it had a 3" exhaust ,pod filter,standard auto not manual,1 bar of boost and avgas and tolunene it ran those times with street rubber not slicks 1.8 60 foot.

thank you

mick

The Auto was not stock. It had been tricked up with a 3000rpm high stall and shift kit. Its best was 13.4 @ willowbank http://www.autospeed.com/A_1050/page1.html

Unless you mod the stockie you are not going to get a very reasonable time, slicks or not.

Having said that the mods don't need to cost much to get you into a mid/low 13 in street trim should you want to.

I'd say if you scored the catback on your import from japan it could cost just a bit over $1000AUS for the mid 13 and just under $2000 for a low to flat 13. Regular 98 fuel and no slicks.

113mph terminal with only a pod filter, 3inch zorst and 1 bar of boost on a stock turbo?

Rrriiiiiiight...... (Quote Dr Evil) :P

What I find strange is.....

I was making ~150-155rwkw. on 12psi with an exhaust and AF's tuned using the Fuel pressure reg bleed kit.

Everything else was stock.

I had a run against Andy's R33 GTR which at the time was dead stock.

He had a 5000rpm clutch dump and I had a 4000rpm launch with not much wheel spin.

I held in front where his front was sitting at my rear wheel all the way through fourth gear.

Wouldn't this indicate a low 14 possibly even high 13?!?!

Also I had a Lightened Flywheel that was the only other mod.

I would take his word seeing as he probably did all the work to the car..

Hey Skyline King did it have stock ecu ?? i am asking this because i wanna know how much extra power you can get with stock by just using better fuel because most guys on here don't believe you can...

Thanks for your time..

So if you can run 12.8 with thoes mods listed a low 13 might not be out of the books with my setup...

Guest Skyline King

yes it had the stock ECU we turned the timing up alot as we used good octane fuel,REV210 believe it or not i'm only trying to help you guys in this topic and that is it's possible to run low 13's with a FAIRLY stock R33, i mean i have only devoted 6 years of my life understanding RB motors......so heck what would i know ( just a joke )

thanks

Sounds good Shell, wednesday week?

:burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

how about wednesday this week? It's new years day...and the way I'll be feeling, i won't really give a **** about what anyone does to my car :bahaha:

Kabab with cheese,

I think you might be able to do it.

Here is what I think you will need.

Slicks at the right PSI

No ELF but some octane boost/avgas/toluene to overcome our shit fuels

Remove your air filter.

Every ounce of weight out of the car.

You will need to change the suspension to at least handle a +4K launch. (But now we are not really a stocker!)

And the most important thing will be lots of practice and someone who really knows how to quarter mile. And I dont know if your the one Kababy boy?

But seriously what do I know about 1/4 mile, nothing! But my father inlaw is an old timer Drag racer, he did all the design work behind Dragway Mags, as his brother is the owner. He said the tyres and suspension and the two big things other than Horses.

joel your time would have been a high 13 I reckon . and yes I'm serious. but it can all turn to shit at the track. cause thats a different game.

love the 60' time skyline king is that when he was looking for a tougher trans afterward. 1.8 is quite a feat. but very doable

Mick,

I appreciate that you worked on the car. Forgive me if I am a little skeptical due to the very high terminal speed. I'd love to be able to get that sort of terminal (as would anyone ) with so few mods.

I was under the impression that the stock ecu has a crap ignition timing curve. At least one not able to make too much use of the extra boost and octane. Did the car see any dyno around the time of the 12.8 / 113mph ? I'd be interested to know the result.

What brand/type of tyre was he running / mixture of tolunene / base idle timing ?

He didn't have an aftermarket intercooler did he?

I'd love to have a go and prove you right at my own expense.:P

Cheese in kebab's is just wrong :)

With the suspension i my car i was taking off at 5500rpm and still bogging down.. so i don't think you would have to change suspension that much.. maybe just let the tire pressure down..

geeze after reading this entire thread i'd love to get my car out onto a drag strip and let it rip

Now if only their were no crowds or people around so that i could practice first coz i've never driven on a track before.

Argh, this is a frustrating thread, so much misstruth's flying around.

Firstly Elf fuel will only give horsepower if the engine is tuned for the fuel. And the fuel will probably stuff up your oxygen sensor and cat and perhaps even rubber fuel lines.  

Also a quicker 60 foot time will improve your trap speed, which is kind of obvious. if you get off to a better start then you have more track to  gain speed. That being said a "stock" (No exhaust no mods full stop) will be lucky to get into the 13s, however one with full exhaust pod and somehow tuned for the elf fuel, with slicks would go close to a 13.3

this maybe true? but EVERY run i have done plus all the runs i have seen my mates do have had bigger mph with crap 60 ft times eg my capri turbo run [email protected] yet ran a best time of [email protected] same day!

a COMPLETELY stock r33 gts with std everything as per the nissan factory i mean exhaust, filter everthing wouldn't do a 13 sec time, like someone else said some of you can't even run a 13 with mods so how u gonna do a low 13 stock? an auto r33 with full 3" exhaust, pod filter hks type, 12-14 psi, advanced timing and avgas will run a low 13 like a 13.2 or around this eg SUBZERO did it with try09? think it was? when it was mildly modded!

mick, how did you get a 1.8 60ft with the std auto? my gf's s14 auto's best was 2.16 for the [email protected]. for this i had to sit on the line and get it to just turn the tyres (boost) then go, reaction times were like 2.5 secs! a mate of mine run 12.8 @106mph in his auto z with similar mods to 4ced except it was optimax & nos octane booster!

I was looking around at a few web sites today and stumbled upon a Skyline Info page.

They said the R33 would run to 100km's in 6.2 secs where as the R32 would run in 6.3 secs.

Don't really know where they got those times from.. Apparently they were the official times from nissan.

I'll have to dig up the link if my history is there. Damn history is gone.. :)

  • 2 weeks later...

i only just read a post on here that says...

look at all these people with mods tho.... hicks is pulling 13.7 (BEST)

and he's got 14psi, POD, full zorst, FMIC.. all that...

if you can pull a high 13 stock, why spend $2500 on those mods

firstly, if he spent $2500 on all that it must be mega **** gear, and if its legit and he can only run 13.7 something is drastically wrong

.....stock r33 gtst, you would have to be a very f ****n awesome driver to get into 13's, im talkin no nothin, pod, suspension..nothin..ive got an r33 with a few minor mods and its quick but some people dont realise what it actually takes to run a good time...

eg, all those vx clubsport pieces of trash, think theyve got the quickest car in the world, claimed around low 14s stock, u watch all the heroes on the track and they r lucky if they get into the 14s...ive seen many 16s even

stock..the best u could hope for is a high 13..on a cold night, i wish it was quicker though....

Remember its not just all about 1/4 times. Its also about the seat of the pants feel.

Personally I'd rather a really quick car on street tyres, some thing quick 0-100.

I think just over 200rwkw is a good power level for the street much quicker and you start having to spend to much on tyres and to much worry about wheel spin.

200rwkw in a 32 with stock suspension will pull a low 13 anyhow.

Which is getting damn close to the 300k Porsche Territory.

Very similiar power (20-30rwkw) but the porche weighs an extra 300kg's.

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
