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


Recommended Posts

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!

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
