hey guys} i have just went to see how fast my car is down a back street.

i have a r33 gtst s1. it is near stock except for turbo-back exhaust, bigger pod, heavy duty clutch and boost on 10psi. when i got the car about 3 months ago it seem heaps fast, now after a little hard driving it seems heaps slower.

the best 0-100km time i could get was about 7.27. accourding to other people they say they can get 6.2 etc.

does anyone know what is wrong or is this normal time. what can i do to fix it? help! :D

YOUR DOING IT DOWN A BACKSTREET... thats whats wrong... and ur mates little stopwatch isn't cutting it according to ur liking...

Go to a drag strip ya tight arse...

*EDIT* I appologise, ur a new member obviously. For your info, Skylines Australia does not condone any type of illegal activity on the roads... drag strip/skid pan/drift/track day is a different story...

Im sure this thread will be locked as it involves you asking questions about illegal behavior... perhaps editing the first post might be an idea..

As for your issue... what tyres are you running? that would be the first problem... traction getting the power from your engine to the ground... they make a big difference. you've said you have a heavy duty clutch so that shouldnt be the issue then....

honestly though, take it to a strip with some decent rubber, learn how to launch properly and im sure u'll be happier then doing dangerous stuff on the road... even if its a side street.

so who are these "other" people? the weakest link is usually you the driver. how are you timing it anyways?

now ask yourself this question, what is getting your car from 0-100 in 6.2secs on public roads really gonna prove anyways? honestly?

pay the $$ and get it properly timed on the strip if still want to prove something.

hey guys}

the best 0-100km time i could get was about 7.27. accourding to other people they say they can get 6.2 etc.

does anyone know what is wrong or is this normal time. what can i do to fix it? help! :)

would changing the spark plugs and getting a service help?

i think 7sec for a GTS-T is pretty slow.

N/A supras can acheive better times than that.

Alot of things can come into play

worn tires is a possibility...

but id be looking at other things

have you had it dynoed? id give that a go and see what outputs you get...

Well if the car feels slower maybe something isnt right or you are getting used to it, Best to satisfy your curiosity and get it onto a Dyno and see what sort of health your car is in. But the time recorded as illegal as it was does seem very slow considering the car isnt 100% standard

yeah definately check it out on a dyno

mine was running slow when I got it, I didn't know

about it cause I went straight from an old laser 4cyl to skyline turbo six

without having driven any other higher powered car so I thought it

was fast and only found out when I got it serviced the guys at the shop

said that it was very slow compared to other skylines they'd serviced and

tested , they thought It might have been leaking boost or something, but

once they tuned it up and such I couldn't believe the difference.

Technically what he's doing may not be illegal if its in a 100kmh zone. But yeah, take it to a track or drag strip if you want to drive like a maniac.

Also if it doesn't seem as fast as it was you should have it serviced and tuned, maybe a compression test (??) and above all take a driving course to improve your driving...

So what your saying is that i could launch my car off a 2-step at every set of traffic lights and not expect to be fined if I only get to 60 before backing off??

Even if he is not speeding it is still classed as reckless driving

Is there a specific law regarding take off speed? I'm sure a cop could find something to fine you with if you did drive like that and you'd deserve whatever was dished out.

All I said was it might not "technically" be illegal.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
