to run a 10 in a full weight gtst, you will need good tyres, try aim for something better then ET street radials because they wont cut it, about 375rwkw, a good clutch and also a decent launch control and ecu with a tuner who can sit with you at the track and play with boost control trim on gears, boost control trim on wheel spin, and ignition timing retard on wheelspin, and also the launch control must not spool too much boost off the mark.

you need a 1.6 or lower 60 foot before you will grab it also.

Its not easy to do on a full weight street car, but i never gave up until i cracked it, i ran 10.80 @ 135mph before i gave up.

if you want to run the 10 you need to put in some hard work!

Except it hasn't done a 10 yet :P

I differ in opinion to most people who want to run 10s

A single 10.9999999 is different to a car setup to run half a dozen in a row. That is where car setup is important

I also don't like to see people wanting a 10 sec streeter but not want to drag "race" ie something other than a off street Wednesday night

I understand not everyone wants to cage their car....

If you don't, set it up to run consistent low 11's and hit the track as much as you like

That's gotta be one* of the dumber things you've posted.

If someone wants a street car, on DOT radials that can run a 10.

And drive it around daily, for a reasonable budget - who cares about a "real" comp.

LOL I agree with that one, that Zebra seriously needs to go back to the zoo! ..Saying after reading some of his posts..>_<

ahhh you guys are f**king retarded >_<

you guys want to spend 11ty $$$$ on getting a car to run a 10...ONCE..because you will be booted...then what....spend more money on changing it to a circuit car

Silly me for thinking people who want a "10 second car" actually want to run 10's more than once.

Its like buying a V8 Commodore.... Its no special supercar out of the factory, not unless you buy something really expensive..

But hey if you want a V8 taxi then thats good for you. On the same token if somebody wants a 10 second skyline for the sake of saying I have a 10 second skyline then good for them too LOL

Oh Noez!!!!

God Forbid any variety on the internet....Don't tell me you snatched the rights to "Nissan Skyline" too so you can claim it as your own and make money of others hard work

i thought WSID was introducing the new rule cause heaps of owners of new Fords & holdens where complaining about putting cages in there brand new $80K cars..

most these cars can run 10's for under $5000 of mods..

Ive gone the easy way and have a C4 and 3800 stall. But dont have the 10 yet but shouldnt be far away :thumbsup:

Most people also don't realise how quick a 10 second car is. Fastest car i've ever been in was my dads R33 with 350rwkw, did a low-mid 11 @ 125mph which was freaking quick. Not saying this about OP, but a lot of guys go from a stock liner and think "oh i want a 10 second car hepa derpa" without knowing how quick it really is.

Nope, they did a backflip on the decision unfortunately

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?

Lots of practice.... PFFT I did one pass :nyaanyaa: But I guess it wasn't a 10 :pirate:

In a manual, you would need atleast 400rwkw and MT Streets and know how to drive. Really drive.

I had 360rwkw (dyno dynamics) or 410rwkw (dynapac with correction) and yes knowing how to peddle well and smash gears helps

I don't think you need a lot of the things you have listed >_<

Also on the street a 10sec car isn't really a 10sec car... Unless it's a GTR :)

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
