Tyres and suspension are your big ones in a Gts t

Yes it's the key for the low 60' time.

I know a stock GTST with a 100 shot of NOS and drag radicals did an 11.4 IIRC, which is quite stupendous.

never happen on street tyres

drag radials as a minimum and you would be looking at 550+bhp at the crank to get you a high 10 at around 130mph after lots of practice

Auto or manual?

Manual.

So that is ~350 rwkw then?

What is a 350 rwkw car gonna do on street tyres then? I don't just mean $100 a corner china spec but semi-slicks if necessary.

What tyres?

And can the person drive?

Two most important things over power IMO. If you can't drive you'll need a LOT of compensation (power & auto probably the easiest)

I'm talking potential really. Like how a $10,000 piano can sound better than a Bontempi keyboard but only if the person can play it properly.

as others have alluded too it will take more than just power.

Circuit semi's are rubbish on a drag strip, will need the correct tyre's for the job

plus you could have 350rwkws but if the car is laggy as hell then it wont run a 10

I know of a 1000hp R33 GTR that barely runs 12's because it is so laggy.

Have you dont any drag racing at all before?

I have done a fair bit and I still suck balls at getting a manual car off the line well

What suspension do you have? sub frame mods?

Well it is not my car per se. I am talking a GTST in an abstract or hypothetical sense.

But thanks for asking about my car anyway. :thumbsup:

Suspension wise I have HKS coilovers, whiteline sway bars, just the main subframe bushings are poly, camber arms. Have a Cusco mech LSD as well.:cheers:

well if it is hypothetical

4 link rear end, RB34, Auto, 5000+rpm stall and n2o to get it on boost on the start line

Seems a bit pessimistic when you consider a stock one has done an 11.4 with a 10lb bottle of laughing gas.

dropping 7/10ths at that level is a lot

eg twin turbo soarers are running 11.6's with just a front mount, boost and ECU

10's is a whole other ball game

obviously you dont need half of that stuff I listed

you don't need any of that stuff.., unless you want to run 8's haha

cheers

There was a R33 GTSt for sale a while ago, had a powerglide, high stall, GT35R etc and did 10.9 or something. Apparently only 288rwkw too.

Yeh but if it was manual it would make at least another 35-40rwkw, but dyno figures don't mean shit, they are all over the place at the best of times.

cheers

I did a 12.3 in a full weight 25/30 GTST 5 spd, 350 killerwasps, GTR diff, 245/45 17 Dunlop Direzzas, Bilsteins and kings, I had about 30 goes at trying to better it at the SAUNSW drag day, terminal speed was 123 mph, 60 foot was 2.? seconds which was crap but the tyres just kept bagging up, if you got some good drag radials and stock shockers you will most likely get a better 60 ft time, BUT, in all honesty, you may be dreaming.

10.99 is along way away from 12.3, Im hoping for 11.9 next time but I will be using drag radials.

:cheers:

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
