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

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • 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.
