Do you think its possible to build an r33 gtr that will do 10sec 1/4mile @ 140mph on pump fuel?

Im trying to get some info for a friend whose looking at building a new car that will go 10sec or quicker yet run 140mph or close to it all on 98 pump gas.

So far he is looking at the 2.8l stroker, usual mods, head work cams, proper fuel set up. Turbo he is looking at the new turbonetics GTK1000.

I know its abit of a hows it going question but any information would be help full. Those who have run 10sec passes could you list your mods and times and mph.

Thanks

Bobbo here in WA ran 10.2 at 122mph with T76.

The low MPH is because he missed 5th gear and coasted across the line.

The car had 672rwhp and was running a T88-34D with a HKS 2.8L and HKS H-Pattern Dog Box (pump fuel, no NOS).

he hasnt got much aCCess to c16 or so. I know tens in a GTR is doable how ever, what about say hi 9s at 140mph? for some reason his goal is to hit 140mph down the 1/4 on pump fuel at what ever quickest time.

i run high 9's on Sunoco fuel @ 139.6MPH...but im holding the car in 3rd gear so i dont MPH quicker, 9100rpm in 3rd = 139 MPH

this not only affects MPH but obviously the ET as well.

reason for this is i have no parachute and dont wish to be logged by ANDRA stewards for breaking 140

Cars engine is so efficient it only produces 30 more KW on Sunoco than with BP98..so the statement that "race fuel unlocks HEAPS more power" is not correct, it depends how efficient or inefficient the engine is. A less efficient engine will see more of an increase with race fuel. Race fuel in more efficient engines is generally run for safety and a bit of tuning "headroom" (this is the only reason we run sunoco).

so with parachute fitted and pulling 4th gear with pump fuel id say its more than possible to run 9's @ 140 on pump.

How much more ignition timing do you run from BP to sunoco? when i tried BP to Elf turbo max i could easily run 15 degrees more. As you would know simply switching to race fuel does nothing, but gives you the opportunity gain the extra power.

wont quote our timing figures but only ever run up to 6 deg more on race fuel.

we still make massive power and run the numbers at the track for the set-up we have.

Also have only ever broken 1 engine (oil pump failure) and that was due to over revving and ignition cut rev limiter....not tuning

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
