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...

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
