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


Recommended Posts

Back on the PCV valve catch can subject, the PCV valve is only open at vacuum and shut at any boost pressure, so why block it off altogether as I thought the catch can is mainly necessary while under higher boost and not general cruising.

Why have ANY crankcase vapor entering the manifold I say?

I agree.

Your oil collects condensation overnight, which is the first thing to evaporate when you are warming up your engine. I don't like to come on boost when my engine is cold so all the crap would be going thro my engine(with the PVC valve operating). I have already experienced the following effects by blocking off the PVC valve- Cleaner oil, cleaner plugs , sh*t tins better fuel economy, no condensation coming out of my exhuast, cleaner intake system. from what I can see it does nothing at all to improve your engine just pollution control. I found a small screw fits nicely into the PVC valve and still looks standard.

Anyone got a pic to describe this mod? Ie where you have put the screw? roughly?

Boostd: do you need to have a catch tank or can you just do the screw mod with similar results? PM me if you dont wanna post this info :)

Thanks :P

Make sure you get one with two nipples, a level meter and a drain plug. Also the nipples should direct the air/vapour almost directly onto a metal plate, have a look inside one and you will see what I mean. I have seen some cheap cans that don't have this and fail to separate the oil and air properly which causes the filter to get blocked very quickly.

the highflow will help and so will the low ratio diff. Maybe 13 flat like you said if you can leave the line quick enough.

So you think if my Apexi speed meter is reading flat 13's then it should be correct for the type of mods ?

with the stock turbo the best time i got with the auto was a 13.59 then i installed the T3 / T4 combo and it went down to flat 14's.

Then i installed the manual 5 speed and it went down to 13.02 13.02 13.10 13.28

The dif ratio helps heaps because i get to wind it out in 4th heaps before the end of the quarter

No not necassarily. I know of people with 12 second readings who can only do low 14's. The accuracy varies, on the whole it is not comparable at all to the real 1/4mile.

For the modifications you have I see a 13 second flat or a low 12 comming all things being right on the night (they seldom are).

Go race and find out.

Rev's right. The one thing the Apexi speed meters don't take into consideration is wheel spin.

You can sit in one spot and bag the wheels up, and once they wheels have done 400m worth of rotations it'll give you a time :P

When i do my quarter runs & 0-100 runs i DONT wheel spin.

I find i get better launches taking off clutch spin on boost and floor it once i feel im gettin enuf traction

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
