hard launch.

I need to launch at ~6k to prevent bogging down, but this obviously takes it's toll on the drivetrain over time. Clutch failure is the most obvious liklihood, but gearbox failures also aren't unknown (particularly with a hard change into 3rd).

I didnt think 300rwkw was enough to do a 10 in an r33?

Same here....

the hardware sounds up to it but it seems as if you need a better tune to free up some power, or maybe the 293kw run was done at 12psi or so :P

well you lose more power with the all wheel drive and the gts-t is lighter but its no good if you dont get the power to the ground. but im not going to say anything because i dont know for sure. Thats why i asked, i would like to know. theres not alot of GTR where i live.

ok sorry about being a little short, but there have been a lot of stupid questions lately, and sometimes innocent ones get put in the same basket.

awkws are better, because if you disengaged the fronts on a R32 GTR with 300awkw you'd end up with 320rwkw - 330rwkw.

BUT you'd also lose 35% of your traction.

You have the hardware, simply get someone that can tune and crank her up to 350awkw and run some 10's :P

If it helps, with 280kw @ all four, I run a 11.8 @ 117mph in my R33 GTR.

I've now got 318kw @ all four and am running next Wednesday. I'll let you know how I go, I reckon 11.5-11.6 :D

I reckon you'll need 350kw @ all four to run a 10 in a R33 GTR... minimum :P

What boost are you running?

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
