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've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
