Stop all this crapping on about what you will or won't do over the quarter based on a dyno.

Take it to the strip, till you do an actual 13 you can say nothing. Tell everyone you expect 14's so when you run 13's you can act pleased.

My old R33 gtst ran low 13's with less work on horsepower output and more on maximising engine response, something a dyno doesn't show you. You may like to spend some time on traction issues too. You don't need that much power to run low 13's just good average power.

I reckon if people like guessing about 1/4 mile times so much based on dynos someone should start taking bets. I think I'd do pretty good business as a bookie. :(

I ran a 13.6 with 155rwkw in my R33 gtst, the turbo wouldnt hold boost, and the clutch was slipping, this was at WSID, if I had a scanner I would post it for you.

Come to think of it I ran the 13.6 with only 3in zorst from turbo, and EMS stinger, bleed valve set for 15psi.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
