What Do You Recommend As The Next Step For My Car?

Has anyone tried launching in 2nd?

wtf for

op - just go buy some MT drag radials, than you wheel spin probs will be gone

[gwilkinson34]

let it wear in then try again, you need to slip the clutch to keep the revs up like an auto with a big stall converter does.

I'll give it a crack again sometime... can't be good for her though

Ive heard of lots of dudes using second for launching, more traction etc. Alot of guys actually see quicker 1/4 mile times and 0-100 times launching in second, technique my friend.

I think thats only for big power setups, certainly not for a stock turbo!

First is over in a split second in my car. I may consider launching in second at the drags, but it would be brutal on the drivetrain with mickey t's

[zebra]

too much of a gap between 1st and 2nd in the skyline boxes imo,

Id change the diff ratio to 3.9:1 or 3.7:1 before launching in 2nd.

But that is off topic.

[Granthem]

260rwkw + a terrible launch, flat change and the sound of limiter can net a 4.2 0-100 dash

[SlowSkyline]

No arguments there. But us skyline drivers are more sensible drivers arent we so dont need to worry about that...

haha..

[Granthem]

But the fun just starts at 100 really...

Need an Auto + 4500rpm stall and transbrake lol

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

r33 stockies are too thin! get something that can wear some fat 255's then chuck some mt's on

[Kinkstaah]

So, how well do Modded GTR's go here?*

1) Sorry for off topic

2) Sorry for not posting in already existing thread

3) I realise turbo choice, launch ability, tyres, and suspension would have MASSIVE effects on this

[TiTAN]

4wd, bash the limiter and drop it, they dont hang around long even with a bit of wheel spin.

thanks for the replies guys, new wheels and wider tyres are definately the next step.

Do people think that I will have any tune troubles from where I am (R&R particually) if I was to do the cheap eath boost mod to get 7-8psi all the time?

I was going to do this for the time being until I can put the cash together for a EBC and proper tune

Just want a little more in the mean time

[paulr33]

if you are interested in 0 to 100 times and only that, you need as much help as you can

ditch the piggy back and stock ecu and get a stand alone, tune it aggressively and run 12psi

but youll need a few other mods for that too, heavy duty clutch, fuel pump, fmic

[TUF250]

thats definately the plan longer term, I have already started saving as I want to do it all in one hit so all the supporting mods are there and in place. I was just thinking in the short term.

I think Ill stick with the new sticky tyres and the free boost mod and see what I get out of it, hopefully the computer dosnt crack the sads.

This is the best advice in the thread.

Sell the car.

Buy another R33 that is worth maybe 3-4k more.

You will be getting at least $10-15k worth of mods for that extra $4k, reason is you never get any return on your investment with cars. I did exactly this, bought an R32 gts-t for $11.5k and I got a full rebuilt rb25det, $2k highflow turbo, exhaust, ecu, injectors, suspension, aftermarket ecu, fuel pump, bushes, new clutch etc. Even got the receipts for all the above adding up to over $20k.

Sure sometimes it can be fun building your own car up, personally I think its a stupid waste of money, buy someone else's project and with the ridiculous amount of money you have saved personalise it.

damn straight....

[TUF250]

yeah thats true, but I bought this one because it is so clean and tidy. it really is one of the best r33s I have ever seen. even a police offiecer said "Ive pulled over alot of r33s and this si the cleanest one Ive seen"

thats the only reason I would stick with it

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

coppers probably gonna change his tune once you start modding it
