Mate, I'm runnin in my R32 Gtst 14psi, dyno'd at 165.6rwkw/457Nm @ 6500rpm tuned on a 28deg day by Dr Drift and only managed a 14.452 at 98.7mph.

I have a full 3" turbo back, hi flow cat, intercooler, pod, bigger fuel pump & boost controller for the life of me couldn't break the 100mph mark no matter how many times I tried(did 15 runs)

My best re-action time was .440.

There's a big difference of what a 20yr old car can do compared to a fresh outa the factory car sprouting figures on paper is meant to do.

Mine before remapping was puttin out 116rwkw with all the mods I have listed and was running lean as up top before remap.

The only way you will know is to get it on the strip & see for yourself- if your up in Qld your welcome to come to our next Drag day & see how you go-we would love to see you there-Qld Events team out :D

perth but thanks for the friendly invite :P gunna try get a helmet off a mate and go to kwinana this coming wednesday. will post the results.

nice, hmmm well im on my way to that :)

already got 3" metal intake(best induction noise ever :)), full zorst, brass button clutch. needa partition my intake though for cold air. gunna get injectors and pump soon with an ECU remap. Got pineapples set up for rear squat atm and i have ALL of the front and rear bushes, adjustable where available sitting in my room waiting for swaybars to arrive before i install them. tyres are 255's but shitty ones, i dont think ill put more than 13 psi through the turbs though. wait till i get a 25 turbo.

I been told 25 PSI in the tyres while I'm at drags. That about right ?

cbf drag radials. I'm either gunna get some adrenalins or potenzas soon though. Should be better than the cheap crap on there now

trial and error with the tyre pressure.

too low and you will have less contact patch on street tyres and potentially lower the grip levels.

start with 30psi hot pressure and drop a few psi at a time if you think this is a problem.

drop it down to 16ish psi

the rims wont spin inside the tyres or any of that rubbish

If you're running 40psi in your tyres with the 1/4mile runs, thats half your problem. Also with the launch, dont dump the clutch, hold the revs up and "feather" it out and jump on the throttle at the same time. You should get 2.0 or even 1.9 with a good launch

For anyone who is interested i got down to the drags the other day and this is the results, if you havnt read whole thread i was testing against an iPhone app.

also again, car is stock motor/turb o, just a pod, 3inc turbo back with stock cat and a FMIC.

first test run:

Actual data from motorplex:

ET: 14.73 @ 158.98kmph

60': 2.54

330': 6.46

660':9.68

1000':12.43

iPhone app data:

ET: 14.75 @ 157.9kmph

60': 2.36

330': 6.34

660':9.60

1000': 12.4

second test run:

Actual data from motorplex:

ET: 14.89 @ 159.32kmph

60': 2.71

330': 6.65

660': 9.83

1000':12.59

iPhone app data:

ET: 15.28 @ 152.9kmph

60': 2.72

330': 6.79

660': 10.06

1000': 12.91

my best run for the night was a 14.45 @99.33 mph, wasnt a good launch or change into 4th either, so i know it can go faster

I went to the drags in my 32 for the first time and ran a best time of 13.761.

Trap speed was 104 mph.

Running an RB20 dynoed at 197kw atw, on 255 adrenalins at the back.

Had real problems keeping traction to the ground, so I reckon my time can definately be improved on.

Nice, close to the magical 100mph.

You RB20 boys make me sad ;) stupid heavy ass 34s :P

Def will get a high 13 with a good launch.

Its interesting your MPH tho. I ran 99mph with a cat back and around 10ish psi of boost (extra spring on wastegate, so it didnt hold anything like an EBC) - and on the dyno it made just over 160rwkw.

So with my extra weight, 19s etc, hopefully I am maybe 170ish rwkw in fact, to be pulling the same mph. ahhhh who knows.

Either way looks like the Iphon app goes alright sometimes, and not so good others :)

I ran mine at the same event with pretty much the same mods but with a highflow turbo making 175rwkw untuned ran a 14.32 and a best of 100.90mph.

Now with the car off getting a few upgrades along with a Haltech installed and tuned I'm hoping to get close to the 110mph mark.

what do you guys think my 32 gtst will run with about 210 too 220rwkW?

could have up to 250 when done but that is the most conservative figure i have been quoted

upgrades are:

-rebuilt engine (metal head gasket, rings, ACL bearings, completely recoed head)

-GTR injectors (fresh cleaned and serviced)

-OS Giken Cam Gear on zorst side

-Gates Triple Strength T/belt

-FMIC

-Walbro 550hp fuel pump

-sard fuel reg

-full zorst, no cat (shhhhhhh)

-pod

-KKR430 turbo

-Microtech LT16S ECU tuned by Tony Rigoli Performance

phew lol

so i wanted high 12s...think thats possible on coilovers and second hand 235s?

also what power figures sound more on key?

gotta beat my mates 6litre HSV Maloo lol

All the guessing in the world won't make any difference in your life unless you actually do it for real. What is happening with you guys these days ? What's next, asking if you could sprint 100mtrs in 7sec if you were wearing so and so shoes and had your hair parted in the middle for less wind resistance ? Perhaps if I tell my phone I weigh 100kilos and can leg press 600lbs for 12 reps @ 8% body fat I could get that down to 3 seconds.

These guessing gadgets are useless. Get out there and as Nike would say, "just do it".

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
