trap speed vs rwkw

[7heavn]

Had the GTR back at the drags last night got a personal best in before the radiator decided to pack it in went [email protected] with a 1.7 60ft. Car is currently making 270rwkw on unigroups dyno in Sydney .

My question is that to me the trap speed seems abit low for this power level specially after reading about other r32 GTR's with similiar power going 117mph plus though the top end ?.

r/t .549

60' 1.784

330' 5.077

660' 7.837

mph 91.48

1000' 10.138

ET 12.104

MPH 113.99

k/mh 183.45

Don't know the cars exact race weight at the time. It's a r32 GTR vspec N1 had about half a tank of fuel and rear plus passanger seats removed. The pass seemed pretty clean didn't miss any changes and shifted at about the right rpms. What do you guys reckon?.

Mate, honestly it sounds about right. If I didn't know ny better though, i'd say thsi post was a total gee up.

All jokes aside, if i was guessing what your trap speed probably should be, +/- 10% i'd have to say it's not too far off what i'd expect. I would prob have guessed about 115mph so that's not too bad. Well done for getting out there and racing though

Yeh must not be much more left in it then, I soppose it's time to lean on these 2530's abit harder then. I'd love to know how these other GTR's with even less power then mine are trapping 117mph plus or maybe the owners are stretching the truth.

i have n1 turbos in my r33 gtr , stock injectors ( they are at their limit ) stock cooler , even stock airbox ,ebc and power f/c on 1.2 bar .

i have run 11.7 @120.85 mph , 1.846 60 ft but a lot of wheel spin in first and a little in second .

Hey wrxhoon hows things. Do you know what type of power you are making at the wheels?. Like I said before there are even a few examples of r32 GTR's on these forums with less power running in the high 11's at 117mph plus , one example would be HIRISK's old white r32 GTR which trapped 117mph with about 250rwkw. I'm alittle frustrated at the moment because everything else is fine I'm just lacking that little bit of top end to be able to reach my goal of an 11 sec pass.

114mph in your car *could* be an 11.9 already - just work on getting the power down in 1st and get off the line with a 1.6-1.7 60' time. You'll get there.

was it you last wednesday at wsid ? i was there with another r33 gtr testing it .

i just noticed you have 2530"s ( i thought you had n1's ) .

i know of another r33 with 2530's he has about 275 kw and hid 12.1 @110 mph but 1.7 60 'in all his runs . we took it and had it retuned but never been at the drags again it will be intersting to see what he does now .

i dont know what power i have but at a guess 300 rkw min .

i wish i could get 1.7 60 ft , mine is not a vspec so that may be the reason for not geting traction .

Yep was me at WSID last wednesday white 32 GTR with black wheels. Yep I saw you guys there and I had a funny feeling it was you but wasn't 100%. After what you say about your mates r33 my figures seem pretty right now . Looks like I'll just have to lean on the turbo's more and come up with something closer to 300rwkw for some consistant 11sec passes .

i was there with another gtr , series 3 f33 , this one has gtrs's and i'm trying to sort it out , it has 340kw but could only do 12.4@113mph , the clutch was sliping if you launched hard .the last run we got a good launch 1.8 60 ft but missed 3rd gear, it did 12.4 but 110mph , that should have been 12-12.1 .

the other gtr with 2530's has been tuned since but hasnt been back at the drags , that should do high 11's now .

my car should do low -mid 11 's with 121 mph trap , when i took it there the track was very slippery though .

with a better tune and your 1.7 60 ft + lighter car you should do 11's every day .

if you want a good tune pm me and i'll tell you where to take it .

we are taking the series 3 there on monday , let you know how it goes when we go back to wsid .

i got a feeling that the n1 turbos are much better than a lot of people think they are .
