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

    • 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?
