For people who track their cars, what sort of time improvement would you expect from say a Cobb tune, mid pipe and cat back exhaust upgrade?

Also has anyone v-boxed the before and after 0-100, 1/4mile times?

I am trying to compare the (09/10 cars with simple mods) with the (2011 models)

Cheers

I ran my 09 car for about a year with the stocker tune, about 10~15 track days at EC, WP and OP. After applying the Cobb tune, track times were no better, and initially went backwards a bit... There are a number of factors. The first generation of R35 tunes had explosive power application, overwhelming VDC thus pulling power and running slower. Thankfully Willall came to the party with a tune which applied power/boost in a more linear fashion, suited for the circuit, which helped a lot. If you're running with an extra 50 or 100awkw, VDC just doesnt work (as intended). You need to turn it off and/or be much more judicial with the throttle.

It's difficult to quantify my lap time improvements as i've made a bunch of changes surrounding suspension, tyres, aero and brakes. But if i had to guess, at a track like Eastern Creek, i would say adding 40awkw equates to about a second improvement straight up in the R35.

As for 1/4 mile, i can't remember the stocker time, but running the Willall 98 tune, i ran 11.1 @ 128mph, and with Martins E85 tune i ran 10.73 @ 132mph. 0-100km/hr run on the 98 tune was 3.1s as measured on the VBOX. I havent measured the 0~100km/hr with the E85 tune yet, i think.

Stock's between 11.6 and 11.8 quarter time and 0-100 around the 3.7 mark in LC2 cars.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
