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


Recommended Posts

the 255's let down to allow side wall flex would do the 225's in over the 60ft. If we are talking the same rubber compound/tyre.

The inflation of 36psi will put the 255s at some disadvantage Vs 15psi. Then again 15psi might be too low if you are talking street tyres (not nitto's or mt's).

If the tyres are the same rubber/compound, then the tyres with less pressure will give you the most traction. Width of tyres does make a difference but not as much as pressure. A 355 trye at 30psi has the same contact area on the tarmac as a 195 tyre at 30psi. The contact area is determined by the weight on the tyre and it's pressure. So with the 16"s there is more sidewall to flex, given that the compund is the same over the 2, I think the 225 on 15psi qould be your better bet.

Atmospheric BOV`s might help more air to pass, but, having an Air Flow meter equipped car you confuse the ECU and undo any bennifits you could achieve.

I would recommend using a GREDDY plum back style, Which flows 2-3 times the air. It might not sound as good as the standard , but, the truth of the matter is the more restrictive your BOV is the louder it is.

Or you can get away with an atmospheric type when using a S-AFC as this is equipped with a function that momentarily sends a preset A/F meter signal to the ECU when the BOV is venting. No more kneecapping flames !

Agreements - Disagreements ?

boostd,

I'm not a fan of the aftermarket BOV on a stock turbo. Experience shows me they are often a step backwards in performance.

It is a superficial mod. It is totally unnecessary in the pursuit of a 13.4 second 1/4mile.

Flywheel questions

After the new flywheel went in did you notice an increase in fuel consumption? Also when crusing around town does the car tend to slow down more quickly when you back off the accelerator (ie feels like your towing a small trailer up a hill)?

I can see how a light weight flywheel would make the car go faster but how practical is it to do for a daily driver??

If you have this problem make sure you get a full exhaust system, deffinetly makes it a smoother ride (also better midrange power).

Benm: Dude wat are u talkin about. This has nothin to do with exhausts, the fact that he has a lightened flywheel means the car will rev quicker hence will also drop revs quicker aswell. It may give the feelin that the car is slowing quicker to some.

As i said, with a full exhaust system the engine will breath easier and wont 'slow down' as much when off the accelerator, its 1 of the first things i noticed when swapping my stock dump/front pipe to a 3" custom.

the lightened flywheel will decrease the time it takes for the engine to speed up or slow down (to a far lesser degree).

I have one of the lightest flywheels around @4.8kg and it's nothing but a pleasure to drive in traffic. My entire car is based on being 'comfortable' over long distances and in heavy traffic for long periods.

Many a slow-ass-know-little will tell you that the lightened flywheel is this or that and poo poo. Kick them in the head and move on, if it's your friend then kick them softly in the head.

lol. This was actually a guy who claimed to be a race mechanic at an autobarn store?? Some of the stuff he said made sense.... but he denied the existance of the boost solenoid on R33s tho, said something about the second cam kicking in at 4700.

nigasnt

Yeah i know... he also said something about his uncle being on the 32GTR bathurst team??? Thats when he lost me.

Altho some of the stuff he was saying made heaps of sense... prolly coz i aint know shite...

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
