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

i crossed the line at 8k, and engine came off power badly. thats the way i got 13.872.

but if i shift into 4th it should be much better. i didnt mean for it to go to 8k.

whenever i changed to 4th i would get a 14.2-14.5

maybe i should imporve my shifts. (4th gear grinds) i need lighter oil.

8,000rpm isn't as healthy as 7,000rpm. If you aren't making power at 8,000rpm why rev it there and cop the extra wear?

At sustained revs beyond 6500rpm the standard pulley ratios will cause the water pump to cavitate.

Looks like a waste of time to me, hardly bigger just get a FMIC, I know your against it REV but someone already beat you to a 12sec pass with a stock turbo using a FMIC so they can't be all that bad with the stock turbo.

I ran a best ET of 14.4 yesterday @ heathcote.. Only had about 4 runs to try a few things unfortunately as it was pretty busy. Track was rain effected, so not sure whether that brought times down.. None of the other 5 SAU cars there could get under 15 for a stock(ish) car. Its not easy - not many VIC GTS-T guys are getting into the 13's with the stock ECU/turbo combos at all???

Tried 225/50's on stock 16" rims.. Didn't make much difference as far as i could tell as to traction..next time i will just use my street 235/45 on 17"s...

i noticed u were getting really bad launches and all of your runs 2.

wheel spin sux.. got aftermarket suspension, pineapples, and reasonable street tyres (ok, not the best, but should be enough) - not sure what else i can do to be honest.. I was getting 60' of 2.5's or so which isn't great.. even if i can knock that down to a low 2s if i got a good launch (damn helmet - can't hear shit), thats still only a 0.4s gain and only going to get me into high 13's..

After 2nd well just floored it and banged it into each gear right on 6,500 as quick as possible and foot right back to the floor .. to me they seemed like perfect changes - not sure whether i can do anything to improve that part?

I tried a bit of changing into 2nd at lower revs (5000rpm).. didn't seem to help - u just lose the speed which counters the increased traction.

Hey, I got a 14.7 before the rain kicked in [again] :)

I basically lost 1st gear to wheelspin on my 14.7 run which had a 60ft of 2.63 - this was my only run with traction control ON!

Surely the GTR-700 can do a better time than low 9's with a TS of 164.9mph? ~ I am suggesting all times were slow due to the rain-drenched track. They should have cancelled the meet but I dont think they wanted to lose the money :rolleyes:.

my quote from another thread:

my best of 14.7 is not exactly the car's potential IMO, but a bit more respectable than my first 2 efforts: 19 and 16.97 ha ha!

I think starting with a wet track was never going to be an easy task - my drag strip driving methods will be improving [i already know how to drive the car on the street].

I am a bit pissed off about the rain / times really but the day was good and the support / enthusiasm from everyone was great! thanks.

we have some good video footage too - online soon!

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
