There is an article in the latest HPI magazine about getting 11s in your skyline...it is claimed there that around 220rwkw or slightly more is all you need for a 11 sec pass...don't quote me on that though...but whats said in that article carries alot of truth...the rest of the car's setup is just as important...so aim for about that much power or slightly more and concentrate on other areas...and don't forget driver skill too...

As stated in HPI No90 10 ways to an 11 second 1/4 time R33 GTST.

Stock coil overs, stock turbo, stock injectors, rising rate fuel pressure reg, a well tuned aftermarket EMS, fmic, 3-4" free flowing exhaust split dump, 1 bar boost, 15" Drag radial tyres inflated to 20 psi, strong single plate clutch, 1/4 tank of fuel.

Also remove any excess weight from your car like spare tyre, passenger seats, etc.

Sounds like a good recipe for 220 rwkw.

To get into the 11 second mark with these mods would also need some drag racing experience i would think. As also stated in the mag.

Yeh the latest HPi has mainly how to get your skylines doing 11's! pretty good read. I was reading it all night. Geting slicks for your ride would be good to!!

Slicks..why bother, why would you go to a drag stip, run a 12, bolt your street rims back and only have a 13 second car all of the time. Although ' street ' rubber is a harder way of getting the times, atleast you can drive away from the drag strip after you've done a 12 second pass in a 12 second car. Don't always believe what you read in HPI too :domokun:

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
