Hey guys...

I am an avid reader of the performance section of these forums but i find that most people serching for more RWKW's rather seconds...

My question is what would be needed to be done to a stock R33 GTS-t to produce 11's, with street tyres, and no MAJOR weight reduction.

I am looking to purchase a 33 very soon and wanting to work it acheive 12 sec 1/4's but just got curious as to what extra would be needed. I also intend on this to be a daily driver with bite.

(BTW I am aware that there are multiple ways for this to be acheived, just looking for the different methods and ideas)

Cheers

Money.

Sorry, couldn't resist it.....

We have a full weight R34 GTT that does 11.7with 310 rwkw on Nitto radials. So do a search for how to get 300 rwkw out of an RB25DET. There would be at least 50 that I have posted to. Take your pick of methods and then stick a pair of Nittos on the back and, as long as you can drive, and the track is is good condition, an 11 is achievable.

Hope that helps

Try and do it with the stock turbo :D.

I'd be looking at BFG drag radials tyres wise and a good working over of the suspension. With BFG's you should get the 60ft down to high 1.5's / low 1.6's (like to see that out of sh*tto's). A modifed transbraked Turbo 350 auto with a 5000rpm high stall and a lower diff ratio might help too.

Hi rev, Wilson did a 1.45 on Nittos, Munroe did a 1.48 and Lee did a 1.6. I've got plenty more examples if you like. None of those were in Perth though, in fact I can't find any decent radial tyre times from Perth. Must be the track.

Just make sure you try and buy one with the basics already covered, otherwise it'll add up to "may as well just get a GTR" territory.

If you can find one with FMIC, full exhaust, boost controller, suspension, aftermarket ECU, and hopefully a few other extras for around $20k, that might save you $10k just there. That might make a budget of getting there below 35k possible.

Then your concerns will be building the internal strength of the motor, turbo and the required support systems for that. Otherwise, yeah, just find one already done .. it may be boring but it will save you a **** load of money.. over the last year or so I've seen quite a few GTS-T that will do mid-12's for $25-30k

Yeah i spose i never thought of that.

I am a huge fan of the GTS-t as a quick but non-expensive car and also has the looks. The main reason i was after a GTS-t was the rear wheel drive aspect. How hard is it to turn a GTR into rear wheel drive?

Cheers

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
