Hi guys ive tried searching, Drag times but i found nothing i wanted to know for an "R33 Gtst" (post other cars if u want)

I was wondering if people could post up thier 1/4 mile times and how much power (rwkw) they had at the time.

doesnt have to be exact i just want a rough estimate of what power should get u into what time bracket.

from around maybe 9s - 14s, as my uncle has built a XB falcon v8 that runs 11.6 and he said ill never beat him

so basically i just want to know what lyes ahead :)

Cheers Peoples

STD GTS-t + 100hp NOS shot = 11.5

My experience. 400kw, full weight R32 GTR... Mid 10sec @ 138mph

Dude, you know there is so much more to drag racing than just hp....???

A torquey V8 with a well set up auto and suspension could easily siht allover a hard suspension, manual peaky import with more hp... Alot more consistant too.

Power to weight+ traction+power delivery FTW!!!

If you want to get around you uncle in your 33, ur going to spend alot of cash brother. I'd estimate 360+rwkw, gooood tyres, gearset/auto, some susp set up and lots and lots and lots of practice at the track to be consistant.

STD GTS-t + 100hp NOS shot = 11.5

What he said.

I have a little evo 1 (light gsr version, with built motor etc.) at the moment as a daily work car. That would probably lay the smack down to your uncles car on the drag strip and to rub it in returns better than 10L/100km around town not to mention it's abillity to stop, go around corners and start first time on a cold or hot day. :)

This thread is going nowhere quickly.

lol i agree, i dont think its that hard just to input your pwr with a time...

and to answer the other guys question i know there is more to drag racing then power, its common sense.

all i wanted to know what wat power people had when they ran there times and no 1 can provide, common ppls o.0

A need for very deep pockets. :)

My advice is don't worry about a dumb dick measuring contest with your uncle, just do the stage 1 tune to ~200 kw and have some fun...won't break the bank either. Add decent suspension also.

I was being serious...2rismo ran 11.5 with a stock engine GTS-t...stock turbo as well. Just a Power FC intercooler and turbo back exhaust.

To the guy with the GSR, i hope you know the GSR is actually the heavier version. Nice cars though. You can get one in NZ for around 6k at the moment.

My car ran 11.9 with 310kws and a boost problem. That was on M/T Et Streets with a best 60 foot of 1.7. First time racing this car so times should improve on that.

so what your saying is im likerly to run 11's like 2rismo?

i got a "32 gtst with full turbo back xhaust, fmic, "33 s2 turbo set at 10psi with a 50hp shot nos plus a greddy emange copgy back unit.

manualised "32 auto with 3000rpm stall

unsure of power output as im re-tuning atm due to nos install

I thought mid 11's wasn't possible with even 300rwkw according to the experts around here

:D

:D

Half of you guys can't be serious.

Trying to find power results, and calculate 1/4 times. You're looking at +/- 2-3 secs.

You could make a 250rwkw car do low 11's, with the right way about it.

Power isn't all that in Drag Racing.

What you want to focus on is Suspension set-up and splurge on tyres.

You could have a 500rwkw car with positive displacement coilovers wheelspinning the whole track.

Generally 90/10 ratio front/rear is a good start.

Stock suspension in the rear, get some coilovers at the front with 8-10kg springs, wind the dampening up all the way.

Tyres, can't go past Mickey Thompson's.

You got an R33?

Buy some R32 GTR wheels or even 300zx wheels. Slap on fat M/T's with good side wall flex 265/40 R16.

Get a good clutch too, Brass button, or even twin plate. Rear wheel drive cars need riding on the take-off to prevent wheel spin.

Lift Handbrake up and (hold the button in obviously so it goes down again) hold revs just before full boost. Let the clutch out until you feel it starting to bite...hold hold hold..and let go.

Get ready to basically slam second straight away.

Don't hit limiter.

Take out everything (YES EVERYTHING)..spare wheel, jack, seats incl passenger.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

Don't expect to get there straight away.

It's the battle that makes it fun!

ENJOY..

Hope that helps!

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
