For every ones info. I replaced the V Spec II sticker on my car, with a genuine Nissan sticker. It was super expensive, but aside from that, the sticker is shaped to match the corner of the back boot like a template. This means that you can use the corners and edges of the boots to get the sticker in the exact factory position. Pretty sweet. I was surprised.

Just checked my spare sticker (my original is just showing a tiny amount of peel on one corner....) - you are right - how clever of them......

Cheers

PS That Edward Lee Video should be pinned somewhere as a "must see" for anyone who ever considers buying a car from that guy, with annotations about all the misleading statements.......

Good luck this weekend Bob! :D At the very least I'm sure you will have fun!

Yep had fun but my times were ..........OK????????

My best 1/4 mile was 13.399 (slip attached) but my best terminal speed was 178.94 kph a couple of runs later (111mph).

With that speed I should have been well into the 12's but my 0-30' times are horrible.

I just can get it off the line. I tried it in 2WD mode by pulling the fuse but that was worse!!!!!!

I just sat there and smoked the tyres. :closedeyes::closedeyes::closedeyes::closedeyes::closedeyes:

Anyway, I flogged a few of my mates in stock HSV's and GT Falcons (mid to low 14"s)!

Cheers,

Bob.

Its all in tyre pressure Bob. Need to be 15psi from memory, can't remember exactly but it's a super low pressure.

Once that is set, 2nd gear burn out in rwd mode then flick to awd, on the limiter and release the clutch...when it hooks up you will be shocked what g's these cars can pull on take off.

Mine did a flat 13 when it was stock as a rock...won't get much better than that although I've heard they run a PB 12.8

Thanks Marko,

Modern Motor (April 1990 issue) ran a 13.1 stock........ That's the best I've seen in any publication. Most run around 13.7.

My tyres were set at 27psi for the fronts and 22 psi for the rears...... Guess I stuffed up on that one.

I normally run them at 34 and 30 on the road.

Was pleased with the terminal speed though.

Bob.

At 111mph it's not stock and probably making closer to 270kw at the wheels and should be doing flat 12s or even into the 11s

100% correct........ Unigroup dyno'd it at 271.6 rwkw.

Bob.

what is not stock on the car Bob?

Bar the exhaust, (3.5" front Pipe, 3" Hi Flow Cat, 3.25 Rear pipe, 3 and Hiflow rear muffler) everything you CAN'T see.......

  • Nistune
  • Sard 720cc injectors
  • Lager Walbro fuel pump
  • HKS Boost Controller
  • Splitfire coils
  • Excedy HD Clutch

nice. The Walbro pump is not to noisy?

No....... The exhaust must drone it out!

A mate of mine had a Brock Commodore VK Group A that was tricked up with a Walbro pump and that was horrendously noisy so I know what you mean.

That's still very respectable, and at least you had fun... that's the main part!

How were you launching the car Bob? These things need a little tough love from the start line, you might feel bad in doing it but it's what she's made for :) There's absolutely more to be had from your car, your 60 foot time of 2.1s could come down to 1.6 to 1.8 seconds with a bit of practice - I'm not a drag racing expert by any stretch of the imagination but that little bit shaved off the front end often seems to translate to a larger amount shaved off at the other end.

Well done in any event, at least you came out the winner against the HSVs and FPVs! :)

  • 1 month later...

So just an update on my gtr,

Installed new timing belt, HKS cam gears, water pump etc,

Bought a power fc and some hks 550cc injectors.

I had a second hand apexi avcr so I just used the boost solenoid and wiring and converted it to my power fc.

Got the car back from the tuner today and made 265kw's on 1.1bar boost!

Pretty happy and the car feels a hell of alot more alive than before!

Hey guys,

I've been off sau for a year or two. Sure we used to have another rare register with a good record of vpsecs and n1s? I'm probably just lost tho, lol.

Anyway adding for the community, in Brisbane with a 1994 Vspec II N1. Unfortunately not very standard! :-)

Cheers

Michael

Fortunately, Australia has acquired 2x BNR32 V-Spec II N1 in recent times.

Congratulations to you Michael as well.

We'd like to grab them before Canada's timeline permits...

Last six digits on mine are -311603

It's still awaiting compliance.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
