80 in second, WOW!

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

Exactly my plan :)

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:

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
