Really... They dont do 100km/h in 2nd? Rev it more man!?

I know the r33 gtst's do 100km/h @ 7000rpm.

Dads Euro accord is not bad, 120km/h @ 7000rpm

I wish 1st gear was more like 75km/h rather than 50km/h in the r33. I find 1st isnt very good for booting coz its just wheel spin, although if I was 4wd like ur GTR 'u basted lol' I spose 50km/h is fine.

Mines 'totally standard' bar a cat back 3" exhaust and pods and i'm pleasantly suprized at how well it goes in a straight line, should hold its own against most factory cars.

Certainly a big jump from your previous Lazer ;)

But dont get to excited as there not that fast, and theres still plenty of cars out there that will smoke you (and Me!) :)

And IMHO its not a good look getting smoked in a GTR as generally people expect them to be quick and win...be selective who you race :);)

Aim to achieve about 450rwhp which can be done with a turbo/injectors/afm/powerFC/exhaust/cams combination.

It is reliable on a good, stock internalled, engine and won't destroy the gearbox/clutch/drivetrain.

Then there wont be too many cars on the road that will smoke it :) :)

Cheers

Ken

yeah, I'm guessing some R8 commodores and TE/TS50 Falcons would beat it

but I am not that confident in changing gear fast yet :)....feels a bit bumpy in the change too

I rekon the fun thing is letting little excels, lancers and lasers beat you :)...and you in the GTR easing up to the speed limit

no factory standard R8 or falcon should come close, especially from standing start!

remove the boost restrictor and retune the stock ecu and not much will come close :crazy:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
