And people have gone mid 10s with DOT tyres in full interior "GTS" Skylines running 2.5litre engines and lowly GT3582Rs (under 400wkw). Hell one of my mates did a fair number of 10.6-10.8s runs with a stock bottom end RB25 25T, so one would imagine the same thing on full slicks - stripped out and a 3litre on it would go quicker again. Thats before you get into the fact this car would be making half the power again.....

Here is the rest of what i said, I clearly did have some involvement in the thread, by saying that neither car is really suited for drag racing in standardish form.

As a matter of fact that if I was talking to someone about this in person, I would say that it's a pointless idea.

So...how about you take some of your own advise and STFU, this is what forums are about...If no one replied to questions (even if they arn't what the OP wants to hear) than forums would cease to exist.

I don't think the question was "will the cars make it" or "are they good drag cars". The question was, ad-libbing, "Which car would be faster?"

How do you know the cars aren't set up to withstand the quarter mile?

u can see photos of my build thread here i dont have many recent photos to show, the pics in the build thread are about 5 months old just after i picked it up from dt panels

i wont post pics of my mates gtr until its finished

what tires u gonna use?

yeah im close to 150k... heres a basic rundown of the costs

car was 30k

engine is 40k

gearbox is 10k

clutch, diff, tail shaft etc 10k

thats 142k

also my best mate is building it and i help out where i can so im saving heaps on labour as well

Your mate is building it and its STILL costing 40k for a 26/30? :ninja:

I could see it being 25-30k total for big setup... but another 10k on top... that is some serious ouch.

You'd want some nice brand names for 40k, same with the clutch/tailshaft, that all should be 5k tops! ;)

A T04Z R33 GTR will be a 10s, a GT42R GTt SHOULD be in the single digits if everything is done right.
Curious, how fast do people expect the T04Z GTR to go?

A T04Z/Slicks GTR & dog box is a 9 IMO.

440rwkw+ will get to low 10's on semi's & a H pattern... So i could see the single digit ET for the GTR easily enough

Of course that's all the "variables" covered off and all.

for tyres ill be using something like this most likely

my mate is not the boss unfortunately, he works for a workshop and the car is there and he is building it but i do have to pay his boss for his time.

and yes there are some serious brands going into it.

as well as many custom made parts.

Enough with the theory talk. Take them to the track and see. Also 140k on a car? Wow, do you still live at home?

ahh no mate i bought my only place when i was 22

i got 2 houses now ;)

and im only 25

Not being rude here, but seriously 40k for a 26/30?

I'm having a VERY hard time adding that up. Even with a billet 86mm crank and brand name parts for the rest i can't add it all up.

Mind posting an engine spec list please? I hate hearing of people getting ripped off

i agree with you on this my mate built a jun 2.7 litre t51r motor for less, sounds like someone is overcharging....

i dont feel as though im getting overcharged at all

engine will be able to produce over 1000hp

off the top of my head here is a spec sheet please bear in mind that this is not every thing

rb30 block

brand new r34 gtr rb26 head

custom pistons

custom billet oil pump

conrods

custom girdle

6 boost manifold

gt42r turbo

60mm tial gate

hypertune manifold - the larger one

hypertune fuel rail

hypertune throttle body - the larger one

ati 1000hp balancer

tomei cam shafts

tomei cam gears

larger valves

valve springs

1000cc injectors

machine work - porting, polishing

custom loom

oil restrictors in the head

ignition system

fuel system - 2 pumps, surge tank, braided lines etc

pwr radiator

pwr custom cooler (may change to arc)

pwr oil cooler (may change to trust)

all the pulleys on the front of the engine i think tomei

massive water pump

custom catch tank

splitfires

massive custom sump

thats just off the top of my head i have a 2 page list of all the shit thats going into the engine

then add fittings, braided lines and all the little bullshit stuff u need

redline will be over 9000rpm

i really dont feel like i need to justify what im doing either this is my project car and this is what i wanna do with it quite frankly if any one doesnt like it they can go f**k themselves

also to everyone saying go out and race - thats the plan but only when they r both finished i started this thread to have a debate about what kind of numbers car with this sort of power pull down the quarter, not to have a debate about wether or not i live at home etc.

cheers

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
