Hey guys taking my R33 Gtst up to the drags in the very near future. Just looking for tips to make car run faster. Just small things. Not simple stuff like fuel tyre pressure etc. I'm talking skyline stuff like removing 2 stage boost etc. Its auto btw

remove 2 stage boost, buy my boost controller! its a go fast bits, http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452716-heaps-of-r33r34-parts-cheap-turbo-screamer-bov-lsd-bov-r33-headlights/

use the handbrake to spool up boost then launch.

please tell me you have the min mods on ur car such as a full exhaust, FMIC?.

Even beyond this you are strongly risking throwing the guts of the turbo down the exhaust. If you don't have these mods then she is not going to be happy after a few runs and Ill put a greater than 50/50 bet on u throwing the turbo...

**do not recommend**

That's not the biggest load of garbage I've ever read but dammit it's up there!

Iv come across plenty of people that have popped the stocker and many of them on the drag strip/trackdays.

Maybe years ago when the turbo and the engine were newer this would have been fine. but with the age of these motors and stock turbos now not so much. Lots of oil deposits in the feed lines and probably build up in the coolant feed too. Sure, some cars will be still clean and healthy. Many not.

This guy doesn't even note an intercooler or exhaust mod...

But hey, f**k it, go run it at the strip mate. enjoy. Im just doing my best to give well reasoned, non-hectic advice.

remove everything you can out of the car

fit the best tyres you can afford

1/2 tank of fuel

Wouldn't bother with a burn out unless your on drag tyres

Redline atf.

10psi of boost with boost T

Get as much temperature out if you can before each run (take a garden sprayer to cool down the intercooler and radiator)

think 14 second quarters if it's a very well driven solid car...

aaaand nitrous fixes everything!

If your running very light mods. I don't recommend a burnout without the appropriate tyres and drivetrain upgrades. Even though im in a manual, my very first pass cooked the stock clutch after a decent burnout and I could barely move off the line before crossing the line in an 18 or 19 sec with a very sad face.

Your not going to gain anything major without doing something major. Just remove anything that doesn't need to be in the car, even the 2 stage boost mod will likely not even register on the time sheet. All your time will be found in a clean run with the right launch.

I found my biggest gain by far is my Mickey Thompson tyres. Even my Turbo upgrade didn't do much (180rwkw upto 245rwkw), What I gained in top speed I lost in the first 60 foot. Minor gain but not enough to warrant the price tag.

Enjoy it though, I aint been for a long time and am just starting to get all the urges again. Certainly fun and very easy to get into.

The Adrian in the post above yours is me. I know what I'm talking about.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
