high 13s???

[drewecrome]

hey all, i will be in the market for an r33 gtst skyline in june, i have budget of $19000, but want money left over for mods, im willing to spend between $17000, and $17500 for a decent car. with the left over money i want to spend it on mods that will get me into the high to medium 13 brackets, i would like any info on how thish could be achieved, with around $2000, taking into account that the car i will buy will probably have an exhaust and an air filter, any hints, or ideas? please help.

intacooolaaaa ?

(dont ask me im turbo-less )

lightweight flywheel will get you there no problem'o.

Check the forced induction section for the 13.4 second thread, costs less than $2k.

have fun!

[caminperth]

Lightened flywheel is one way to go - but can make the car harder to drive and hard to launch properly..

another way is a full turbo back exhaust, pod and a bit more timing.. that and perhaps a bleed valve for a bit more boost should see you with a late 13 easy....

[Nexus_SiX]

I bought an R33 with exhaust and pod. I have bought a power FC and boostcontroller with has got me to 13.7

This would be slighty more than 2 grand with retail prices, however the same basics would be availabe with a Air/fuel computer e.g AFC and a boostcontroller. Both could be yours for as little as $500 ( if using the 2nd hand route)

Say hello, listen to peoples various suggestions. Take what you think is best and go with it.

The lightweight flywheel fitted to my old car did nothing to make the car harder to launch or drive. I put one in my car and there was no issues at all. I didn't think you had a lightweight flywheel in your car Cam, perhaps it has a balance issue or something.

If you want a flywheel that has been tested by a few then the ogura 4.8kg is a sure bet.

[G0DF4Th3R]

Rev - how much did the Ogura flywheel cost and do u know they weight of the stock fly?

[Lynx]

Stock is about 10kg aint it?

[caminperth]

No issues with balancing - it's a stocker.. A light flywheel by design will make the car rev harder and faster, but will also loose momentum easier than a stocker if not taken into account when launching and during normal driving..

Anyways - a high 13 should easily be within reach with some or all of the mods listed..

just wondering why someonw from brisbane posted in here about how to make a 13?

dude, did you try the forced induction section? there's shitloads of info there....

Opps... meant to say "its a known fact all the smart people are in Perth"

[raasclaat]

haha....we just have trouble with the petty things like using the quote function on forums

[zanda]

and typing "someone"

[Cake]

rev210, how much was it ?

did it reduce fuel economy, since the car loses momentum more easily? or is that really only noticable when you are coasting, foot off accelerator but in gear.

[rev210]

b005t,

the fuel ecconomy is slightly better (accelleration uses more fuel than cruising obviously). The car will slow down faster (engine braking) when the throttle is shut in gear, coasting you do with the clutch 'in' therefore no difference.

The car is easier to launch and nicer to drive , any comment's to the contrary are incorrect speculation.

I believe the lightweight flywheels are now $600 or less, a bargain!

When I get the gtr I'll be fitting one to that for sure.

[Lynx]

I have the lightweight flywheel....No probs launching at all.....takes off faster than an Iraqi dictator!

:sadam:

[R33 Impul]

Would a light weight flywheel have any adverse effect on a auto g/b

[rev210]

yes it would have an adverse effect on an auto since the auto has no clutch and flywheel to begin with . Bottom line ios you can't do this mod to an auto.

Auto's benifit from modifications to the stall convertor and valve body tho'. the first increases the stall rpm and torque multiplication for great launches. The second increases the speed at which the auto can be shifted and reduces the 'slip' into each gear.

[R33 Impul]

Shit :Oops:

This is my first auto so just goes to prove I have no idea
