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

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
