Just thought i would let everyone know that last night i only got 4 runs because it was busy as.

But I just want everyone know what I got with what mods so that people can see what is possible, because when i first got my car i thought it wouldnt be.

Anyways I'll write down the mods that would have an impact on my time, compared to stock.

500hp Clutch

235/45/17s

Turbosmart Bleed Valve (10psi)

Pod Filter

Iridium IX Plugs (Gap 0.8)

Cat-Back Exhaust (with STOCK cat)

Front/Dump Pipe

With those mods plus some suspension and crap like that i ran a

13.892 @ 102.85mph

60' @ 2.273 (shit time, i can do a 2.11)

so there is a possiblity for a 13.7 if i can do another 2.11 60' time and pull it all together, but my "drag" tyres were running a bit on the bald side.

Just thought i would let everyone know that a 13 is very very possible with light mods.

Good stuff.

I ran 13.8's back in the old gtst days with very little done as well. At this time people on the WA forum were telling me I couldn't run a 13.

3 inch Exhaust (standard cat)

10psi bleeder.

Pineapples, they only cost $100 odd and are a 10min job to fit.

I did mine on a 38deg C day though, on 205's with about 100kgs of work stuff in the car

You couldn't have asked for a better night to race in terms of air quality. Very cold and reasonably dry air, excellent for making power.

I think you have further shown how these cars don't like to be 'riced'. Simple little efficiency mods are all you need. Mid 13's are not hard to get either and you certainly don't need a front mounted intercooler. I think the vast majority of the front mounted cooler brigade in R33s with factory turbos are still stuck in 14's, where they belong. :D

Fane - Don't forget... You had thermal wrap on the intercooler return pipe too :) Big win :) (must do that soon)

Just to give everyone another example that 13's can be had with mild mods....

I did 13.96 @ 101.8mph, 2.265 60' with.....

Xtreme Ceramic clutch (Auto-clutch special :))

235/45/17s

EBC @ 9psi

POD Filter

NGK Copper Plugs @ 0.8

Cat-back exhaust (STOCK 2.25" cat) *cough*

Just a front pipe, Stock Dump.

Oh yeah, Nismo coilover suspension (hard as hell)

At this point the car was running rich as hell, as it had No AFCII at the time...flamethrowing on every gear change *drool*

    • 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.
