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.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
