Congrats on the time man, gives me something to look forward to when I take mine down the strip (assuming I can drive it properly :)) as I have a similar setup.

Once I can get it launching properly, hoping for mid to high 11 second pass... but yeah congratulations dude ;)

Congrats on getting into the 11's mate ;)

You just can't beat a mild street GT-R set-up. An 11sec street car that can put its power down with minimal fuss, you've got to love that. 4WD ='s sub 2.0 60's even if you can't drive to save yourself, like me :)

Just going off topic for a sec... Buster (Brett?) do you use your NT555's for general street driving? And if so, how do you rate them?

In japan i ran :

R33 GT-R(not vspec)

HKS Full Exhaust

17PSI

Maxxis Tyres 245's ( MA-v1) : they are really crap.

HKS Cam Gears

11.98 @ 118Mph

60Ft = cannot remember i think 1.8 ?

Standard ECU

button clutch

TRUST AIRPODS

with some good pair of tyres and uniglide and 22PSI i could easly do mid to low 11's.

Yep I've got one pair on my 17" Volk TE37's rear (everyday wheels), and another pair on the 16" R32 GTR rims (drag rims), I have found them to be great grip wise as what ever I can do at the stripp I can near do on the street if needed, though they wear out pretty damn fast

Thanks for the info Buster ;) As soon as funds are available NT555's will be going onto the rear. If they last me 2-3k, with a couple of drag meets mixed in, I'll be happy enough. The used pair you had for sale, they were 16's weren't they?

Sorry for the small hijack everyone... carry on :(

This is why I was surprised with the terminal speed of Mark's pass with GT2530s...

Damn!!! Just got back from calder, 12.00 @114mph......

I want that 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, stock turbos running 1.1 bar, stock ecu.....

114mph with stock turbos and stock ECU :stupid::/:rofl:

114mph with stock turbos and stock ECU :stupid::/:rofl:

And that's with 260rwkws (274rwkws in shootout mode) and Nismo twin plate clutch, fark that clutch can take a beating and keep biting hard...

hahaha thats cool, you should be able to get 3k out of them and a few drag meets for sure depends on how big a burnouts you do, yeah I'm selling the 16's

Thanks again mate. I'm not one for HUGE burnouts, but if that's what the Nittos need to stick, then so be it :D I'd like to try and squeeze 275/40/17's on the back.

Merli,

Mark is not running the 2530s no way near to their full potential yet.

2-3 mph difference between Jack's and Mark's run adds up to the 20-30 kw difference at the wheels.

High 120s is achievable with the 2530s and maybe that magical 130mph. That may be good enough for 10s on Nittos. :P

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
