How many kws will i need to make to run into the 11 second bracket with suspension mods and full racing slicks.

Planning on going to the creek with 250kw atw with full slicks when car gets tuned.

im probably wrong so i may end up getting corrected, but if you can drive i think thatl be good for mid to low 12's

With what you have, assuming you don't have some silly laggy turbo, all the suns and moons align and there is a 30 knot SE wind, you can pull off an 11 with 250rwkw in that car but in reality, I would expect you to run somewhere around a 13.5. If you get many many passes in while you're there you may.....may get into high 12's......maybe

200-220rwkw will get you into the 12.9's on street tyres... and he has slicks. :)

250rwkw + slicks = high 11

However, you being able to pilot the car to an 11 is another issue entirely and for the first few meetings highly unlikely :)

:blush: My previous car before owning my r33 gtst was a 1972 toyota corolla with a SR20 turbo running 180kw atw. Full sleeper look, car weighed 950kg and was fully engineered. Raced it at the creek on street semi slicks and ran a 12.8s quarter. Put mickey thompson full race slicks, got heaps of advice from local veteran racers at track and ran 11.89 after 6 passes on the full slicks. 11.89 s at 117mph with 1.7 sixty foot. Due to family illness i sold the car and later settled for a skyline . I cant get away from the nissan family.

Any way i would like my skyline to run this time. it will keep me happy for a short time :ermm:

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Its much easier to talk in mph, then if the suspension and the driver sort everything out then a good ET will follow. Anyone can run a good mph for that particular car.

Its not really a question you can put a power figure to and guarantee because you gota have the package of suspension tyres practice to run the car at its best at that power but yeah generally mid 200kw range and a good drag suspension setup wit semis and being pretty familair with driving the car prob will see you in the 11s.

For a given weight, you can work out what mph you require to run an 11. Then it is quite possible to estimate a power figure to run a particular mph over the 1/4. Then the final step is to get the launch right (60'), then you have your 11 second 1/4 time.

My 33 GTST (Full street trim) had semi slick tyres on 16s (lost about 5km/h trap speed with 16's compared to my 18 street tyres) 268RWKW and did a 12.3 with 1.8 60'. Its probablly achievable will full slicks as i was still spinning off the line though.

Going by you sig it was 1.89... On semi's that is an average 60ft... you have a 11.9 there for sure mate ;)

I used to manage a 1.9 60ft on 225 street tyres (220rwkw). Best ET in that config was 12.9X

See if you came to around 1.6 60ft, that would have been the 11 on semi's... i say you need to go again :cheers:

It'll be easily achievable with full slicks, no question there... just comes down to driver

Yeah it was a 1.89 60' mate, Still span off the line abit, It was hard launching it as my turbo comes on quite late (4300) on a Stock internal 25. 0.82 exhaust housing with highflow turbo. Would be achievable though for sure! Just need some slicks :)

What type of semi's? Track or proper Drag ones?

I wouldn't think some Mickeys or simlar would be spinning that hard off the line so you wouldn't even need slicks to get your 11 as all you need really is a 1.6 60ft and that's achieveable for sure without slicks.

Yeah, they wernt like full semi slicks like the Mickey T's ET streets or anything, I had Toyo R1R's on stock 32R rims. Much much bettter then the cheap tyres i had on my 18's so thought id give them a go. Best 60' i could get with my 18's on was a low 2.1. If i had Mickey T's i should of been very close to an 11.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
