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.

    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
