10 Second Gtst Rb25

[Tony de Wonderful]

What do you need to make a 10 second pass on street tyres and full weight?

Please don't say NOS.

I'm talking minimum spec to do a 10.99.

Can you do it with 300 kw?

[GTR_JOEY]

NOS and lots if it!!!!

Na I dunno I reckon u would need more then 300

Guilt toy has done a 10 I think and he has around 350ish from memory?

Tyres and suspension are your big ones in a Gts t

[zebra]

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?

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.

[R31Nismoid]

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

[zebra]

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

[Super Drager]

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.

[Deano 1]

Buy a GTR for street tyre 10s.... Good luck with a gtst

[zebra]

or throw enough money at Adrian

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

nothing wrong with planning for the future lol

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.

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.

With that MPH Mark, if you get it to hook up you should see a VERY low 11
