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


Recommended Posts

i got a 13.981 at calder last night... could have probably done better, but happy for a first real strip run. Set my 235/45 tyres to 16psi and I have pineapples on the back - seem to have less traction probs than some of the other gts-t boys who also ran.

What mods do you have??

a few :P its not really "stockish" though as the thread indicates...ah well..

S-AFC, cold air intake, dump pipe, hi-flow CAT, HKS Super Dragger II cat-back, blitz pod, HKS FMIC, ProfecB EBC, heavy duty clutch, pineapples, zeal coilovers, falken 235/45R17.. stock ECU, stock Turbo @ 13psi

i think some heat buildup and trying a bit too hard could have effected my later runs.. i'm gonna wrap some of my piping soonish to maybe fix that for next time.

thanx :( other runs were around mid-14 at higher MPH (~100).

Its all in the takeoff, which i'm sure you know, but its definitely what I found out on friday. The difference between a 14 sec run and a 13 second run is all in a good takeoff.

Easier just to just post the timesheet with the 60', etc.

If I can get that a bit lower (which I think I can next time), I think I may be able to get about a 13.6 or something with a perfect launch and my current mods. I'll be happy with that until I one day I upgrade the turbo, ecu and maybe a couple of other things which should push me into the 12's. 12's for a daily driver that is RWD would be pretty nice I reckon :(

anyway, enough about me.. back to general discussion

yeah.. other runs were worse launches, but better shifting after that, resulting in higher top speed of around 101mph

If i can pull both off in the one run i'll get somewhere around the mid-13 i think as well.. tyre pressure could have been a bit low @ 16psi for street tyres??

I ran 14.370 @ 98.79, 60' 2.407 with a pod (no cai) and a 3" cat back zorst. I believe that 60' time could come down a few tenths with a bit of practice (I only had 3 runs on the day).

I just dont get it. predator666 you've got some decent mods I'm guessing they'd be around $2k rrp? Surely to goodness your $2k mods are more than 0.3sec better than my $400 mods? It looks like you can launch it better than I can also.

A question for all: How much did you spend (and on what), and what affect did it have on your times???

Most of the stuff came on my car.. but if u added them up prolly $6000-$7000 or so :P read back a page for the full list. 0.3 is a reasonable difference.. and 1 second is a massive difference in terms of what you need to do to your car most of the time.

That run i felt like a pretty perfect launch, and i took it a lot more easy on the gear changes afterwards. Maybe i backed off right at the end? (no idea). Anyway, its all in the timesheet up above, i'm no expert, and i don't remember every single detail! I only had about 4 runs.. next time i go, i'll hopefully have some more runs, and hopefully get a better time as a result of the practise.

Waming up your tyres with a burnout is good for show, but not really going to help you on street tyres.

I ran at eastern creek again last night and got a 13.102 @ 108.46 mph, killing my old time of 13.7 @ 105. I was much happier. My 60ft this time was much better, of 2.114 over 2.365.

I walked away grinning from ear to ear (I was hoping for a 13.4) :) :) .

I have standard internals, injectors and fuel pump. I am running a custom plenum, XF trottle body, FMIC, EMS management, high flowed turbo (metal wheels, no bb centre), running 17psi boost, exhaust, etc.. The tyres are 255/35R18 Fulda street tyres let down to 20psi.

Here is a pic of my engine bay,

They are close but still handling it. We have looked at them closely on the Dyno, but they are still upto the task at the moment. I am looking at a bigger turbo at the moment, so I will have to do something about the fuel system soon.

    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
