Highly doubt you will get early 11's with your mods mate :wave:

Ah, so what estimate would you make? According to this site stock standard 32 gtr's run 12.8, surely it has to be quicker than that, right?

my 33 gtst runs 13.7 with baisc mods fmic hks pod 3 inch mandural bend back to the turbo and 10 psi soo a gtr should be running much better time and not to mention i have a kas 2 way diff so its a mad loss of traction and yes have the time cards to prove it

also on another note i got pulled over by and f6 typhoon last night for a breath test the cop hismself said he has no chance against gtr's no matter what model .... if thats any help

if you look in the right section aka this one

you will probably see some 320rkw(aw) and 350rkw(aw) R32 GTRs runs only 11.6.

first page in google when I typed in "john bowe typhoon"

I also struggled finding it.

I very much hope that a John Bowe F6 is a little more than a throttle body, air box and some stickers...

If I put some Jun stuff on my car does it make it a Jun Super Lemon? :wave:

Haha - I searched in Altavista and kept getting links to FPV forums. Doesnt look like you get alot for 3k!!! After reading what a heap of people have to say and looking at some pb's, I am pretty confident in BEATING him, lol. Now its just a case of getting him to come to the track with me, I am going regardless though - just for the experience and fun of it.

Yes, have a look at the NSW 1/4 mile thread - see tyhe mods similar GTR's run

Brad - FEAR - has ran 11.6 I think? he has 330awak IIRC

a work mate has the xr6t - IH8HSV - he has 276rwkw and ran 12.6 @ 112

(as a comparison, my nugget with 230rwkw in circiut set up did 13.5 @ 108)

the real question is who on earth would want a special edition named after john bowe? and if it's a john bowe edition, how 'special' can it really be?

Wow, there are alot of posts here. Strange how some people have around 250rkw and can do early 12's. But if I go by similar cars to mine I should expect early twelves or late elevens. Cheers for that!

Eh eh, yeah does sound lame. I think this is the car I am talking about:

yeah as what burnsie said, it all about the launch and tyres.. power comes second :banana:

Ask your mate to bring a plate with him to the creek.

So he can politely hand you your ass on it after your run.

Unless he's mildly retarded and your a drag god I think you'll get done.

What suspension, rim size and tyre choice are you using?

If your setup is right you might get him....might

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
