About 200 horespower at the tyres will do it.

235 horses will get you a high 12 provided you get a 2.1 or better 60ft.

Driver skill at the drags = drinking a beer without spilling it levels of coordination and technique (when sober).

220rwkw = 13.47 , the dyno printout it looks like its sorbent brand.

i think you will have to concentrate on many other factors to get those times, suspension and tyre set up will be crucial. i was at WSID the other week and was disapointed to see a few R33 skylines running 14s with about 200rwkw. yet there was a dead stock S15 200sx running 13.4 all it had was a cooler, std turbo, std exaust, std airbox.

Im busting to get mine out there. i have 210rwk at the moment, but stiff sus and 18"s so before i attempt anything im gonna throw std shocks in and standard tyres (unless someone loans me something better)

REV210

i think ull need a bit more than 235horses to get a high 12 in a R33

as it weighs alot more than mine , according to that thereoy i should be doin mid 12's! lol which imnot!

You'd think that but you'd be wrong.

I did a 13.3 with 235 rwhp with a 60ft of 2.3 (205 tyres) . If the car gets a 2.1 or better 60ft time... do the math.

The last dyno the car had after an engine rebuild befre the new owner took it was 240 rwhp , I assure you high 12's will be not be a struggle for it even with a 2.3 60ft.

I also didn't mention that I have a 4.8kg flywheel which does absolutely nothing to the power figure but, did drop the time of the car by about half a second over the 1/4 mile. I also didn't mention the fact that the engine made 235rwhp at only 4500rpm but, due to a tuning issue didn't make any more power above that rpm.

There is more to going quick than being a 'dyno queen'.

186rwkw on the std turbo/ecu.

* FMIC

* 3" full exhaust

* Ex Cam Gear

* Organic Sports Clutch

* 225/50/16 @ 27psi

* Pineapples

* 10psi

* K&N Filter

I'd be happy with a 13.6sec or better from the above setup. Until then you won't see a smile on my face at the drags :cheers:

I had a clutch problem when I did that 14.1sec but excuses are excuses and I have to deal with it.

well either the "average" driver is crap.. or if you ask me, the majority of drivers must be, seeing as many do have 180rwkw (approximately 235rwhp), are crap and only get around mid-13's.. me included.. Those that do get low 13sec are maybe 1 in 10 out there at a rough guess, even with similar "power" levels

or the alternate hypothesis - rev210, robos and the like are pretty good drivers, and actually the minority :cheers: But hey, i'll admit it!

If it was easy, or any "average" driver could get low 13sec 1/4 miles with their R33's and ~170-200rwkw i think we'd all be doing it. Its a fair bit due to care setup as not every car is the same even though it may have same mods, same this, same that - and it can be a lot in the tuning.

Remembing a lot of us just go to their dyno tuner and go "i want max power" thats probably the main problem. Its been a while since i have been to the dyno (or the strip for that matter to run), but i know i definitely would just want maximum across range.. not just top.. stuff bragging rights in terms of rwkw.

Maybe when i first got my car it was like "phwoa.. its got 180 rwkw.. how cool it should go really fast" .. but I guess i have learned better over time.

Anyone got a lightweight flywheel? Hmmm strange it doesn't seem to add any horespower yet you drop almost half a second off your 1/4 mile with one.....

Driver skill? Well maybe you could call it that but, a 2.3 60ft isn't a skilled launch.

Your car makes 180rwkw on the dyno? Good for you! It might not make that power when actually pushing through the wind on a real road. Some do the dynos with the bonnet 'up' and people putting water and friken dry ice on the intercooler .

It's been said before and it will probably get said again.

Dyno's are only a tuning tool.

They are not the only tool.

The people who think they are have forgotten to count themselves.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
