just bought a r33 gtr vspec series 2 and only has a catback exhaust.

What would be its potential down the 1/4 the way it is now

and what would the potential be with just 12psi boost, hiflow panel filter and a full exhaust

average driver: ?

good driver: ?

i couldnt find much info regarding this

out the box GTR Nissan quoted a 13.2 I think, so you would say around a low 13.

vspec slightly heavier but then you have an exhaust which should give you more torque and power (a little anyway) so that may counter the extra weight of the v-spec.

Obviously this would have been with a gun jap driver.

i think you could safely say with fliter and exhaust and no tune, you should hit a low to mid 13 without too much drama.

Any faster and you will need to look at a tune to get things working properly and then flat 13's, high 12's would be attainable.

Then add dollars to take off time, one you get to low 12's, high 11's, talk big dollars for each 10th of a second you want to shave

Refer too what time will my car run thread,........ 14.0 @98mph

haha I thought I would be a little more genuine than sarcastic.... When I first read I thought exactly that, but then broke it down a little more and though take the average run of the mill etc.....

if he drives like my sister, erm about a week.... or worse still will dump the clutch forget she had it in reverse and take out the car staging behind..... DOH

Now with larger turbos and more power my goal is a high 11 second pass on 20inch rims. How much power is required to do this?

I ran a 12.9 sec pass with the 20in rims with the same mods in above post.

so a .3 difference.

What are your thoughts. Can this be done? And if anyone has done it would be good to know.

The bigger rims will give you a larger rolling diameter & more weight generally, thus slowing down the time gain from extra boost. For the drag strip, use the stock rims with a GOOD set of tyres & the time will be much better, & it will put less stress on the drivetrain as a whole. Stick the 20s back on for cruising bling.

he hit high 12's while everyone was saying 14 flat ??

you did pretty good mate. im running mine tomorrow. so hopefully i do a 13 :D

We say that so you aren't tempted to be a retard and actually go to the drag strip instead of walking around telling various people what your car "would run".

    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
