13.4 second 1/4 for your 'stockish' R33. (A how to guide).


Recommended Posts

gts-vspec,

You didn't have the wing on when you did the 13.5, what about the other times you went down?

And didn't you take 10% out of the mixtures while you were there too?

judd,

You should just PM Rhino, he's a WA boy so have a look for him on the WA side of the forum.

rev,

No I haven't bothered ever running with the wing on, apparently it does make a noticable difference, slower when its on due to the drag.

The only mixtures I've change is to take out some fuel at idle, nothing related to the power.

Judd,

Rhino's previoous best was somewhere in the mid 13's, so don't be too dishearted. Once your comfortable with the car you can start launching and shifting harder, you will see your times tumble.

Ive run my best times with no BOV

Will put one back on once i fix some problems associating it,

I dont get any lag..at all! Just puts a little extra pressure on the turbo between gear changes and sounds a little poofy!

Rev i think you need to do a few mid 13s to back up most of the how to do a 13.5 bla bla with stock bla blas, or maybe im just Jealous :D

I should be ready for a squirt next wednesday at kwinana for steady high 12s

I wish I was that consistant, but on my last time down most runs were under 14, which is good. My 60' times are getting better with 2.1's and 2.2's mainly.

Works Auto ran a 13.3 the other day, and he said that his MPH was higher and thought that it may have been becasue of removing his GTR rear wing. Do wings, if there not very high, cause much drag?

Just adding my 2 cents worth here.

On ,y 32 i decided to stick with the stock BOV until it started leaking boost. But last night ran 17psi still not leaking.

It works really well , never gives any trouble and the mixtures stay perfect. its staying for a while now :D

40RCD ran a 13.4 @ 108mph with automatic trans, 15psi boost, avgas and toulene, timing advanced, 3 inch exhaust about 3 years ago before it got heavily modified. oh it was good fun on the streets!! :wave: wheelspun all through first into second for abit then took off. had many good race against my other mates VL turbo with the same mods.

rev210: i reckon you'll break 12s if you strip your rear seats to the boot :rolleyes:

i ran 13.4@103mph with full exhaust, airfilter (pod style no shield), bov, 1bar with EBC and stripped interior from rear seats to boot. everything else is stock including drivetrain, suspension and tyre pressure.

i believe a street car should run 'as is' without deflating tyre pressures or changing suspension setup :D

VISHES,

I agree with you about 'street trim' thats why I haven't put slicks on the car. Everything else I do is 'street trim' including the tyre pressure. I drove around after the drags with 20psi in my tyres, I just don't fang it around corners.

The 12 pass is there without stripping weight, the mph is high enough if I can reduce the 60ft to 2.0 or 1.9. That would probably require some better tyres, which I can't be bothered buying till these ones wear out, after all its a work car.

    • I sense an out of control build thread coming up lololol. That 450kW goal will end up being 600 to 700kW LOL.
    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back.
