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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
