10 Second Gtst

[Gta51]

Hi guys

In the process if changing bits n pieces on my car for more power, Im aiming for the 340-360 rwkw mark on e85. Would that be enough for me to get a 10 sec pass in a manual 33 gtst ? Im assuming the mph would be enough!

[XRATED]

in a word 'nope'.... the road your headed is either $$ or heartache.

next question is why? why do you wan't to run a 10?

[zebra]

the power will get you there.

but will need work with the suspension to get you there consistantly

[MagicMikeZ32]

Because he owes me a 10sec car

[GTSBoy]

Getting below 11 sec in an R33 is more about tyres and rear suspension equipment than it is about power.

With 360rwkw, sticky tyres... a 10.90-10.99 is certainly on the cards if you can drive.

Usual stuff like a working diff, clutch, suspension, tyres all required.

If I recall the car in OP's avatar, it already have some goodies from previous owner. Turbo is ext gated GTX3076 from memory.

What are you changing out of interest?

Thanks for the replies

Only reason I want a 10 is its more of a long term benchmark I can work toward I guess, it's well setup up engine and suspension wise so only thing I need is some et streets.

Suspension set up for the strip?

Suspension set up for the strip?

True. huge difference between track and drag suspension setup.

[Gta51]

Currently setup for the street but will be strip ready when the cars tuned etc

[jet_r31]

leave suspension or put stock shit in..buy slicks and frontrunners..., don't fit drag radials, even though its trendy

unless you wish to

break a lot of shit.

Why would you break stuff with radials and not slicks?

[jet_r31]

slicks absorb f**kload more shock due to softer sidewalls, radials absorb f**kall=bang go driveshafts/unis/gearbox

Autos will get away with it far easier as they don';t "hit" the tyre as hard

you can also pedal a car on slicks easier , radials when they let go are heaps harder to recatch/re-grap

slicks as you start backing off you can feel them regrap

People here are slow to catch on as radials are trendy to have, but they are a expensive way to go drag racing..and slower..

Fair enough.

But good luck finding front runners that will fit over the front brakes

[LTHLRB]

Standard space saver maybe?

Last I heard they (ANDRA) banned that

[jet_r31]

theres heaps..my 15x4 convo pros with the bigger offset fitted over my r33 caliper and rotors..let alone

all the 17 inch front runners they make these days that easily fit over them

yeh space savers fit, i used them with m/t front runners aswell..but aren't they banned now

ford stud pattern makes it piss easy

cheers
