my old r33 gtst ran low 13's consistantly with ;

Standard ecu + SAFC2

205 tyres on stock rims

turbo back exhaust (dump/front pipe custom made at Mettams mufflers in Morley, I thermal wrapped it)

standard air box (K&N element)

standard intercooler

10psi ( bleeder valve)

Pineapples (rear cradle bushes)

Light weight flywheel and upgraded clutch

With just these items I can get any decent nik R33 gtst into low 13's or with bigger tyres on the back straight into high 12's. Low 13's without spectacular 60ft times.

Notice the lack of Front mount intercooler.... Not needed to do this, get a good one when you upgrade the turbo and other kit.

That cars dyno after at the time of the low 13 was 175rwkw. It looked stock and was quiet and comfortable.

The JJR integrated split dump pipes are rubbish. They require machining to align the flange plate properly, the flange plates are sometimes not flat (warped).

Just get something from an exhasut place made. Without the split design. And then thermal wrap it.

My thoughts are that you need to sheild that pod filter. The pod filter if it has no cold air feed and heat shield, sucks in very hot engine bay air.

Or just get a factory airbox and cold air feed from someone throwing thiers away. Perhaps you can even offer to swap. Keeps the cops out of your face too when you pop the bonnet.

Mettams mufflers in Morely is where I have always gone for my cars. Pat there is a master and his quality work is very cheap indeed.

Mild steel dump pipe to the cat in 3 inch. Shouldn't be too much.

Go grab yourself some pineapples for the rear sub frame. they are only a tad over $100 and you can fit them in your driveway with 15min, a bit of effort and a crowbar. Easier if you have a mate to help out.

The clutch is something to save for if you only have a standard one in there as drag racing and the modest power increase will see it on it's way quickly.

When my car was dyno'd at 190rwhp I ran 13.8. It's pretty easy to do so.

The thing about dyno's is that they are really only a tuning tool. Making car comparisons is not what they are good for. :D

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
