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

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • 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)
