Ok guys, in my quest to achieve a 290-300rwhp, 12 second 1/4 mile in my R32 GTS-T using only street tyres, my current plan of attack consists of the following modifications (some of which i already have on the car):

Full turbo back 3" exhaust with high flow cat.

GT2530

HKS Air pod

Hybrid 600x300x75 FMIC

Bosch 040 450hp fuel pump

Fuel regulator

Tuned ROM

Decent clutch and lightened flywheel

Some further considerations for the run:

Removing the rear seats for weight reduction, 1/4 tank of fuel, bottle of octane boost, stripping my boot completely and the driver (me) have a light breakfast and skip lunch. :D

-

Questions:

1. What street tyres will be the bare minimum size needed? I would like to to do the run using the standard gts-t wheels. Is it possible on 205/55's?

2. This is the most worrying aspect of my car, i have TEIN HE coilovers which are VERY stiff, is it possible to get traction and make the 12 with such firm coil overs?

3. What boost level would be most recommended for the run? Some have said 16psi, some have said 18psi....

-

If anyone can give me some experience based advice, recommendations or answers to my questions it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

light brekky and skipping lunch will not make a difference (unless you eat like a horse).

try running 225/50's on the stockers...else you could get GTR rims which are 16x8 (as opposed to 16x6.5)

I'd probably get onto the track first and see what times you run. There's no use in us telling you to do this and that without knowing how far off you are from a 12sec 1/4. If anything a good launch will get you the most improvement.

Dont waist your money in upgrading turbos to dip into the 12's. If your not close with the 2350, you wont be any different with the 2535.

My tips are:

Deflate tyres to around 20psi

Do a good burnout to get some heat in them no matter what tyre or size they are

Try a few practise launches to get the feel of your clutch biting and grip (on the strip i can use more revs than the street)

Launching is the key, break out in wheelspin and youve lost it. Balance between revs and grip

Dont be scared to abuse your clutch if your looking for quick 60's

Make sure your gearshifts are quick.

Good luck.

The balance between revs and grip is a fine line for me.

I ran 225/55/16 tyres at the drags tonight and the clutch isn't up to scratch.

13.6@109mph (175kmh). 2.3 60ft.

I have coil overs (not as stiff as Teins)...but stockos would be better.

If i could get a flat 2 60ft, i would be running flat-low 13's.

My mods are similar to what you hope to do, cept for the clutch.

Hope that helps.

Hi Mate

Good goal you have to pull a 12.!! ANd i will agree that the difference between a high and low 12 is massive!.

Coming from just pulling a 12.5 @ 117Mph i can tell you that 20psi in ur tyres wont do anything think more like 8-10psi i was running this and helped hugely

Massive burnout heat em right up.

Dont worry about the tree just sit there and get your revs right, never go 1st 2nd hard becuase that inceases the chance of losing traction getting ur 60ft good is very important for your final time and ur MPH which is a huge sign of what your car is capable of. So run your car as it is then report back with your 60Ft time and your MPH and it should be easy to tell you what is needed performance/suspension setup to get your 12's.

I only had 2 runs before my clutch started slipping bad but ill be back in about 2 months for an 11 its definetly got it. I want to smash HPI's R34 Ive already got a higher MPH then them and I did my 12 second quarter on 40% tread 225's 17s standard road tyres.

Will be using 10Inch tread on 16 inch tyres Nitto's next time.

Good luck with your 12's mate its good fun!.

Hi Guys!,

Yeah 2rismo cant wait my 60ft times were 2.4 hahah but I just came to test see what had to be done and tyres/clutch is definetly needed. Some cars there were running into the 10's with lower MPH's so IM keen to see what can be possible on the manual and see if its viable to go Auto.

Mods to date as the car was for sale and still to a point is, check them out at

My MPH should get over the 120 mark once i get my 60fts better if anyone wants a small clip of the video it was earlier tonight at WSID I can send through listen to the car scrabble for traction 3rd gear!!

Thanks for the interest guys

Times tonight where

12.569 @ 113mph- Have clip of this run if anyone interested.

12.501 @ 117mph

3rd Time when 4th gear slipped

13.044 @ 89mph

japsky33, with 117mph and a 1.6 60' you have an 11.8-11.9 ET begging.  Good luck mate!

see my sig for times. (beofre cooler and flywheel)

I looking for 12s (12.9) as I just fitted a lightweight flywheel which are reputedly good for 0.4 - 0.5.

Also bolted in front mount cooler which should add a touch.

PowerFC coming soon.

Definent 12s

Definetly should be 12's!

WSID was designed to be one of the quickest, legal drag racing tracks in the world. There's alot of sneaky development that went into building the track, that all fits within acceptable rules. Little things like the maximum amount of downhill gradient allowed, track surface and base, as well as the U shaped design to mimimise headwind etc.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
